Candice Swanepoel in racy shoot

Candice Swanepoel New York - Arabstoday Candice Swanepoel has revealed that she was taunted at school for her small frame. But the 23-year-old Victoria's Secret model admitted that modelling has been the perfect revenge for those bullies. Candice graced the cover of “GQ” magazine and said that she felt like an outside growing up in South Africa, until she was discovered at aged 15 in 2003. She told the magazine: “A year before I got scouted, I would watch a lot of FashionTV. At school, I got teased because I was so thin and awkward-looking. But the girls on TV looked similar to me. I would say to my mom: ‘The girls at school are teasing me, but I look like those girls on TV’. A year later, someone took me to an agency and that’s it. Revenge is always… I know it sounds terrible, but it does feel good to show those people.” In one shot for the magazine, Candice can be seen showing off her incredibly long legs in just a pink thong, covering her chest with her arms. In another, she dons just a white, full-piece swimsuit and an orange and black flower necklace.
