Adriana Lima poses Pregnant in Pirelli Calendar

Well there are certainly firsts for everything, even for models and calendars!  

A new year is approaching, which means new resolutions, diets, parties, and the 2013 Pirelli calendar.  But this year will be different... a little more covered up than usual.

Best known for its tasteful images of iconic models in the nude, the exclusive Pirelli calendar has taken a turn, and features its first ever clothed models, and a pregnant one to boot!

The breathtaking Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima posed for photographer Steve McCurry in May while she was around 5 months preggy, as we can all clearly see.  Shot in Rio, the Brazilian born beauty was quite at home, as McCurry shot her "clothed as she came," with his desire to capture models in a more natural state, rather than planned and posed.

McCurry set out to create a "calendar of the soul" this time around, delivering a nude free edition that focuses on daily life in Brazil and the models known charity work.

Well, however he chooses to shoot Adriana, we think the snaps are lovely.  What do you think?

Anna Nicole Smith's Daughter Models for Guess

You know what they say, "like mother like daughter."  In this case, it's a little surreal, and a whole lot of sweet and touching.

Do you remember seeing images splashed around from the late, beautiful Anna Nicole Smith from her days as an iconic Guess clothing model?  The shots were actually taken in the 90s, but they've followed Anna's life and career onward as some of her loveliest work.

And now daughter Dannielynn Birkhead is following in her mother's high heeled footsteps, as the latest Guess Kids fresh face for their 2013 spring ad campaign.

The adorable, and almost "grown up beyond her years" images were just released and we're gasping at how beautiful she is, and what a mirror image she is of her mother.  

The photos were shot in Malibu by Elliston Lutz and the 6-year-old (yes, 6!) looks beautiful in laid back denim and tousled hair. 

This marks the brand's first ever second-generation Guess girl.  

So what do you think of Dannielynn's new role as a model?

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 Photos!

While you may still have to wait to see the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 on TV December 4th, we've got the highlight photos for you to check out!

We're not sure what's hotter... the fashion, the 42 models, the performers, or the wings!  But when you put them all together, you have one unforgettable Angel experience!

Massive and ellaborate, the looks spanned all sides of the fun fashion spectrum, from ringmaster-inspired circus pieces, to Angels in Bloom garden looks, to the Angeles of the silver screen.  The wings were even more glorious and creative than I've seen in shows past, and it appears the Angels legs grew even longer!  Sheesh!

Oh!  And let's not forget that $2.5 Million Bra hand crafted by London Jewelers!  Here it is on the lovely Alesandro Ambrosio (below) who was paired with giant orcid wings!

Throw in a delicious dose of Justin Bieber, Rihanna, and Bruno Mars into the mix, and things are really hot!  

Enjoy the photos, and you can watch the show December 4th on CBS.
