Cindy Kimberly : 5 Facts You Didnt't Know

She bacame fast the most envied woman on the Internet after Justin Bieber posted her photo to Instagram and demanded to know who she was. She hasn’t made any comment or statement since Biebs put her on blast in a december 7 post . That photo generated over 110,000 comments to his page.



1.She’s Not Just a Belieber; Kimberly Is Also a 1D Fan ...

In what might prove to be a shocking development for those Beliebers who want Kimberly and Justin to get together, she’s also a One Direction fan. On November 13, Kimberly posted the lyrics to the 1D classic “If I Could Fly.”The furor around Kimberly comes as One Direction’s Niall Horan is rumored to be dating the love of Bieber’s life, Selena Gomez, reports US Weekly.


2.Days Before Bieber Put Her on Blast, She Posted a Video of Herself Listening to His Song ‘No Sense’.

It all began on December 7 when Bieber posted a photo of Kimberly saying “OMG who is this!” Eventually the comments came rolling in, with all agreeing that the girl in the photo was Cindy Kimberly, an apparent selfie junkie. Her profile description reads, “My name is Cindy and I get too excited about fictional related stuff.” Days before Bieber posted the photo, she put up a video showing her listening to the first few bars of his classic “No Sense.” In response to Bieber, Kimberly wrote on Instagram: “I so do not know how to deal with this.”



3.In November, She Was Involved in a Flirty Conversation With an Abercrombie Model.

On Facebook.On November 4, Kimberly posted a photo to her Facebook page showing her hugging Dutch male model Josel Scholz. According to his Facebook page, he’s a native of Amsterdam but now lives in London.
She began their conversation by quoting from the English-German romantic comedy Love, Rosie. That line read:
''It was no ordinary friendship. We were inseparable, constantly being separated. I’ve realized that no matter where you are or who you’re with, I will always truly, completely love you.''
From there, Scholz and Kimberly commented back-and-forth in an Italian flirt fest. The two spoke in Italian, as do most of her Facebook commenters. A November 5 photo showed Scholz and Kimberly kissing.

4. She Regularly Posts Photos of Portraits That Her Followers Do of Her.

When she’s not posting selfies to her Instagram page, Kimberly spends much of her time posting photos of the portraits that her followers do of her. She’s also posted some of her own self-portraits.


5. Bieber Was Linked to His Dancer Elysandra Quinones a Month Ago.

Photos emerged of Justin Bieber getting close with backup dancer Elysandra Quinones, 25, back in November. The Biebs was on tour in Europe at the time, with the photos of Bieber and Quinones being taken in a pub in London. Those pics first emerged on TMZ, with the site writing, “Justin Bieber has figured it out … when you’re young and rich, hookups beat relationships every time. Justin was hanging Wednesday at a pub in London with Elysandra Quinones, one of his backup dancers. It’s not hard to figure out the rest of the night.”




Best Celebrities of 2015

1. Models make a lot of money.
Between the yearly Forbes list of the world’s highest-paid uber-models and the huge amounts of money spent by designers at Fashion Week (a 2011 Marc Jacobs show was estimated to have cost $1 million), it would seem most models are swimming in cash. “We don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day,” model Linda Evangelista told Vogue in 1990. She probably didn’t — Evangelista’s career was marked by multimillion-dollar contracts.
But the median yearly wage for models in the United States, based on 2012 census data, is a mere $18,750, and fashion’s main event is unlikely to contribute much to that balance. Hundreds of relatively unknown models will fly to New York hoping to book a coveted spot in a runway show, which can pay $250 to $1,000, depending on the show and the model — a stipend that’s likely to cover what the model spent on travel and accommodations. Some Fashion Week hopefuls won’t walk in any shows,  and others will end up in the red, even after walking in several shows.


