Well, VS does sell nursing bras...

That should be around 2012-2013 if we eliminate the magical neverending properties of the contracts. It would be an opportune time for both sides to move on IMO, but you never know what VS will do. Ed has a hard-on for both of them, so he might let them stick around longer than they need to. (Some could argue that it's already been too long.) I nominate Candice for the next unplanned pregnancy.

RE: The recent swim candids of the two Brazilians - I'm not impressed by either one of their bodies. I'm willing to give one of the Brazilians a little more leeway because she is obviously still working on losing her baby weight. It's very, very "obvious" why VS covered her up in the SAS commercial, why Russell hasn't been showing a lot of candids of her body in his behind the scenes work, and why she had her stomach covered with the robe in that E! make-up video. She looks nice from the neck up, but the swim candids show me that the midsection still needs some work. I am not of the opinion that she looks great no matter what. I think right now she looks decent for where she's at, but I'm not in shock and awe the way some people seem to be. I can't rationalize away the pictures of the other Brazilian though. After seeing the Hawaii candids of her, I was left with a feeling of she went above and beyond what was necessary in losing her baby weight. I wonder if she's feeling the pressure of being around so many young, thin supermodels and felt she had to do a little more just to compete. When she's posing and contorting her body (like in the St Barth's candids), she looks fine, but when you see her in a casual walking state (like in Hawaii), I can see she is leaning towards the thin side of the spectrum. She's not sickly looking yet, but gaining a few pounds to fill out her cleavage or round out her bottom would be great. Still, I hope she wears the fantasy bra this year. Just like someone needed to wear it to "get it out of the way" in 2008, she needs to wear it to "get it out of the way" in 2010. That concludes my unpopular opinions.

I think she just didn't want to do the David Jones stuff this season and the wedding is a convenient excuse for her. If she wanted to be there, she would be. It's a long trip, a lot of work, and she's done it for three years running. It's not the most professional move she's ever made, but I don't blame her if she wants a break from it. She won't have to deal with the Aussie press who are always all over her the minute she steps foot in the country, and her David Jones work sucks anyway IMO.

You have too many attachments in a row. Just upload the attachments as normal and publish the post. You don't have to insert the pictures into the post one by one. If you do that, then you can't put more than two or three in a row before the code goes wacky and looks the way yours does. Edit your post and press enter after every second or third attachment to start it on a new line.

For anyone who is HTML saavy (or even interested for that matter), I posted here in Candice's thread how you can get the VS browser working again for you.

The VS browser still works. You just have to change the source code. 1. Save the VS browser webpage to your harddrive. 2. Open up the source code from the page you saved for editing. 3. Everywhere you see http://www2.victoriassecret.com/images/prodlgvw/ in the javascript code, change it to http://media.victoriassecret.com/product/prodzoom/. This is the only thing that needs to be changed. Don't bother anything else. 4. Save the source code. 5. Open the webpage. Open up the page you saved, not the page directly from the altervista site. 6. Type a picture number (such as 300000), click show image. If you do all of this correctly, then the browser should work fine for you. You obviously have to be connected to the internet for it to work, but you'll essentially be browsing from a page off of your own hard drive, not a page on someone else's server. I suppose someone can upload the web page onto their own server at a later date. I can't be bothered to do it since I rarely use the browser myself. A screenshot of what the browser looks like from my harddrive. A couple of notes: 1. I use IE to browse, so if the script works differently in Firefox or something else, I can't help you. 2. Look at my address bar. I'm not browsing from the altervista site. I'm browsing from the page that I saved in one of my own folders. 3. Personally, I don't use the VS browser anymore. I don't find it to be efficient at all. I posted in the Miranda thread a long time ago how I get pictures, and it's not by clicking one at a time.

That might have been true in the past, but the bras have bases now. It's been a literal bra with diamonds stuck on top for the last three years. Selita's bra was the Very Sexy Push-Up. Adriana's bra was the Miracle Bra. Marisa's bra was the Very Sexy Plunge Convertible. I wouldn't be surprised if the fantasy bra has an actual size now (like 32B, 34C, 30-something Letter-Something, etc) as opposed to when they had the wires and fancy construction happening, and I would imagine that it's easier now to transfer the bra to a model with a comparable bra size. Give me some cutlets, and I could probably fit Marisa's bra. Hell, give me the same bra and some glitter and I probably could have made it. If Miranda is the model that needs to be replaced, I don't think they'll have a hard time finding someone else. She's a B cup, and VS has lots of B cups on their roster these days. Candice isn't busty. She's all push-up bras and airbrushing. Since Alessandra lost a lot of weight, her cups have deflated right along with her.

