Revenge-Candice Swanepoel shows school bullies what she's made of in racy shoot
Nice way to revenge school bullies
If only they could see her now... well, they'd have to have been hiding under a rock if the haven't.
But the 23-year-old said modelling has been the perfect revenge for those bullies. While modelling a range of beachwear and lingerie for GQ, the blonde said she felt like an outside growing up in South Africa Durban
She told the magazine: 'A year before I got scouted, I would watch a lot of FashionTV. At school, I got teased because I was so thin and awkward-looking. But the girls on TV looked similar to me. 'I would say to my mom "The girls at school are teasing me, but I look like those girls on TV". A year later, someone took me to an agency and that’s it. Revenge is always… I know it sounds terrible, but it does feel good to show those people.
'I put all my eggs in one basket when I left South Africa
Candice, who has been dating Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli since she was 17, said that whenever she feels down, she'll look at social networking sites to cheer up.
'Whenever you feel down, you can check on Twitter and feel better about yourself, because it’s only people who like you.'
The beauty said she had developed lasting friendships with fellow Victoria
'It’s so nice. We live a very different life that not many other people can understand.'
In one shot for the magazine, Candice can be seen showing off her incredibly long legs in just a pink thong, covering her chest with her arms.
In another, she dons just a white, full-piece swimsuit and an orange and black flower necklace.
The star graces the cover of the magazine, posing seductively with her finger in her mouth, wearing a red and black one-piece.
Wow-Octomum Nadya Suleman poses topless as she reveals she 'pinged back into shape like a rubber band'
What a change, good lesson for all moms
Most new mothers would recoil at the thought of stripping off for the camera after giving birth.
But Nadya Suleman, more commonly known as Octomum, has posed nude to reveal her post-baby body - albeit with a pair of flesh coloured knickers to protect her modesty.
Admittedly, she had waited three years. But the mother-of-14 says she has finally shrunk back to a size she likes after losing a staggering ten stone.
She even claims that she has 'never looked this good.' In fact, as she posed topless for Closer, Nadya is rather boastful in many aspects of her life, crediting herself with being 'such a good mother' and saying she is swamped with 'too much male attention'. She also seemed a little irate that no one is giving her more praise, as she revealed: 'The kids have structure and discipline and only eat healthily, they don’t know what candy is! 'I’ve done a really great job with them. I don’t get any credit.' Juggling so many children, Nadya claims she has been celibate for 13 years and that all of her children were all conceived through a sperm donor as she simply has no time for a man.
She said: 'I get too much male attention, but I won’t date until the octuplets are 18 - I live for them.
'I know a lot of women like male attention, but I’ll go out with no make-up on and wear tracksuits, a wig and even a fake pregnancy stomach to put them off.'
Yet it seems there is nothing Nadya can do to disinterest men as she has such a fantastic figure. She said: 'I just pinged back into shape like a rubber band after the kids, I don’t know how I did it. I eat like a horse, don’t count calories and have never owned a set of scales.
'I gained an entire human when I was pregnant with the octuplets, going from 10st to over 19st, but two months later, I was a size 8 again. Now, I never weigh myself.'
The 36-year-old gave birth to her brood in 2009, and after the six boys and two girls turned three in January, they became the longest-surviving set of octuplets in American history. While she claims to be proud of her shape, not even minding the stretch marks on her stomach, Nadya did admit that just two weeks after her C-section, she began doing 50 sit-ups a day. She also became a fitness fanatic, hitting the gym three times a week for two-hour stints in the middle of the night while a friend babysat so she could 'get stronger'. 'I've never believed in diets,' Nadya said. 'I just eat healthily. I’m a pescatarian and eat 15 portions of fruit or vegetables a day. I eat so much!
'Now, I run 40 miles a week, whenever my mum or a friend will babysit, but it’s still just for stress relief. My eldest son (aged 10) even comes with me sometimes - he can manage a couple of miles.'Nadya, who claims to live off media interest rather than state handouts (although she’s eight months in arrears on her mortgage and facing eviction) says she won't rule out a future romance. She added: 'I wouldn’t rule out a relationship in the future. But now, when men look at me, I look away and they know not to approach me. I know I’m beautiful - I don’t need a man to tell me that.'
