Yesterday I heard that the young guy who decorates Oprah's viewers homes survived the tsunami but his friend is missing.

There might be pieces of bone stuck to my organs

I wonder if that is hers or the doctors diagnosis?

40,000 Asian deaths pale in comparison to a Supermodel with a broken hip?

Another thing:

somewhere near the exotic island of Phuket.

Ok, wots up with that name? Was it invented by some junior high boys or wot?

A little too skinny for my taste, but I'd hit it.

This story does really impress me for some reason. One of the most beautiful women in the world clinging for her life on a tree during what was supposed to be a calm, wonderful vacation. Losing her boyfriend, the man who captured her beauty for the world.

What better example can you find for the impermanence of beauty and the fragility of life?

Sad. Life is full of ironies. This lady is lucky to be alive even with all of the tragedy that surrounded her. She sure won't be a spoiled brat like other supermodels after something like this happens to one.

I've got good news and I've got bad news.

First, the bad news: Sounds like she got roughed up pretty badly.

Now the good news: Once she heals up...she's available.

You know... I've been thinking about this, but more so, the responses to the article.

I think that an article like this is important. What I mean is that it gives us a (somewhat) familiar name and face to go along with the tradgedy. It can make it a bit more human.

Let's face it, when you hear the numbers (the other morning, it was 5,000, then 20,000, now 40,000) they're just staggering. Be mentioning Miss Nemcova, it sort of hits home that here's a person we know who was caught up in this.

The fact that she's a celebrity seems to bring out a bit of salaciousness in the magainze, but it also brings out some nastiness in the people posting here too.

This is one of the greatest natural disasters we've seen in the modern world. It would be nice if people could hold their bile against a survivor who happens to be a "supermodel."

this appears like a story for New York about one of their models who lives there....I assume London is talking about Atlee.

i don't think it has anything to do with race or ethnicity or "brown people" or "impoverished people".

there were plenty of tourists as well who died in these resort coastal areas who were not brown or impoverished.

my family fears a wealthy gem dealer we know in Sri Lanka whose office was built right on the SW coast on a pier may be one of them.

there are many facets to this tragedy.

the children's plight is of course without a doubt the worst but celebrities do get noticed.

if it were Tyra Banks or Naomi Campbell, they would get the same notice...maybe more since they are slightly higher up the name-recognition chain.

why so many freepers must always take a sanctimonious self righteous morally superior posture over any slight instance that may involve one speck of the issue of race is ridiculous to me. they sound like pandering Dems.

If this is the future of conservatism, then we are screwed. Race, Race, Race, Race, Race......I feel good about myself...Validate me....Please....I feel yer race...it's my fault...blah, blah, blah, schmlah.

The left has won on this one.

what I find the biggest story is that in some cases, we knew around the world for 2-5 hours that this quake had occured and no warnings were issued for tsunamis which were likely inevitable.


maybe some geo-astute here can enlighten me.
