Sexy Super Model
Beautiful, very hot and sexy, Petra Nemcova
Petra Nemcova born June 24, 1979 in Karviná; is a Czechoslovakian-born
fashion model and author. Her father was a bricklayer and her mother, a
teacher. She became a model after being spotted at the age of 16 during a
national talent search. She was featured on the cover of the 2003 Sports
Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and has also modeled for Victoria's Secret, and
for many other companies in the women's clothing market. On June 3, 2004,
she was one of the telecast judges during the 53rd annual Miss Universe
competition in Quito, Ecuador.
Nearly Killed
During the Indian Ocean
earthquake of 26 December 2004, Petra was at the Khao Lak resort in Thailand
with her main photographer and fiancé, Simon Atlee when a tsunami struck
where they were staying. Atlee was killed by drowning, and Nemcova suffered
a broken pelvis and serious internal injuries, but she managed to hold onto
the top of a palm tree, for eight hours, until she was rescued by Thai
civilians and airlifted to an inland hospital nearby. Petra spent three
weeks in a Thai hospital, and then flew home to the Czech Republic, where
she spent an additional three weeks in the hospital. Atlee's body was not
found until over two months after the tsunami.
