Photo Gallery: Candice - Victoria's Secret Lingerie Shoot Part-2

Candice - Victoria's Secret

What model scout Kevin Ellise was doing in a Durban, South African flea market, we'll never know. But thank goodness he was there because, otherwise, we may have never had the pleasure of ogling a scantily clad Candice Swanepoel, whom he discovered there when she was just 15. Ellise had this to say about the first time he laid eyes on Swanepoel: "It was like… honestly, like a beautiful flamingo walking past my shop. The way she walked past just did it for me.” Clearly it did it for the modeling agencies too; Swanepoel was commanding 5,000 Euros for a day's work by the time she was 16.

Candice Swanepoel won't write the next great novel. She won't find the cure for cancer or be the first woman to walk on Mars. Let's face it. She probably won't even finish college. But what she does do, is strut around in bikinis and lingerie -- and she does it well. Already one of Victoria's Secrets hottest models, this South African beauty, whose nickname is understandably "Perfection," also graced the pages of the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, leaving men everywhere the tedious task of picking up our jaws from off the floor.
