Yeah, I remember when I worked at VS they were having to add weight onto Karlie's photoshoots. It's why she gained weight as an Angel. They do the same to some of Stella's shoots. But they've been heading towards smaller models the last few years. There was an article from Forbes (I think?) just this year, talking about how VS didn't hit their December goals and that part of the impact could have been because VS and the models aren't appealing to the newest generation like all-inclusive, cheaper, online brands are.

I love the dark lip on her. I wish she'd do it more often. The nude lip is nice for swim though.

I'm loving the blue. Preferred the similar pink one she wore to Cannes, but the blue looks really good on her as well.

Do you think she has VS Angel potential? She's got a mature face and it's nice to see something different than the Martha, Elsa, Romee, Candice, etc blonde look. A lot of the VS Pink girls they've been bringing in like Brooke Perry, Paige Reifler, and Ella Rattigan all look the same. I would love to see her in more VSL and see her walk the show this year. I think she could go far in VS, but I thought the same for Barbara and we know how that played out.

She really deserved the cover. I will be forever bitter until they give her one.

She is so fucking gorgeous.
