Gisele Bundchen, the world’s most famous (and beautiful) supermodel, recently took some time to make an unexpected visit to children who have been stricken with cancer. The Victoria’s Secret Brazilian bombshell surprised a group of young women at Newbury Street’s Salon Pini & Co. in Boston and taught them the tricks of the trade, showing them how to strut their stuff on the catwalk, pose and a whole lot more!
Gisele’s drop in at the salon was unbeknownst to the girls, all of whom are patients at the Jimmy Fund Clinic at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston that were being treated to a weekend on the town. The weekend kicked off with a free shopping event at H&M, a fancy dinner and luxury accommodations at the Westin Hotel. Sunday the group of 29 girls were treated to a spa day at Salon Pini & Co. (fully catered by L’espalier), where they were given manicures, hair styling, makeovers and more! While the patients were receiving their much deserved pampering, Gisele popped out of an elevator to surprise them.
“I asked them to turn down the music, and said ‘Can I have your attention, because we’re not done yet. You all look beautiful. This looks like a room of supermodels. I think the only way we could raise the level of supermodel-dom in this room is to bring out the world’s most famous supermodel,’” WEEI morning radio host (and event MC) John Dennis said. “It was unbelievable. She made every one of those girls feel beautiful, loved and important. It was very, very special.”
Gisele met with each girl individually to take photos, give hugs and hand out roses. To end the event, an impromptu catwalk was formed and the young patients had a chance to strut their stuff! “We made a fake little catwalk in the salon, and we each walked down it,” one of the children said. “Then there were three girls that were in wheelchairs, and [Gisele] strolled them down the catwalk. Another girl and I didn’t want to walk alone, so she walked arm-in-arm with us.”
