Bar Refaeli wears merely a white bikini bottom and some body paint on the July 2009 cover of Esquire. Here’s what the 23-year-old supermodel opened up to the mag about:
On her ambitions: “Heidi Klum. I really like what she’s doing. It’s what I picture myself as.”
On having part of a Stephen King story written on her body for the cover: “I haven’t seen anything like that ever. So I wanted to be the girl who did it.”
On her childhood on the Israeli coast: “I walked along dirt roads and picked oranges and played with dogs and rabbits and chickens and horses.”
