Carolina Ardohain "Pampita"



Worshipped in Argentina as both a TV star and model, Ardohain is known north of the equator for jaw-dropping photo shoots in ad campaigns for Wonderbra and Victoria's Secret. However, the vast majority of people are still Ardohain-less, which is sure to change quite soon.

With the type of booty we adore in fellow Latinas like J.Lo and Salma Hayek, Ardohain has produced so many racy photos that we had no choice but to put her on our personal list of most desirable women. Her body, which has more curves than a mountain road, leads to the prerequisite long legs of a model but yet does not detract from her naughty, enticing smile. Throw in a sizable bust line, and we've got ourselves a winner
When she was in her late teens, Ardohain became interested in a local clothing brand that was publicly requesting non-models to be part of an upcoming ad campaign. As she already worked as a saleswoman at one of the brand's stores, she already had the inside track and landed a spot in the advertisements. When they hit the stores in late 1999, legendary South American modeling agent Pancho Dotto was struck with Ardohain's killer look and subsequently exhausted all resources to find her. When Dotto finally got a hold of Ardohain via telephone, a deal was struck in a matter of minutes. She signed on with the Dotto Models agency and that same day, attended and booked a contract with an international company. Five days later, she was flown to Mexico to film the subsequent commercial. Just like that, a star was born.



From there, her celebrity escalated just as quickly. Local magazines asked for her to appear in their pages, and soon even Argentinean Cosmopolitan had picked up on "Pampita" -- as she is nicknamed -- and her willingness to pose practically nude. When all was said and done, Ardohain graced over 40 different magazines covers in one year. Her features spanned much of Latin America: Argentina, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, and Brazil could all see her on their newsstands. Keeping up a frenetic work schedule, Ardohain finally broke through into the international scene after traveling to South Korea to conduct interviews for her new Argentinean TV programs: El Rayo and El Sitio. As host, Ardohain attracted a huge following in these variety-type shows, further expanding her popularity.
