As you can see that, she was obviously presented in a very sexy appearance and very seductive posture for men and car magazines. Her first impression for the public audience is SEXY, "HOT", and maybe COOL?. She gives me a feeling that she has the power that lead her followers/supporters to fully support her and to "die" for . So, is her role inside those men's magazine is to become some kind of sexual obsession for the audience? or Is she playing the role as a playmate? What is her real identity in the reality?
After I had done my analysis on photo albums in her Facebook page, I found that her model private life is like an intersection between her jobs and daily life activities. Most of the albums are related to modeling, magazine cover shoot, travel, events, and self-shoot. She travels a lot, but most of the time is to accomplish her photo shooting job overseas. Although it is not a photo shooting for the job, it is just like a random photo, she will automatically posed her figure that what she will normally do for her job. Besides that, the way that she dress up is slightly represented it is related to her job as a model. Super low cut design singlet, bikini, super short pants, corset, mini dress, etc is what she wear for photo shooting. I believe that, she was already get used to this kind of fashion and she applied on her everyday apparel.
In addition, her plastic surgery features has become a gaze for the audience (it is as same as the photoshop that usually used by photographer to touch up models' photos before published )
