/Gisele Bundchen returns as the face of Brazilian brand Arezzo’s winter 2024 campaign called ‘Dream On’. The uber-supermodel finds herself again in an aquarium, but this one is without water.
In this delicious new Arezzo campaign, lensed by Lufre [IG], Gisele reminds us that barriers are sometimes transparent — bigger in our minds than they are in reality. And while we reference an aquarium, there are no breathing bubbles in the water. No one will drown.
In stepping into a prism of new light in our ever-changing, modern world, it’s often our very selves who put the dead weights around our ankles, when we can drift upwards into the light, if only we permit ourselves to fly.

/Vogue Brasil calls Gisele the only übermodel, activist for environmental causes.
In her interview with EIC Maria Laura Neves IG], Gisele expresses her own view of her success: “I believe that it has a lot to do with my personality and the choices I’ve made. I was faithful to my values and my essence, always giving my best. I took the profession seriously and I was always very professional.”
“I am naturally more reserved and ended up choosing projects that I deemed more meaningful for me to showcase myself. Perhaps this has contributed to the longevity in a career that is typically so fleeting.”
AOC adds that like so many young models today, Gisele suffered from extreme anxiety, although she didn’t talk about it endlessly. The mother of Benjamin, 13, and Vivian, 10, has spoken for decades about the importance of mental health and her healthy-food, yoga-filled and martial arts, gratitude-to-the-universe lifestyle for decades now.

/AOC is ALWAYS on the hunt for new information and research. Preparing to post Gisele’s new ad campaign shot by LUFRÉ [IG], I did a ‘wow’ over his Winter 23 campaign for Santa Lolla. We always review the photographer’s recent work before any post, to see what we’ve missed.
AOC is on the record stating that the world of psilocybin will again impact our creativity and way of looking at images — as long as both political parties agree about the benefits of psilocybin.
‘Ubuntu Brains’
The brains of psilocybin users — and I am one of them — are attached to much more expansive and universal values. We have a shared view of our universal human connections — the ubuntu vision that ‘I am because of who we all are’ or ‘We are all in this together’. I will share this medical info in much greater detail shortly, but this article in Body will get you started.
This evolving human vision existed for 10,000-25,000 years before so-called advanced-civilization people roamed the world looking to remold us into them. You know what I’m talkin’ ‘bout. Read on at top of article link.

Vogue Portugal April 2022 Speaks to Our Shared Humanity in Lufre's Cover Story
/Vogue Portugal April 2022 Speaks to Our Shared Humanity in Lufre's Cover Story AOC Fashion
Brazilian photographer Lufre [IG] shoots Vogue Portugal’s April 2022 cover story ‘Same, same, but different’, styled by Alexandre Dornellas.

Coincidentally, the yellow and aqua blue colors of the cover are the colors of Ukraine, and the magazine stresses this connection. The human suffering we are witnessing in Putin’s goal to level Ukraine and destroy everything in sight — its people, its babies, its economy, its heritage — takes us deep into the terrifying, deadly and destructive themes of humanity.
It’s the role of the warrior goddesses to stand against this global destructive impulse. Whether the impulse is more male than female is not subject to debate in my world. The global institutions — and especially religious institutions — do not agree with me.
In fact, the alleged irrational, hysterical, women running wild without male supervision and wisdom is the most universal theme of modern civilization.
