  1. As for Miranda all she had was VS & Bloom, she lost both now so it doesn't look good for her.

     

    You must have an odd idea of what looks good for a model.  In just the last couple of months, I've seen Miranda in commercials for ShopStyle, Reebok, and H&M, and she has several other campaigns.  As for the current VS Angels and recent former ones, I've seen... nothing.  Not even VS commercials.  :idk:

  2. Paris is absolutey gorgeous and a great idea for a thread,but she hasn't put out work for at least a year and has dropped out the public eye,unless you know something different anyway great shots so far and good luck

     

    Judging from her Instagram, she's working; she's just not updating her official site.  Plus, she seems to be more of a "promotional" model and skater/surfer-lifestyle model, so she works in a niche that doesn't get much public attention.

  3. her success as an angel should be determined by how much product she sells with her modeling. 

     

    Ehhh, not really.  Selling products through modeling is the basic job of a model.  As an Angel, she's supposed to go beyond that - she's supposed to be a star for the brand.  The public is supposed to eat up anything-and-all-things-Aldridge.  I don't see that.

  4. I'm not sure if I agree that seniority should be rewarded with a cover. And if that is indeed the fact, then surely Anne V should get it before Chrissy?

     

    I'm not saying seniority should be the #1 factor.  I'm saying that when it comes to something (supposedly?) prestigious like the SI cover, you have to pay your dues.  Getting the cover as a rookie feels like a hollow accomplishment for Aldridge, whereas for someone like Anne V it would have felt earned.

     

    Just curious since I see this posted above and some other times; what makes Lily a dud as an angel? I am sure you do not refer to the quality of her work. So it is likely recognition from the average John or Jane Doe. How many average people do you think know the names of most models? Do you think Candice is a house hold name? Doutzen? Vs does not promote the names of the models in their catalog. SI does, so they become house hold names. Vs models are more recognized by look. What do you determine angel success by? Is there something that tracks how much lingerie each has moved? That fans have access to? You can track the success of an SI cover girl by sales. Don't want to sound like a defensive fan boy. Probably failed at that. Just looking for facts.

     

    In all fairness, VS hasn't knocked it out of the park in years when it comes to their Angels.   :ninja:  Especially compared to, say, Kate Upton.  Even on non-fashion sites and forums, she's everywhere, while Aldridge is... not to be found.  Look at the men's magazine "hot" rankings, which everyone here loves to dismiss as mere popularity contests.  Is she ever on them?

  5. Wow, lots of hate for Chrissy.  I'm not a fan of hers, but at least she semi-earned the cover, being a veteran of the issue.  Putting Lily on the cover as a rookie is what blows it.  It takes away the prestige of being a covermodel - especially when it's the 50th anniversary.  Plus, does SI really think she'll be an instant star for them when she's been kind of a dud as an Angel?  :notsure:

  6. Candice gets hate because of VS. Same way last week adriana was getting hate because of them. VS doesn't realize but when they play unfair it upsets people, not getting people to like the model lol. Like her opening only made things worse in my eyes.

     

     

    A perfect demonstration of the jealousy and pettiness that underlies the hate Candice gets from far too many BZ members.  The more VS likes her, the more they hate her, while complaining that a billion-dollar business isn't paying enough attention to their feelings:cain:  This is not adult behavior.  These cool-to-hate trends never were.

  7. as a fan, I wish we got the kind of regular picture updates from her like we did in 2007 and 2008. 

     

    We all do.  :p  But I'm not that bummed.  Marisa is 35 (saying that makes me feel old) and had a longer career than most models can dream of.  Plus, I never had the impression modeling was something Marisa would have trouble walking away from when the time came.  She never seemed to think modeling was a big deal, which I've always liked about her.

  8. I think that the 2013 version of Marisa needs to stop comparing her body to the 2004-2008 version.

     

    Huh?  What comparisons has she made?

     

     

    She got the body back after the baby, might as well flaunt it, otherwise--what's the point?

     

    Seriously, man?  I'm pretty sure the typical woman with a nice body can list a number of more important reasons for having their physique than being an exhibitionist.  Saying she's wasting her body by not showing it off to us is absurd.
