Gisele Bundchen Says Goodbye to Runway

Brazilian Fashion Model and a top earning model, Gisele Carolina Bundchen, says goodbye to runway. She was one of the fashion's most favorite models since the beginning of her career.  In her own word,  "My body is  is asking me to stop. I respect my body, it's a privilege to be able to stop"
 While Gisele is leaving modeling that doesn't mean she will not be doing anything.  Will she be a stay at home mom or release a clothing line perhaps? We will just have to wait and see. Gisele says, "Stopping will leave room for other projects I have for myself"