Compounding the problem: Some designers pay their models in clothes instead of cash. The trade is even worse than it seems; a model might receive clothing that’s damaged or several years old. I was once paid with a skirt with a broken zipper, which did little to help me make rent that month. But the exposure can be invaluable — international magazine editors sit in the front rows, and a few models might get booked for a designer’s campaign immediately after walking in a show. The runway can jumpstart a career but not a savings account. After my second year of runway work, walking for almost every major fashion house, I was $30,000 in debt.
2. Models are glorified clothes hangers.
Runway girls are often compared to “human coat hangers.” In other words: Models are just modes of transportation for garments. Even Twiggy used the phrase to dismiss her groundbreaking career, declaring when she retired: “You can’t be a clothes hanger for your entire life!”
But as long as there have been models, there have been muses. A model was the reason the painter picked up a brush, the sculptor a chisel. Just as not every actress is Meryl Streep, models are not all equally skilled or gifted. The best are translators, a visual representation of the story the designer wants to tell. Last year I published my first book, “Study of Pose,” an anthology of poses inspired by fashion history, art history and pop culture. I wanted to show that a model’s repertoire extends beyond duck-face selfies or blank runway stares. For the past 60 years, models such as Carmen Dell’Orefice, Evangelista and, more recently, Karlie Kloss have helped solidify modeling as an art form by collaborating with designers and photographers. Top photographer Mario Testino said of working with models with strong personalities: “I think that you can’t do it any other way. Because then the pictures are nothing.”
Are some models clothes hangers? Certainly, just as some singers can’t reach the high notes. But the best have always had the talent to make us feel something.
3. Models are catty with one another.
Decades of media coverage of “catwalk catfights” — the televised “drama” between Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell, the Elle Macpherson/Heidi Klum “rivalry,” a “feud” betweenChanel Iman and Jourdan Dunn, Carol Alt “slamming” Kate Upton — are enough to make anyone think that the modeling industry is rife with bad behavior and bad people.
Certainly some successful models are divas, and the field is competitive. But in my experience, the models who have endured for a decade or more are thoughtful, hardworking and humble. Most models start working at age 14 or 15 and go through a form of “fashion high school,” living in cramped close quarters. The sleepover-like atmosphere produces some squabbles, sure, but everyone grows up.
Models frequently collaborate on projects off the runway and are quick to help one another. In 2011, Caroline Trentini and the legendary Iman gave up a day’s work to pose in the campaign for my jewelry collection with the charity Senhoa, which supports victims of human trafficking in Cambodia. Recently supermodel Christy Turlington heard that I was pregnant and asked me to participate in a campaign for her charity, Every Mother Counts, which works to increase access to maternal care in the United States and abroad. Far from being catty, models care a great deal about one another and the world around us, even if our rivalries receive disproportionate attention.
4. You get to keep the clothes.
It’s a perennial feature of high- and low-brow publications: the “peek inside a model’s closet,” in which People offers a tour of Alyssa Miller’s wardrobe or the Coveteur photographs Carolyn Murphy’s belongings — glowing shots of Alexander Wang gowns and Prada treasures, some of them gifts from Miuccia Prada herself. It’s enough to make anyone think a model’s closet brims with fabulous frocks, taken from shoots or gifted from designers.
However, models almost never get to keep the clothes they wear on the runway. The garments are usually one-of-a-kind samples, created days or even hours before the show, that have to be immediately packed up and presented to international buyers. A model is more likely to be accused of stealing clothes (we’re always the first suspected) than to be given clothing after a show. When a pair of shoes from a show I walked in went missing, the designer’s team called my agency to see if I had “accidentally” taken off with them.
Once a model is established and starts being captured by paparazzi in her “street-style looks,” she might receive gifted items from designers, since that can mean publicity for the brand and the model. But the typical working model is far from that status.
5. Models don’t eat.
Eating disorders are real, and they do affect the modeling industry. In 2006, Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston died at age 21, weighing just 80 pounds. A former British model told the Telegraph in 2013, “My modeling career lasted for three years and ... I’ve had anorexia for eight.”
Sad as such cases are, in my 10 years of living and working with models around the world, I’ve seen that the majority are not resorting to extreme or unhealthy means to keep their physique — they are simply naturally thin. And the industry now has its own checks and balances: Vogue will not photograph models who appear to have eating disorders; catwalk models with a body mass index below a certain level are banned from runways in Italy and Spain.
Like many women outside the industry, models do watch their diets, but they enjoy food as much as anyone. Take a look at Chrissy Teigen’s food-centric blog. When I go to events and finish my plate, people often comment about how “amazed” they are that I eat, as if I could live, work and keep up a crazy schedule traveling the world on zero calories a day.
At various points in my career, I’ve been called  too thin and too fat, so I will eat that hamburger, thanks.





Countries Evolution

Human beings, as we know them, developed from earlier species of animals: true or false? This simple question is splitting America apart, with a growing proportion thinking that we did not descend from an ancestral ape. A survey of 32 European countries, the US and Japan has revealed that only Turkey is less willing than the US to accept evolution as fact.
Religious fundamentalism, bitter partisan politics and poor science education have all contributed to this denial of evolution in the US, says Jon Miller of Michigan State University in East Lansing, who conducted the survey with his colleagues. “The US is the only country in which [the teaching of evolution] has been politicised,” he says. “Republicans have clearly adopted this as one of their wedge issues. In most of the world, this is a non-issue.”

Miller’s report makes for grim reading for adherents of evolutionary theory. Even though the average American has more years of education than when Miller began his surveys 20 years ago, the percentage of people in the country who accept the idea of evolution has declined from 45 in 1985 to 40 in 2005 (Science, vol 313, p 765). That’s despite a series of widely publicised advances in genetics, including genetic sequencing, which shows strong overlap of the human genome with those of chimpanzees and mice. “We don’t seem to be going in the right direction,” Miller says.
There is some cause for hope. Team member Eugenie Scott of the National Center for Science Education in Oakland, California, finds solace in the finding that the percentage of adults overtly rejecting evolution has dropped from 48 to 39 in the same time. Meanwhile the fraction of Americans unsure about evolution has soared, from 7 per cent in 1985 to 21 per cent last year. “That is a group of people that can be reached,” says Scott.
The main opposition to evolution comes from fundamentalist Christians, who are much more abundant in the US than in Europe. While Catholics, European Protestants and so-called mainstream US Protestants consider the biblical account of creation as a metaphor, fundamentalists take the Bible literally, leading them to believe that the Earth and humans were created only 6000 years ago.
Ironically, the separation of church and state laid down in the US constitution contributes to the tension. In Catholic schools, both evolution and the strict biblical version of human beginnings can be taught. A court ban on teaching creationism in public schools, however, means pupils can only be taught evolution, which angers fundamentalists, and triggers local battles over evolution.
These battles can take place because the US lacks a national curriculum of the sort common in European countries. However, the Bush administration’s No Child Left Behind act is instituting standards for science teaching, and the battles of what they should be has now spread to the state level.
