You can never learn too much about Gisele Bündchen, correct? While she’s been profiled over and over again, this time it’s different because she’s the author instead of the subject.

And though this piece is technically about her love and appreciation for Mario Testino, she still drops some extras.

• Gisele loved the heroine of a soap opera she watched when she was young so much that she named her dog Xuxa after her.
• The first time she ever went to Rio was at age 13, and she fell in love with the city.
• She loves to eat coxinhas (deep-fried croquettes), which are sold on the streets of Rio.
• A perfect morning for Gisele begins with a coconut for breakfast, followed by a game of beach volleyball.
• The first time Gisele went to the carnival in Rio she ran into Mario and the two danced all night.

And as for a quick language lesson from Gisele? Safadinho means naughty and mischievous. Learn it.
