  1. It was for victoria's secret degrading women, having all of the girls wearing half to nothing, and a group of protesting women said it was offensive, and it was turning lingerie which was suppose to be something you wear under your clothes into soft core porn.

    It's an odd world, isn't it? You'd think they'd be celebrating the fact that some VS models have become very successful and very rich and that they all seem happy with their own sexuality (and sexual power).

  2. i like lenny too.... well, actually, i should say that i just like his music... i didn't favor it when they were together.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    But love goes where it wishes, not where we wish it to go (I'm talking about "being in love", not the other kind of love). The other thing is that Lenny Kravitz must have some good qualities otherwise Adriana wouldn't have been attracted to him.

    (Incidentally, shouldn't this thread be in the "General Discussion" section?)

  3. i have a wife and a daughter that won't wear anything but VS

    once you get them something from VS-they won't have anything else

    :o  :o

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    My wife likes the VS stuff too. Since we choose clothes together, I get to look long and lingeringly at the VS catalogues and she gets to tease me a little bit about Adriana!!

  4. yeah... if the protest... omg... i'd so want to hit them lol

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    I didn't know about the protesters... I'm puzzled...What protesters? What are they protesting about? Do people regularly protest at these events?

  5. IT si Adriana's website it is owned by MediaTropics like Ale's and Ana's

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    I hope you're right that it's Adriana's own website. However, it is not owned by MediaTropics - they just host it.

  6. www.adrianalima.com is coming soon!!!!!! ***

    WOOT WOOT!!! :fun:!!!

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    www.adrianalima.com is registered to Salans, a firm of lawyers specialising in Eastern European law and I'm not sure if this domain is actually owned by Adriana. Maybe Salans is "site sitting" or have obtained it on Adriana's behalf. Some domains are owned by Adriana (for example www.adrianalima.org). Has anyone got any more info?

    It would be nice if Adriana had her own website where we could get news of her work, shows etc.

  7. i have uploaded so many of those videos....so many countless times. :blush:

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Do you think we should use something like Bittorrent? Then they could be shared without having to constantly upload them. What do you think?

  8. so... anyone got any new vids?? :) ... yeah im bored lol

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    I'd like to see some new vids too. Yesterday I tried to buy a VS Show DVD off eBay, but somenoe outbid me in the last 10 seconds!!

  9. Actually here is the ABC interview..the FTV I'll have to upload on yousendit

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Thanks for this. :) The interview section sounds as though it's an edited-down version of a larger interview. Do you know if it is?

  10. Yeah, Alessandra's voice is almost as sexy as Scarlett Johansson's :p

    PS. English is not that hard, because there aren't so many weird grammatical rules, no genders on nouns and stuff (and if you can't pick a good word in English you can just say "and stuff"). But speaking it accent free is a different story...

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    It's the (relative) freedom from grammatical structure that makes English easy to pick up but difficult to master. The other problem is that there are so many varieties of English. And then there's English spelling.

  11. Luca Luca Spring 2005 Show

    May 18, 2004

    With various people.

    Thanks for the lovely pictures. But what date are they? Spring 2005 or 18 May 2004?

  12. But let's be honest: She has been modeling since she was 13, no? i have never read in her biography that she had a good school education, too. unlike for instance aishwarya she wasn't studying mediciene or something before she was discovered. her only "hope" to get a job was modeling. so it doesn't seem that she had any other outstanding features than "looking good".

    for me that doesn't speak much for her intelligence.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Oh dear - run out of coffee this morning, have we?! Ok, some points you ought to be clear about: 1) Lacking in education in emphatically not the same thing as being unintelligent (and we've all come across people who are "well educated" but fundamentally stupid). 2) A girl needs more than good looks to succeed in the modern modelling world (the proof of this is all the pretty failures there are). 3) As I understand it, Adriana was discovered by the model scouts - she didn't seek them out. At age 15 she was offered the chance to pursue a career in New York; a chance, which, as she was a sensible girl, she took. 4) The nature of our world is such that in order to get some things (a very successful modelling career, say), we have to give up something else which may be valuable to us, but which we just can't have at the same time (a college education, say). Adriana made her choice, but there's no evidence that she couldn't have chosen the other path, if she'd wanted to.

  13. I didn't mean to offend when i said that her speaking is not too good...  :blush:

    but my sis has been to the US for about a year and now she is speaking almost perfectly, though her english was not very "outstanding".  :laugh:

    U know, i thought it must be easy to learn a language when you are surrounded by the words all the time, but i agree that it is harder for Adriana as she travels so much...

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    I just don't see Adriana's English as being bad and I don't have any difficulty understanding her...

  14. I have no clue as to how intelligent Adriana is, since I obviously don't know her. However, I can tell you that it's a lot more difficult to learn English as a second language than you may think. And I doubt she has had much formal education which would make it twice as hard. With so much variance in the language from place to place, and high useage of slang it can be highly confusing trying  learn it correctly. My point is that just because someone doesn't speak perfect English, it doesn't make them dumb.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    You're right - it's very, very dificult to really master English as a second language. I take it as a sign of Adriana's intelligence that, despite the difficulties of the English language, she still manages to get her points across very well in the interviews I've seen her in.

  15. I don't think Adri is dumb, but for me it is kind of weird that her English is still so bad... i mean it is bad for someone who lives in the US for such a long time!

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    My guess is that when Adriana is speaking English in public and the subject is complicated or she's a bit nervous, she thinks in a mixture of Brazilian (Portuguese) and English and then has to quickly translate the Brazilian bits into English (I do the same speaking French when I'm in France). I know from my own experience that it's more difficult to control your accent when you're focused on trying to get your meaning across.

  16. Well, I've never heard or witnessed that breasts still grow at the age of 18-20! I think that is impossible. And since that time her breasts seem bigger. If she didn't have a surgery it must be photoshop.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Impossible? I don't think so. Although this obviously doesn't apply to Adriana, there have been cases where a very restricted diet as a teenager can prevent people reaching full physical maturity until their early 20s. Also, I don't think that surgery and Photoshop are the only reasons someone's breast size can vary. The other reasons are: the monthly fluctuations in the levels of estrogen and progesterone, the skills of photographers, and the cut of the clothes themselves...

  17. yea, please do..i wanna see the photoshopped ones and the "differences"

    i know can buy the most expensive bra w/ the most elaborate tape and i won't go from lima to Pamela Anderson in the same day. ...that's why i think she's enhanced....the bikini shots make it obvious too..they just look so different...i think the one of her on the beach in the brown bikini when it accidentally peeks out was the one that made me start wondering..because it just looked like every other fake boob i've seen in real life...

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    If she has had a breast job then it's been done extremely subtly and tastefully. But I think that what we are really witnessing are fluctuations in size caused by growing up, bra technolgy (I love that phrase!), her monthly cycle, fluctuations in her overall weight, and the arts of photgraphers and digital editors (even things like studio lighting can affect the apparent size and shape of things very dramatically). But let's suppose for a moment that she has had a little plastic surgery, does anyone know when this alleged event is supposed to have happened? Finally, does it actually matter? If she's happy with herself, then I'm happy for her.