Second set.

Candice's Secret updated their site today - in more ways than one And yes, I renamed the pictures.

+1. For those of you who don't like the song choice, Russell said on his Facebook that Ed chose it, so that's who you can thank for that. I agree that the music isn't the best cause I really, really, really hate that song, but I think the commercial in itself is fine. It has a soft and pretty vibe to it that really works when I watch it on mute. I'm just glad to see an angel get a singular focus on her instead of all of the new faces. I don't think she looks that young anymore. Back when she first started, VS played up her young look to the extreme by putting her in ring curls and stuff. I think Miranda's now starting to look more adult in the face, and her overall look works for her in the current VS environment. She's 5/6 years older than most of the current supermodels and doesn't look it. Even Adriana is starting to look a little old in comparision to some of the new models. When Adriana and Alessandra started, they were the young looking models surrounded by the older ones. Now the two of them are the older models surrounded by the young looking ones. The company desperately needed to get younger though, so I don't have a problem with that in itself. I just wouldn't focus on the newbies so much, and I wouldn't have so many newbie blondes all at once. They're all kind of melting together into one big "ErLinDice" entity for me.

Fixed that for you. Frankie isn't a boy dog. She's a girl.

A peek at the new VS catalogue with Lindsay on the cover. Her fourth VS cover so far this year.

I shared the information with you. You're welcome.

Only if the fan thread has a medic on standby - out of courtesy for the dedicated fans who visit that might overdose on all of that sugar. Didn't you start the "Who is the most annoying fan?" thread? So, um, yeah... ...and there's a ton of new VS pictures on the server. I counted at least 30 when I went through them. I'm not going post them because I don't feel like it. Someone else can do it or just wait for the TFS people to post them and copy their posts as usual.

Oh please, it's no more boring than a ton of posts with nothing more than "goo goo ga ga, heart, love" fangirl/fanboy fawning which is usually what this thread consists of. Every other model has her private life discussed in her thread. Isabeli didn't get a separate thread to talk about her wedding and pregnancy. Marisa doesn't get a separate thread to talk about her marriage. Heidi didn't get a separate thread to talk about her pregnancies. Gisele didn't get a second thread to talk about her pregnancy. Brooklyn didn't get a separate thread to talk about her wedding. Bar doesn't get a separate thread to talk about her relationship. If none of those other models get separate threads for their personal lives, then I don't think Miranda needs a separate thread either. (And for the record, I don't think Rosie needed a separate thread to talk about the Transformer news.) Just my opinion.

The only model that went running her mouth early about getting the fantasy bra was Adriana. No one else (to date) has opened her mouth and said anything, and that's the way I prefer it to be. It's not necessary to know every single detail about every single thing regarding VS, months and months in advance. I don't want to know in June who is wearing the fantasy bra that comes out in October.

Pictures from Miranda's WGN appearance this morning She also posed at the Bean this morning.

I don't like Candice, but I understand why they are overusing her. It's the only way they are going to get people to know who she is. She's a nobody in the modeling world, and I don't think she's capable of generating true buzz and a big following on her own. It's going to be on VS to get her face recognized and her name known. That's going to be very important for her in a possible future as one of the prominent faces of the brand. She definitely needs to practice delivering her VS scripted lines and talking points though. They just don't come across fluid and natural. The real question will be if Candice can use her association with the company (angel or not) to take her career to a new level the way Heidi did or the way Miranda has.

Behati and Doutzen might have been signed around the same time. In that Cosmo article that you referenced, Behati said she'd been an angel for almost two years. That would mean she was signed in 2008.

VS is basically finished with most of their spring/summer major catalogue updates. The next few catalogues that are released should all be the summer sale stuff - casual sale, shoe sales, swim sales, semi annual sale, etc. They might release some new pictures with those catalogues, but most of the pictures in the sale books are usually old. If Esti shot for fall, then the bulk of those pictures should start coming out in June or July. That's when they start to release the fall catalogues.

None of them are new, and all of them have been posted before.
