Victoria's Secret Wings-Maker Ted Southern Says Gisele 'Tough' To Work With (VIDEO)

The New York Post managed to track down Ted Southern, the dude who makes Victoria's Secret's Angel wings. So what did the man who works with the world's most famous underwear models have to say? Spill, Ted, spill.

"Heidi is by far the best and easiest model to work with," Southern reports. "She's so animated and fun to be around. She's friendly to everyone."

Gisele Bundchen? Not so much.

"She's really tough. She's always screaming, 'What the f--k is this?'"

Imagine that!

Next up for Ted? He's working on astronaut gloves for NASA's next spacesuit.

Read the rest at the Post.

I think she's gorgeous. The man was asked a question. He answered. End of (non) story.

“The added bonus was working with Gisele.” Bekian states. “She is super cool, very down-to-earth, and genuinely a nice person.” The shoot ran flawlessly, and everyone enjoyed the experience of working with such incredibly talented and kind artists. “Our goal is to make professional production fun,” Bekian says,

So the guy who makes the wings thinks Giselle is hard to work with?

Isn't this a little bit like the guy who makes the bow-ties saying that Frank Sinatra gave him too much attitude, but Dean Martin was always nice to him?

Like my dad said, "Beauty is only skin deep, but is to the bone! When beauty fades, ugly holds its own!"
Great words...and not just for Gisele.

It's a million less in taxes she would have paid. Big deal. Learn how tax deductions and good accountants work people. They are in a tax bracket where if they don't donate they have tomgive it to Obama and his croonies. So mightbas well get some positive out of it. Let me see her over there recovering bodies and physically working then I would have a respect for her. Like the lower paid japanese workers living withnthis tragedy. Not walking down runways with wings on writing tax deduction checks. Like i said. Big deal.

DID Huffington post ever mention this? Tom Brady's supermodel spouse is making a super-sized donation to the relief effort in Japan. A source close to Gisele Bundchen tells us she's written a check for $1 million to the earthquake fund created by the Japanese Red Cross Society. We're told Gi, who a year ago donated $1.5 million to the Haitian relief effort, is also sending $250,000 to the Pacific Tsunami Fund and Save the Children and another $250,000 to a Japanese Red Cross earthquake fund...

why these are never publicized?

"Gisele Bundchen, along w Kate Moss, is a phenomenon. I wish models knew they have to have a personality" -Anna Wintour

-"Best of all is Isabeli and the second is Gisele, which could be a snob with other models, but she is not. She knows everybody's name and always says "hi", she is very nice." - Bianca Balti

-"The great thing about her is that she grew up from the "supermodel Gisele" into this responsible, amazing woman with an extraordinary and positive energy, ready to help anyone who needs it." -Peter Lindbergh

-"There are thousands of models out there who don't become successful - you need to be beautiful, dynamic and clever. If your brain doesn't work, you won't survive. Gisele hasn't changed over the years: she speaks a lot, she is funny and she is not scared of saying what she thinks." - Dolce & Gabbana

-"The only time I've ever seen her say 'no' - and I've made her lie naked on hospital floors - it was midday, 140 degree heat, Death Valley, in a fur coat. She said 'I can't stand anymore', but the previous evening, wearing a bikini in a thunder and lightning storm, she'd been fine." - Katie Grand

-She is friendly to everyone (down to the last production assistant), raids the cookie plate herself, and chats nonstop. She manages to keep it real despite the maelstrom of press reports chronicling her life. - Peter Lindbergh

Gisele donated 1 million to Japan, I wonder why it didn't get this much attention! oh that's right, because its "positive"

who is this Ted guy and look at the attention he got by just mentioning her name, lol nice.
Read Anna Wintour,Stefano Gabbana,Patrick Demarchelier,Peter Lindbergh et al opinions on Gisele. its nothing but nice things to say and they keep hiring her so I'd say this Ted guy maybe didn't get his autograph.

Gisele is the only model this year in 2011 to have 5 Vogue covers. She is an icon and modeling icons kinda sort of never go away. Its pretty sad all the tons of fashion people who rave about how well she is to work with, yet this one gets publicity. Typical.

3 of Gisele's bodyguards are on trial in Costa Rica for firing three shots at paparazzi when she and Tom were married here. tough and potentially deadly !

I never understood why people thought she was pretty. She has a very harsh German nose that dominates her face.

She's downright ugly.

I've never understood why VS pays these so called "supermodels" millions of dollars to appear in their catalogs, when there are a million soccer moms out there that look nearly as good (or better in some cases) that would do this for nothing (or maybe a gift card) just so they could have the experience of being a VS model for a day.

Being a model has to do with so much more than how you look.

I doubt, for example, many of your "soccer moms" are 5'11'' and size 0, can walk a catwalk like a professional, while wearing stilettos.

And I see lots of "soccer moms" and very few of them look like Giselle or Adriana Lima.
