                              Lima took a short break from modeling to have her 
                              first child and has come back in a explosive way. 
                              Her return has been very busy with photo shoots 
                              and working on ad campaigns.
                            Since 
                              her small time off her fans had been eagerly waiting 
                              her return. Never have we receive so many emails, 
                              tweets, and questions asking 
                              about a supermodel as much as we had Adriana Lima. 
                              She has a extremely large fan base.
                            The 
                              return launch started with a small video tease on 
                              her Facebook page with Lima letting her fans know 
                              that she was back. Then shortly after she made internet 
                              history with the first ever live photo shoot that 
                              was shoot by fame Victoria's Secret photographer 
                              Russell James.

                              Lima's story takes place as a young girl from Salvador, 
                              Bahia, Brazil that like many supermodels she never 
                              considered becoming a model. In her teens she entered 
                              and finished in first place in Ford's "Supermodel 
                              of Brazil" model search. Then a year later she placed 
                              2nd in Ford "Supermodel of the World" contest.
                            Adriana's 
                              exotic Brazilian looks and perfect modeling frame 
                              started to get notice in the modeling world. Three 
                              years after having place so close to winning Supermodel 
                              of the World, Adriana at the young age of 16 moved 
                              to New York city and signed with the prestigious 
                              Elite Model Management agency.
                            Her 
                              modeling popularity was soon beginning to take off 
                              as many designers wanted the Brazilian beauty look 
                              in their cloths and ads.
                            She 
                              starting landing modeling jobs for several designers 
                              but it was her eye catching high contrast ad campaigns 
                              for Guess that made her stand out. The Guess ads 
                              showed that supermodel flare to her look that also 
                              help launch Claudia Schiffer's career back when 
                              she modeled for Guess. In 2000 she became a Guess 
                              Girl and appeared in the book A Second Decade 
                              of Guess?
                            Adriana 
                              then went on to become the it-girl model that all 
                              designers wanted on their runway shows. She was 
                              soon walking the catwalk for all the great designers 
                              such as Giorgio Armani, Valentino, Vera Wang, Christian 
                              Lacroix, Fendi, and Ralph Lauren.
                            With 
                              the face of angel she was also in high demand as 
                              a cosmetics model and in 2003 she became a Maybelline 
                              spokes model. Her campaigns and editorial work continued 
                              to land her jobs with brands such and Vesace, Mossimo, 
                              and bebe just to name a few.
                            From 
                              catwalks to covers Adriana Lima started to appear 
                              on every major fashion magazine cover from Vogue 
                              to GQ. Lima 
                              started a rise in the supermodel popularity again 
                              that was some what missing after the 80's supermodel 
                              era.
