In Bloom: Laura de Lannoy

Here's a little story for everyone before I delve into this. Once upon a time, on the last day of 2007, I spent the morning online with Penelope from MNP, searching through the bevy of new faces presented during the reopening of the Way Model Management website. Generally, Penny tends to prefer a slightly softer face, compared to my tastes for a more intense look. However, when our tastes meet (and Way seems to have a habit of making that happen), the results are laced with enthusiasm on both parts. So imagine my excitement when I saw Brazilian Laura de Lannoy who seemingly epitomizes the convergence of our tastes as she's both youthful and intense behind her eyes, and all around stunner at 5'11" and 31-24-35.

Fast forward to this morning, almost three months afterwards and not an update to be had. I was actually planning on profiling Laura sometime this week, so imagine my surprise when I saw Laura profiled on O2W this morning! Plus, it turns out that Penelope's initial guess that Laura would end up at Marilyn was correct after all. Though I secretly loath how archaic Marylin's website is, their board is finally starting to come back together again, and Laura should make a great addition.




She's tall, youthful, and has the devious quality to her stare that I will always find incredibly alluring. It's just again reassuring to know that other people are seeing the same potential that you do. I just cannot wait to see how Laura develops under the management at Marilyn

Oh I'll always remember this day... I don't often have good memories from the last days of a year, everything goes too slow for me, people are obsessed with eating... but 2007 saw the re-opening of Way MM website and I will never forget the excitement of the moment we talked about Laura and Alice, their two newest and most promising new faces! Glad to see our forecasts were exact: she's now with Marilyn.

I almost forgot that was the day you introduced me to Alice Langeani as well. We must have looked like kids in a candy store going through all of those incredible new Brazilians. What a great way to end the year!

Though I really do believe you were the one who predicted Marilyn for Laura, I just stood by and watched the chip falls! ;)
