Kate Moss Poses Nude for Brazilian Vogue

Going for gold: Kate Moss poses nude for Mario Testino in the May issue of Brazilian Vogue magazine

She may be 37-years-old, but Kate Moss can clearly still do a smouldering magazine cover as well as a model half her age. And she's got the body to prove it.
The British model looks stunning as she poses nude for the May issue of Brazilian Vogue, wearing nothing but a pair of gold cuff bracelets, and showing off a pair of tiny tattoos above her derrière.
With her hair a shade of honey blonde and her eyes rimmed with black eyeliner, the sizzling [picture was taken by renowned photographer Mario Testino.
The photograph, along with inside images, were taken in the city of Sao Paolo to mark the magazine's 36th anniversary. Kate recently told Vogue U.K that she shot 60 pages for the magazine while in the South American country with her eight-year-old daughter Lila.
'It was a lot,' she told the magazine. 'I had Lila with me and I thought it would be more of a holiday.
'Mario usually finishes quite early, but not this time.'
The model is clearly still in demand for glossy magazine shoots, appearing on the covers of both Vogue Paris and Vogue Japan in May. It looks like it is going to be a busy few months for the model who is tying the knot with her boyfriend, Kills rocker Jamie Hince this summer.
The couple are said to be planning to wed on July 2 at an undisclosed location, but sources have claimed it will be near her £2million Cotswolds home.

Mariah Carey Poses for Nude Cover Shoot


Fit to burst: Mariah Carey proudly shows off her pregnant body as she waits to give birth to twin babies

Mariah Carey has posed for her fair share of portraits. But none has been as personal or emotional as the singing legend unveiling her baby bump - days away from giving birth to twins.
Eight months pregnant Mariah, 42, proudly showed off the bump in time-honoured celebrity fashion - in an exclusive cover shoot with a magazine. Bronzed, radiant, with her hair tumbling softly about her shoulders, the chart-topping singer looked relaxed as she awaits the arrival of her first children, a boy and a girl.
'I was feeling very vulnerable about taking pictures at all right now, but then I didn’t want to miss this opportunity to document this once-in-a-lifetime experience,' Carey told Life & Style magazine
'My ultimate goal was to share this incredibly personal moment with my true fans.'
Carey joins a number of pregnant stars who have posed nude while heavily pregnant. Demi Moore famously appeared naked on the cover of Vanity Fair in August 1991 while seven months pregnant with daughter Scout LaRue.
Many have copied that pose, including Christina Aguilera, who was pictured pregnant with son Max on the January 2008 cover of Marie Claire. Carey's twins - a boy and a girl - were clearly ready for their close-ups. She said: 'The babies were kicking almost the entire time; it was unbelievable.
'Especially the girl - clearly she’s a diva in training. We didn’t start shooting until 1:30am because I was in the hospital from the night before until the day of the shoot with contractions five minutes apart!'
Clearly, although Carey isn't due to give birth for a few weeks, the twins could be making their entrance sooner rather than later.
The We Belong together singer suffered a scare when she was admitted to hospital last month with early contractions. But for now, she and her husband Nick Cannon are enjoying their last few days as a household of two.
Cannon said he has never been more attracted to his wife. 'I thought I couldn’t love Mariah more,” he tells Life & Style.
'But I have a whole new appreciation and admiration for her.'
However, yesterday he admitted he may come to regret stripping off for a photo shoot with his heavily pregnant wife.
The TV and radio presenter, 30, has confessed that he is already regretting the artistic photos which are due to be displayed on the walls of their family home.
'My children are going to have to see these pictures. It's a little weird,' he said during his Rollin' with Nick Cannon radio show.
'It's a little nasty,' he continued. 'I mean, have you ever seen your parents naked?
'When they get older and their friends come over... they will see the pictures and say, "Your daddy's butt naked".'
Carey added: 'Now I have so much respect for mothers everywhere, especially those who’ve had difficult pregnancies or given birth to multiples. We need to have Mother’s Day once a week.'

Meaningful wedding gifts that can fascinate your buddies and parents!

Wedding ceremony is a big and grand event which has every luxurious aspect associated with it including wedding party gifts. Wedding gifts are common practice in any wedding, but choosing the right gift for your buddies is the most essential aspect. In many cases, the bride and groom go together to shop for the wedding party gifts.

The choice of gift actually depends on the relationship your share with the receiver. There are different intensities of friendship - some are very close, some are just good friends and some are like family. So, choosing the appropriate gift is slightly difficult and time taking too. Usually, the girls prefer to give some useful items like jewelry, bags or cosmetic items. But there are many other options which are more meaningful and emotional like a note of feelings in your own words with a beautiful bouquet, a picture frame with your friend in your most enjoyable moments.

Of course, there are many suitable wedding party gifts apart from these, but the selection entirely depends on the bride and groom and what types of gifts they can afford to give. For people who can afford big bucks can easily look for expensive yet meaningful gifts. Problem is with people who want to show their appreciation but have a budget constraint. There are plenty of great gifts that don't cost a lot, allowing you to give a great impression without affecting your budget.

You need to be little thoughtful and creative in planning your wedding party gift’s list. Firstly, both you and your partner should sit together and make a comprehensive list of your friends in order of your relationship intensity and then start listing the possible gift items corresponding to each person. After completing the list, check out the expenses occurring and what you have budgeted for the wedding gifts. Often we go wrong as we are not considerate enough at the time of our wedding planning. So, be very careful with your wedding planning and budgeting.

Remember, you have your parents too - add the parents wedding gifts as well!

Your friends, now acting as your bridesmaid, must have done a lot for you, not only as a part of your wedding party but also as a friend and guide over the years.

How to begin that is a major issue? Isn’t so? Of course gifting your friend with a meaningful and thoughtful gift is the best idea to start with. Multiple bridesmaid gifts are available in the market which are so well decorated and presented that the receiver would get mesmerized completely. Surely, your friend would give a big hug after seeing the gift.

Start by presenting your bridesmaids with some heartfelt gifts like a beautiful card expressing your true feelings in your own words; gift her valuable item which she loves to use like bridesmaid jewelry, bags, cosmetics, dresses or books. But before finalizing the gift, you need to decide your budget. Consider your budget and the amount that each bridesmaid must spend to be in your wedding to fulfill your demands. Generally, spending $50-$150 each is a decent amount, rest all depends on your pocket.

After deciding for the budget and finalizing the bridesmaid gifts, next major thing is when to gift. It is very important to find a right occasion to present the gifts to your bridesmaids. Usually, people plan a get-together with friends where they give gifts. Many brides give them during the bridesmaid’s luncheon or tea, which is again a good time to express your gratitude to your bridesmaids. During a wedding there are many such events, which one to choose depends on your convenience and their availability.

Whatever you gift, whenever you gift, you need to be satisfied and the receiver should be happy. So, pay proper attention to your choice of gift and the person you are presenting that. Never generalize the gifts as each of them is special, so treat them like one.
