Christ Gereau MODEL:

‘She oozes beauty and elegance’

By Michael Lagerquist

While it would be accurate to
say Christi Gereau’s modeling
career began by accident —
more on that later — she also feels she
has been preparing for it since she was a
tomboy begging her mother for a pair of
jeans.
Gereau, a 1979 graduate of Mankato
West High School, is enjoying her greatest modeling success at 61. It has been
the result of a couple of factors, she said:
an awareness by business that mature
models are best for certain products,
and her increasing skill and a personal
lifetime regimen that exudes health and
fi tness.
“I did a little (modeling) gig when
I was 7 years old,” she said from her
Mankato home. “It was a swimsuit commercial that was in Cheboygan, Michigan. After that, I actually did not do
anything until high school.”
Her family moved to Mankato at the
end of her sophomore year in high
school. The store she modeled for then
was Brett’s Department Store. She modeled for others in Mankato and did some
while she was in college.
After marrying her high school sweetheart, Robert Nordby, she followed him
to New York for his job and went about
fi nding a job in fi nance, which she had
studied in college.
While working as one of the main

secretaries for Gilbert Kaplan, owner and
editor at Institutional Investor magazine,
she had a chance encounter that helped
guide her modeling career.
“I worked at 488 Madison Ave., right
next door to a men’s shop. I was waiting in the men’s shop and in comes Paul
Newman,” she said. After a brief talk
about the rain that had forced them into
the shop, he asked her if she did any
modeling.
