A year or so ago, I found myself in an office in Midtown, waiting to have a quick meeting with Adriana Lima. It was right before the Victoria’s Secret fashion show and the Brazilian bombshell was in the midst of trying on outfits she’d be donning for the famous annual spectacle. Outfit number two was a stringy number that clung to her bronzed body for dear life. I’ve seen more fabric in a handkerchief. Around the studio, thirty-some odd workers milled about, each working in frenzied unison to tweak her ensemble to perfection.

The supermodel got to her final look, which included her Angel wings (pictured here), and after a few quick adjustments, the fitting was over. Lima disappeared behind a wall in the back of the studio to change back into her street clothes before we sat down together. I settled into a couch and thumbed through some materials in preparation when her handler approached. Lima was very late to another appointment downtown and they still had to do a few fittings for an upcoming bathing suit photoshoot, so would it be possible for us to conduct the meeting over the wall, since Lima would be stripping naked in between the outfits?

I declined, saying that face-to-face interactions were preferred and offered to reschedule, but that wasn’t an option for her. More handlers approached and ventured suggestions to remedy the dilemma. “What if we put you in a chair with your back to her?” “What if you just stood facing away from her?” None were really conducive to her full attention, which meant it would be a rather pointless endeavor. Then Lima stepped out from behind the wall.
