Bar Refaeli poses topless

Israeli model Bar Refaeli has posed topless for a war-themed magazine photoshoot, seven years after she managed to dodge the national service in her home country.

In the photoshoot for the May issue of GQ Italia, Refaeli, 25, posed in nothing but a helmet and shorts, the Daily Mail reported.

The inside pages showed the model striking a series of other sultry poses, using an ammunition belt for a prop.

In Israel, military service is a must for both men and women once they turn 18, but Refaeli managed to avoid doing a three-year spell by marrying an acquaintance.

In the interview with GQ, Refaeli has only positive things to say, wishing her homeland "peace and prosperity".

She even tweeted the pictures, clearly being more comfortable taking the military concept to the front pages - rather than the front line

Tyra Banks launches personalised fashion website

London, Mar 12 – Retired model-turned-brand leader Tyra Banks has launched a new website for women that will help style members who sign up by giving them tips and makeover advice based on their own body type.

The entrepreneur’s TypeF.com site is aimed at celebrating the individuality of women.

“With a lot of magazines, it tells you exactly what you’re supposed to look like and if you don’t look like this… you’re a loser, you’re not good enough,” the Daily Star quoted Banks as announcing on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ on Thursday (10Mar11).

“I have to admit I was a model for many years and modelled in the magazines that promoted that image.

“What TypeF does is it says, ‘You are beautiful and you are you… Women in our individuality is what is beautiful.’

The site is all about personalisation. If you go on and you log in… and say, ‘I have a short, blonde pixie cut, I have my piercing blue eyes, I have an oval-shaped face, I am 5′ 8″…’ You type all of this stuff in and when you continue to come back to the site, we deliver stuff for you, exactly for your type.” (ANI)
