^Well that's just not going to cut it! Next clue then: ??

Morgane - GO SEXBOT GO! Toxic lustre thigh-high vamp-a-thon... Pisses over everything else. Candice - You know, I'm not that keen on this flowery fart, but at least the "lingerie" itself is distinctive - and has that killer pay-off at the back! Alessandra - OK, but a winner? Really? Miranda - Seriously? This is a basic, white, bra and panty set with a manky old washed-out bedsheet wrapped around it a few times. You people should be ashamed. ASHAMED!!!

^AyAyAy... O Dios mio, I'm taking it!!!

^Woo-Hoo!OK: ?

^Is that Return To Me?

Tried to find the shoot in better quality (with all due respect to Ms. Whithead... ) but was unable. Did find some better quality shots from previous eds with Hugh Lippe though:

^I second that! Thanks for the Nordstrom pictures too, vanessaaa. (Y) Scans of a new editorial in Hobo magazine, courtesy of Cindy Whitehead's blog. Photography by Hugh Lippe:

From during Paris Fashion week, via Stockholm Street Style:

Behati - So good they dusted it off and brought it out again for promo stuff this year. You don't see that with a fucking toga do you?!!! Alessandra - Careful of the pinch, Ale. Had your tetanus? Marisa - Still don't like it; just it's better than the other three... Adriana - Yawn Miranda - What do you people see in this? Pretty, you should have an "explain your decision" round. Doutzen - Overblown, overly pink, hellish monstrosity of what was sexy when Ed Razek would tear the girdle pages out of his mother's department store catalogues.

^Divine intervention..! I just watched this crappy film last night, it was called Cry Wolf and the end made no sense (though much more sense than the utterly stupid Valentine - why do I bother watching these things..?). Anyway, point is the 'slasher' uniform is just this red ski mask/balaclava that is totally unthreatening. I mean, just look at these monstrosities if you want a good scare-naked-college-girls-just-out-of-the-shower look: Pandas - aren't they actually supposed to be cute? Yeah, it's a bit too try-hard 'emo'... All the rage in the 60's apparently. This was de rigeur ski-wear. Did no one tell him how stupid it looked? Not when this was his wife..! Especially for Limerlight! Fucking 'A'! (Y) OK - you fellows have got my approval, don't milk it! Seriously? Pika Pika? Though it would certainly scare me down a dark alley. There you go! Nightmare stuff. Producers of Cry Wolf - take note.

Well, I've kind of said all I can about these outfits now. They're coming around again too quickly to think of new comments. So I'll demonstrate my opinions through the medium of interpretive dance... :dance: Morgane - ..... Candice - ..... Carmen - ..... Miranda - ..... Marisa - ..... Izabel - ..... I appreciate that this might not have worked too well via the internet, but my Tango for Candice was quite something. And you should have seen my Paso Doble...

And a hard-boiled lime for you:

^Well, that's very kind of you to say. I'd like to think it would be far less sophisticated, colourful and erudite - and certain threads would just fall to pieces... But that's probably just me! And whilst we're on trees, this is for Joe and his SQUIRRELTORIUM:

Clara - If Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed a superhero... Art-Nouveau Girl! Alessandra - It's a bit bawdy British 70's sit-com: Ale answers the door to the milkman and a gust of wind blows it wide open to reveal her in her négligée, a passing car's horn toots, milkman drops his bottles, paper-boy wolf-whistles etc, etc... Candice - Mrs. Neptune gets fit "the Slender-Tone way"! Adriana - Who will rid me of this turbulent outfit???

A stark warning of the perils of online translation services(!):

HQ's from the VS Press Room:

(2000 for me too - I reckon we need time to digest this year's motley assortment. Plus we haven't seen them all in motion yet. ) Flavia - It's cute and all, and Flavia was at her slinky rinky-dink best in it... But really, is this outfit in contention to win? Talk about dearth. Miranda (blue) - Of course you're totally right about the granny pants thing, Pretty and pheno, but outside of that it's fine. It's quite amazing how prevalent the granny cut was and, similarly, the ruffled 'posterior' that resembled frilled diapers. It was almost as if the designers had channelled the two ages of incontinence (infancy and old age) as some kind of metaphor for the amount of turds, however polished, they sent down the runway. Angela - Whilst this is perfectly serviceable, it's a tad boring and I'm torn (once more) between my desire to be 'wowed' and my hope that they won't over-embellish things... Miranda (gold) -

And during the Times Square photo-shoot:

From VS PINK, backstage:

Persevere, young padawan! Though not so sure about the 'Zapata' moustache:

And a backstage shot (via VS PINK):

^Yes! Ah, but talking of Christmas Wishes:

^I do so like it when you squee! Don't know what the KOAA show is for - but I think my reasons for attending bear little relevance...

^Nice, never seen it before!
