Today, I thought I would write about a lingerie model so after pondering on whom to feature, I thought that for a change, I would write about a model who is not currently with Victoria's Secret. And Petra Nemcova pops into mind. If you read my other blogs, you will notice that I am quite a fan of La Senza. Well, Petra Nemcova was named the face and body of La Senza in October, 2007, replacing Gemma Atkinson.

One thing that amazes me is that Petra was a victim of the 2004 tsunami which struck South East Asia. Coming from Malaysia, I do know how devastated the whole area was because of the tsunami and how many people lost their lives or their loved ones because of the freaking weather.

Petra was in Thailand with her boyfriend and photographer, Simon Atlee, when disaster struck. Petra survived the ordeal, hanging on to a palm tree for eight long hours. Her boyfriend, Simon Atlee was drowned and his body was only found two months later.

While some people think that this ordeal should not have propelled her to super model status, I think that with or without this episode, Petra Nemcova would be a world renown model. This just made her stronger. And because of this, Petra has started a children's charitable fund.

Petra Nemcova has written a book about her survival from the 2004 tsunami. You can check it out from her official personal website.

I think I won't be writing more as you can read all about her from Petra Nemcova homepage and her MySpace page so let's just let the photos do the talking.
