Along with models Hana Soukupova and Angela Lindvall, Bella and I got a chance to catch up with Brazilian beauty Isabeli Fontana at the 12th Annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

The blue-eyed bombshell, born July 4, 1983, made it to the finals of the Elite Model Look Contest at the age of 13 in Brazil. The following year, she moved to Milan and that's where her modeling career took off. Soon after, Isabeli appeared in a Victoria's Secret lingerie catalog at a mere 16, though the company's policy stated that it wouldn't hire models under 21-years-old. Controversy proved beneficial for the mother of two as she's still modeling for VS as well as for other majors like Versace, Valentino, and Ralph Lauren.

What is your preferred style of panty?
I feel sexy in thongs, the less coverage the sexier. I really like lace.

What do you want for Christmas?
I will think big: I would love to have a contract!

You feel the sexiest when...
I feel sexiest when I have very nice clothes on, like a long elegant dress.

    I also think it's a tad creepy to have a 16 yr old modeling lingerie like VS.

    So many of the VS girls have children. That's some good genes and hardwork I'm sure. She is very pretty.

    16? Ew.

    2 kids at 25? Wow. Yet another mother who looks far better than I do - and I don't have any kids!

    Lala, I love that you are so informed and educated about models!! Smiling I love hearing what you have to say because I know that you're very researched.

    I say KUDOS to Isabeli for being such a hard-working woman (I cannot imagine the fashion/model world... I'm sure it is very intense) while striving be a great mother. Plus - she of course looks FABULOUS here! Very beautiful, indeed.

    It seems to be a big "trend", a term I use very loosely for lack of a better word really, for younger models to have children, often times more than one.

    I wonder why that is. You would think that since being a model is all about the body image, they would fear being pregnant. Just my thought of the day!

    So the company broke their policy rule and let her model lingerie when she was under 21?

    I'm relieved that she's older now. On another note, she looks amazing for a mother of two.

    Wow, I didn't even want kids at 24. It's too bad I felt that way, though, because I'm having a very hard time getting pregnant now. Oh well!

    She is very pretty. Those Brazilians know how to strut their stuff!

    Not all of VS is super sexy lingerie so posing for them at 16 really isnt a big deal. Also there are plenty of 16 year old models who probably pose in less. Also the models of week are VS models because Fab and Bella went to the VS show

    I like Brazilian models because they are slim but always look healthy

    She's gorgeous. I love her photoshoots.

    Alot of you are saying that's pretty surprising that she's only 25 and has two kids. There's nothing wrong with that. And besides 25 is the right time to have kids. (to me anyway).

    I read this again & realized I had missed "mother of two"...
    Wow, that's incredible. Her body is fierce too, why can't I get that kind of determination? UGH! Go Isabeli!
