Victoria's Secret model speaks out

Adriana Lima is a great lingerie model and a mom of one, and juggling the two things isn't easy. She might be a supermodel, but she swears it's not a cakewalk. V.S. models dress up and look pretty, but they have to work hard at looking good.

"I'm very proud of it because I work very hard," she said at the What is Sexy? National Bombshell Summer Tour launch party. "There are a lot of sacrifices involved."

"We work over 12 hours sometimes. We travel a lot and yes we do go to beautiful places but we don't get time to look around because we're working all day. It's not easy! Every day you wake up, taking care of your family, working, it's not easy. Do you know what? I'm proud!"

I'm surprised at how thick Adriana Lima's accent is... it makes me feel good. Adriana might have made $8 million in 2010, but she still doesn't speak English perfectly. I'm not perfect in my foreign language skills, either, and hearing someone so rich with a thick accent makes me feel better.

I guess since Adriana Lima's on this kind of role, we'll be seeing much more of her this year and next. It must be scary to be an almost-30-year-old model, though, with all the hot young things cropping up all the time.
