NYC Missing Model Found

Ataui Deng, a model based in New York City, was seen leaving a party by her boyfriend. He claimed she had been acting strangely, and he did not report her missing until eight days after the fact.

Luckily, Deng was found in a New York City hospital; however, her condition has not has not yet been determined. Deng had been missing for twelve days.

I don’t think I am the only one who finds the boyfriend suspicious in this case. And by the short length of and lack of detail in the article, I’m thinking the police might be holding back some information for that reason. If your significant other is acting, as the boyfriend said, “irregularly” and didn’t come home after leaving a party, then one would think you would be concerned. Furthermore, you wouldn’t wait eight days to contact the authorities! There is something not right about this story. I hope Deng is not injured and can return to her normal life soon.


Forbes’s Top 21 Highest-Paid Supermodels

Forbes has released the list of the highest-paid supermodels of 2014. It seems American models are most represented with seven out of the twenty-one. Britain and Brazil have three representatives each, and the rest are from a myriad of different countries.

All of the models on the list, save four, have worked for Victoria Secret in some capacity.

The list is as follows:
1.  Gisele Bündchen—Brazil; $47 million
2.  Doutzen Kroes—Holland; $8 million
3. Adriana Lima—Brazil; $8 million
4. Kate Moss—Britain; $7 million
5. Kate Upton—America; $7 million
6. Miranda Kerr—Australia; $7 million
7. Liu Wen—China; $7 million
8. Alessandra Ambrosio—Brazil; $5 million
9. Hilary Rhoda—America; $5 million
10. Natalia Vodianova—Russia; $4 million
11. Carolyn Murphy—America; $4 million
12.  Karlie Kloss—America; $4 million
13. Jourdan Dunn—Britain; $4 million
14. Anja Rubik—Poland; $3.5 million
15. Cara Delevingne—Britain; $3.5 million
16. Candice Swanepoel—South Africa; $3 million
17. Joan Smalls—Puerto Rico; $3 million
18. Erin Wasson—America; $3 million
19. Erin Heatherton—America; $3 million
20. Lindsey Wixson—America; $3 million
21. Daria Werbowy—Canada; $3 million

As you can see by the list, while America has the most names, Brazil easily has the highest dollar amount. All of the Americans’ values added together ($26 million) don’t even add up to Gisele Bündchen’s total. In fact, there is a $39 million difference between her and Doutzen Kroes, #2 on the list. Gisele might want to watch out for jealous models. I wouldn’t put murder past any of them, especially when they are in a state of hunger-induced psychosis.
