Petra Nemcova doesn't mind being called a Czech Chick. "Paulina Porizkova was the first Czech Chick," she says, laughing, "and she is amazing, beautiful and has a very strong personality." The same can be said about Nemcova, who grew up picking blueberries and mushrooms in Karvina, a tiny town in the mountains northeast of Prague. She has done ads for La Perla, Max Factor, Cartier and Victoria's Secret.
