More from Ben Watts/Next in Miami - aprés shoot: + This vid with (hair stylist) Leon Gorman: http://a.yfrog.com/i...qwyldfoktyn.mp4

^Another one from this shoot, courtesy of the make-up artist Kelley Coleman: ^So, apparently it was an 'editorial test shoot' - but I found the full set, via the make-up artist for it, Nicholas Shatarah: ^Of course that wasn't the full set! Yes, I found some more to amuse myself with - via the aforementioned Faustina Rose's blog (F**cking F**kstina):

^Well, at least the conversations will be better wherever we end up...

^ Hey MissLimaVzla - welcome to glorious exile!Oh, yeah, I actually came here because I saw this on the VS browser - but it's always nice to know one is being talked about:

^Jaja! 'In bar, playing pool' is just my go-to setting for if I find a lady attractive or not - as "fetishes" go it's pretty niche (not to mention tame, there are others though... ).

+ Another Ben Watts shot, from a VS shoot in LA last week that the vultures missed(!):

^It is, and only two pages ago: http://www.bellazon....80#entry3053060 ^But this "repeat: is on the same page! http://www.bellazon....20#entry3058103The fruits of today's Next shoot in Miami with Ben Watts, via his twitter:

'Alright baby, let's do this...' :baronlamesign: And so, in a cacophony of out-of-sequence and therefore nonsensical "off stage" director voices we're back on familiar ground. Lots of people running about and forced peril that the 40 models are somehow scattered across Manhattan and not in the same area having hair and make-up done or putting costumes on. And then... It's Circus time! And out comes Adriana - embracing that inner-clown that's just been itching to get out. She honks her horn, squeezes her nose (makes kissy-face/heart shape/exaggerated wink/prays to God), makes a couple of pratt-falls, and stumbles across to the audience swinging a bucket. Oh no, is it filled with water and will get Russell Simmons (it's always Russell Simmons) completely soaked?!?! Ah, but no, it's only filled with Swarovski glitter. Oh, VS, you cheeky circus teases you... And then out comes Karolina Kurkova for a special guest return. She's in her little car, but then it backfires loudly, smoke comes out, the doors fall off, and the steering wheel comes out in her hand. She gets out embarrassed - but it's not over yet - her costume is waaay to tight and ill-fitting and so it rips and leaves her standing there IN HER BRA AND PANTIES!!! You know, like she would have been wearing in a VSFS prior to 2006 when this thing made any sense whatsoever! But, alas, it's not like that - you missed a trick VS. Personally, I'd have loved you for it, and loved Adriana too... What we got wasn't in any way 'more couture-ry' (love that shamefaced lie), but more Hallowe'en-ry. And, no, no KK catastrophes, but we have seemingly got Erin to take her place. Last year: wing-failure, this year: hat-not-on-head. But be thankful for small mercies - we could have had a PERIL AT THE ARMORY: MODEL FALLS OFF RUNWAY AND WON'T BE IN SHOW 2012 SPECTACULAR segment, cut to a mournful Lais Ribeiro: "I should have opened 'Dangerous Liaisons'" Sure, we all know what's coming up later now - and how bile-inducing it's going to be ('the remarkable Candice' :x ) - but let's not forget (indeed, as we were told, how could we forget?) there was still room to tell us how great la Lima is and how much the "Angels" look up to her. 'Who could forget Adriana's Superbowl Commercial?' Yeah, who? TELL ME WHO? Ah, some good old forced ad-libbing for you. I was told that if you wore sunglasses indoors or at night you are either blind or a c**t. Given that it's indoors and night, which is it going to be Rihanna? 'We start in January... Finish in December... And take a seductive journey through every month inbetween. Except November, obviously, nothing good ever happens in November.' Did you spot it? I tried very hard to see the heartfelt homage to cultural appropriation, and there it was (possibly mercifully) buggering up Barbara's walk. Yeah, I freeze-framed that millisecond just so I could be supremely offended. How dare they show a glimpse of the back of a Native-American headdress for a fraction of a second on prime-time TV? I think my Mexican gardener was offended too, but it was hard to tell if he saw it looking through my window from outside... No, Bruno. This is NOT the time for an impromptu bukkake. Uh-oh - it's a PINK skit. Or was it a tampon-ad? Good to know a monthly visit isn't going to slow these girls down from having tons of fun on the football field or getting chased by sharks... And then there was Elsa's bum. That is a thing of beauty. It deserves it's own thread - hell, forum! There's been talk over the years at how CBS has cut the shots of the models walking away - that somehow the ass-shot is an anathema to the conservative USA. Broadly, I suppose, it's true - you look back at old shows and bums were much more prominent; and none of that blurring shit neither. Here though, now, the directors and editors had a moment of clarity: 'Steve, Steve, there's too much footage of this girl's butt. The network will go crazy!' 'Let them, if they will. It's perfection. Let it ride, Pete. Let it ride...' In other news someone let their kid run around on stage for a bit. An odd choice of occasion for "bring your child to work day" but look at his little face. Awww! 'And later, Rihanna, like you've never seen her before!' What? You mean half-dressed and prancing about on stage??? No, total surprise. But THIS. THIS is what you've been waiting for. What's the point of all these other "Angels" anyway? What's the point of anything unless its: THE REMARKABLE CANDICE!!! 'Candice is everywhere at the moment'. Too f**king right - because you PUT her everywhere matey-boy! What has this man got on his head? I've re-watched this, and I'm still none the wiser - he's also following his child-boss about earlier in the show, and it looks like he's balancing a sweater up there. I don't know, is this what you kids are calling "fashion" now? And then it was over in a flurry of lady-garden euphemisms and elaborate gurnings. What have we learnt? Nothing. Will we still get in a frenzy for the 2013 show? Of course. Will we repeat this process ad infinitum? Undoubtedly. Members will complain, and other more earnest members will complain about the complaining. But it's all just silly fun. Get over yourselves. Special bonus screen-cap for posterity:

From 10 magazine's 'Christmas Angels' series: Now, what I want for Christmas...

^Well if you'd quit sticking your dick in it...

^Cheers! The following is via Madoff Productions, they've just released a solo Adriana Lima vid from the 'Pre Show' thing last night - so hopefully they will do a Behati one too...

The 'What is Behati's Hallowe'en Costume?' conundrum...

The 'Pre-Show' thing is up on VSAllAccess now, I expect somebody will break it down into constituent parts at some point but for now skip to 36:35: http://vsallaccess.v...ionshow/preshow (Y) And is this the 'Holiday Commercial' in full? More Behati, anyways: You know, I bet she's not really playing that piano...

How about those people who say they like you but really they're serving you up to the evil Empire to save their own skins and it doesn't matter how much they protest "I HAD NO CHOICE" because we all do and we should show some backbone and not just lick-ass? Anyway, yes, 1000 more might just be about right - I'd say another 5 is pushing the credibility levels, so I'll say I hope for 1000 more agitprop, deep-rooted cynicism and caustic wit from you...

And this is beautiful,via V (España) magazine, backstage at the VSFS:

Behati (and Alessandra, obviously) on something called 'AM Buzz' promoting the VSFS:

COME PLAY WITH US DANNY... :shock:

^Actually I'd say 'Pazzi's' elaborate death scene, and the visceral boar/pig climax are the "Grandest" of the Grand Guignol scenes (although I don't know how they'd stage such a thing ). But, yes, I can imagine the theatre-goers going crazy over the brain-eating!
