Great minds of our times

Economist, business woman, and Che Guevara bikini sporting supermodel Gisele Bundchen, via WSJ (HT: Michelle Malkin):

Gisele Bundchen. The Brazilian supermodel is reportedly now insisting that she be paid in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. “Contracts starting now are more attractive in euros because we don’t know what will happen to the dollar,” the model’s twin sister and manager in Brazil, Patricia Bundchen, told Bloomberg recently. The ubiquitous runway diva even demanded payment in euros when she signed a contract in August to promote Pantene hair products for Procter & Gamble Co., according to a Brazil magazine. Think about that one: She’s willing to sell a U.S. product, but she won’t accept payment in U.S. currency.

The way things are going, she’ll probably win the Nobel Prize in Economics next year.

    Social moralist too.

    Even the Beautiful People are badmouthing the dollar. The talking-head financial media see no end to the decline. Contrarian indicators?

    Economics? Well, why not…she’s already a good bet for the Physiology prize, possibly for the Physics award (some remarkable properties of matter there) and from a personal viewpoint I’d vote her the Chemistry prize too. :)

    If she’d just publicly wish for peace in Palestine and write a little piece on the mammalian, sorry, human condition she’s up for the Grand Slam.
