Web Sites

• AnaClaudia-Michels.com - Updated. 2nd last update. Site is closing soon
  (another case of the model and her agency feeling they don't need to assist in web site costs. Well Ana, if you find yourself posing more for Brazil fashion mags, and men's mags and less high fashion stuff. You have only yourself to kick. One of the better model fan sites I've ever seen. It's too bad it could be closing its doors.)
