The photoshoot was so obviously staged that one has to wonder at the kind of PR advice that the model is getting. In the recent weeks Gisele Bundchen has been in the news for all the wrong reasons as she first of all sent a rather sanctimonious email to a close group of friends and family urging them to pray for her husband Tom Brady during the Super Bowl tournament. When his side lost, she managed to compound the hurt by suggesting in rather vulgar terms that the rest of the team was not helping her husband and that is why they lost. This is very bad form and someone in the sports fraternity told her to shut up and look cute.
Moving on to meditation after a disastrous PR period
Many will be puzzled as to why the model felt that she had to share an image of herself meditating on the beach and in a bikini that was obviously designed to titillate. The tropical escape should have been an opportunity for Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady to take a break from the stressful events of the last few days. Instead it has turned into an exercise in media manipulation and shallow objectives. Why is it that this young lady never seems to learn from her previous mistakes? In any case she is likely to get a ferocious response from the sporting fraternity who feel that she has no business getting involved.
The sweetest moment of the holiday was probably her two-year son Benjamin who seemed to enjoy the break in Costa Rica. The family spent Friday in the sun and they even invited a group of friends to keep them company. Fashion experts may be wondering at the choice of a zebra print bikini for someone that is allegedly meditating. The most cynical view is that she was far from meditation at the time.
