Model Heidi Klum has been the rather quiet face of Astor for a couple of years, but she’s pretty much guaranteed that you’ll never forget about this gig now.

To celebrate its 60th birthday, the cosmetics company has released an ad featuring a nude Heidi covered in ribbons of colorful body paint.  (We like this a lot more than her freaky skinned corpse body paint this past Halloween!)

She revealed the photo and blogged about her experience of creating it with makeup artist Joanne Gair:

It took 12 hours for Joanne to complete my look, but this actually wasn’t the first time she has painted me from head to toe. This was probably close to the 13^th time I’ve been body painted by her, so I’m used to getting it done–the process takes awhile, so you have to be good at being patient! I don’t mind sitting still for such a long time though, it’s a living piece of art that I’m so honored to be a part of.

However, I get so sad when the shoot is over because the beautiful paint all gets washed down the drain!

Model Amber Rose is the tattoo community’s darling for November 2011.  She shows off her numerous tattoos for two magazines this month:  Inked and Urban Ink.

I must confess that I am really surprised at how pretty Amber is  in her Inked shoot.   She always looks incredibly trashy to me, or maybe that was just the result of dating Kanye West, but regardless, photographer Sarah McColgan did a really nice job.

Inked‘s Twitter followers “interviewed” Amber for the feature.  She reveals that she got her first tattoo when she was just 15, and says that her current honey, Wiz Khalifa, is her “best friend.”

Keep reading for more photos and excerpts from the article, as well as Amber’s Urban Ink cover.

Miranda Kerr is one hot mama, and she doesn’t want us to forget it!  On the heels of her body-baring bikini catwalk for David Jones, the model has nabbed the cover shoot for November 2011 Harper’s Bazaar Australia.

Miranda was photographed by Simon Lekias and styled by Jillian Davison in “clashed colors and prints,” and there’s a lot to take in.    When you do get to the relatively stark, but lush, photo of a naked Miranda lounging on a bed with the newspaper, it’s actually a nice visual vacation.  (In more ways than one.)   She did just have a baby, right?  Sigh.

Catch these beautiful pictures after the jump.

Some of Lara Stone‘s best modeling work has been very minimalistic, and that’s because you just don’t need to do a whole lot to make this buxom blonde look good.  Witness:  her recent photoshoot for GQ.  It’s just Lara, a fur coat, and the beach, and really, what more do you need?  (To be honest, I have a huge problem with fur, but it does make for rather striking photos.)   Perhaps a few shots of her ample cleavage and bare bottom?  Done.

Lara, who is 27 years old,  tells the men’s rag that on occasion she tires of the comparisons to other models who are sometimes as much as 10 years her junior.  She also admits that the comments about her unconventional looks do get to her on occasion.

“It hurts when you’re having a tough day and someone says, ‘She’s so f***ing ugly I wouldn’t let my dog near her.’ “

Well, we’ve got no problem with Lara’s looks and we’re sure you won’t either after you see the rest of the photos.  Click through to take a look!  While you’re there, don’t forget to check out a video of her shoot.  You won’t be sorry.

With a nod to the mod, Bar Refaeli shows off her killer bod in Agua Bendita Swimwear 2011 ad campaign.

The Israeli born model sports teased hair, fabric headbands and triangle bikinis with patterned prints that give her just a hint of the past mixed with the sleek and skimpy modern cuts.

Refaeli posed perfectly for the series of sexy shots showcasing the brand’s swimwear. The 26 year-old model explained that she has spent time deciphering her own photos to be able to strike that perfect stance each time.

“I’ve learned how to do this. I study all of my pictures. Which turn of the hip is sexier, which toe to curl or leg to straighten. I know every bone,” she said.

Check out Bar’s bikini curves below.  (Read the article)

Spanish footwear company Xti knows that sex sells, and they’ve got it in spades with their Fall/Winter 2011 campaign.  Models Irina Shayk and Arthur Sales star in a series of ads that promise to melt the binding off any publication in which they appear this fall.   The shoes are pretty great, but who even notices them with a shirtless Arthur and Irina wearing nothing but her underpants in the frame?
