Gisele Bundchen is shifting her focus from booty to bunions. OK, that didn’t come out sounding quite as literary as I was hoping it would. What I’m clumsily trying to express is that the Victoria’s Secret angel is launching her Ipanema shoe collection for the Australian shoe company Novo Shoes. The line will feature a series of sandals and thongs, in keeping with the model’s sun-kissed, beach-friendly persona. Here she is, kicking off her heels and showing off her sexy model feet in Melbourne the other night to an adoring crowd. In response to the cheers, she said:

“I feel like the president here.”

I love that because if you look at that first little thumbnail to the left here, you can see an exuberant Gisele raising up her shoes triumphantly while the citizens of her bizarre country walk around and appear to consist solely of women in gold lame bikinis and serious guys in business suits.
