MODEL.....Gisele
Bundchen has launched a search to find a model from some of the poorest areas
in her native Brazil.
THE SUPERMODEL was in the
South American country to promote Top CUFA (Central Unica das Favelas, or
Central Union of Slums), which will focus on finding model talent from Brazil's
most underprivileged areas.
The contest - which aims
''to boost slum dwellers' self-esteem'' - will narrow down applicants to one
finalist from each of Brazil's 27 states, before crowning one girl the Top
CUFA.
Gisele - who is reported to
be pregnant with her second child - said at the launch: ''I feel privileged to
be the sponsor of this project.''
She also revealed that she
was turned down 42 times as she attempted to make it as a model, adding: ''I
was finally taken on the 43rd try!''
The winner will receive a
year's worth of Pantene hair products - a brand for which Gisele is spokesmodel
in Brazil - a year-long modelling contract, and the crown that Gisele won at
her first Rio Carnival.
