"Thinkers" weigh in...

Think you know what's best for Barbara Palvin? OF COURSE YOU DO - EVERYBODY DOES! I don't know about you, but I can't get enough of members discussing what's best for her based on a sliver of information on a daily basis. Personally I think it's a shame that there's only one thread to tell Barbara Palvin how to live her life, surely she deserves a sub-forum so we can lecture her about her career choices, personal style, use of multi-media and boyfriend choices. I mean Victoria's Secret didn't even choose her to walk the show this year - thus depriving us the opportunity to clutter up all their related-threads with what she's doing wrong/right at any given moment... Or what if you're fed up with people going on about things she supposedly does wrong - when YOU KNOW that she is 100% perfect and they're all wrong or jealous or something about haters... But - NEVER FEAR - because there's a new thread in town, and here we can put all her decisions under the incredible scrutiny they deserve. Here we can pore over the minutiae of Barbara Palvin's thought-processes and ridicule/praise her as she stumbles/boldly strides ahead in her life. How does she manage without us? Or can she manage perfectly well without us thank you very much - LEAVE HER ALONE! If you think everything she does is perfect - COME TELL US AD NAUSEUM HERE! If you think everything she does is wrong - EXACTLY THE SAME! And don't worry if you think you're above it, and tell everyone else how silly they are as she knows what she's doing and its all cool, without any trace of irony - THAT MAKES YOU EVEN BETTER QUALIFIED! "Let's move on" variations are welcomed too... And passive-aggressive posts about how much you appreciate the images members contribute to her thread! (Nice one ) For me, I think she needs to stand in the corner in some saucy lingerie and have a good long hard think about all the aggravation she causes Bellazon users by not acting exactly as they might all individually want 24 hours a day: Yeah, you better think good long and hard about all that, missy...

CANDICE SWANEPOEL LANDS NEW LEAD ROLE IN MUSIC VIDEO Sexy South African Victoria's Secret Angel and top model Candice Swanepoel can now add a brand new title to her CV - that of ACTRESS! The beauty has apparently landed the plum role of the 'love interest' in the latest music video for Taylor Swift's I Knew You Were Trouble. Candice, 25, will be pouting, back-arching, and being effortlessly sultry in the hot-to-drop vid - and even revealing that figure thats the envy of the world in her trademark Victoria's Secret lingerie. It's a long way from the Mooi River farm, where the notoriously shy Candice grew up - never knowing that her shy and sweet self would one day be the star in a music video! "It's a serious, moody, piece," a made-up agent said. "Candice will be the focal point of the song and will be pouting and doing that back-arching thing a lot in a serious and moody place." Candice, who grew up on a farm, was apparently 'thrilled' to get the role - beating out many top names, models and actresses, to pout yaddayadda on the stairway and occasionally walk up and down on it in a serious and moody way. Taylor Swift, who will apparently have a small cameo in the vid, was said to be 'pleased' that the music-short was being taken very seriously and wasn't just going to be a series of models mucking about and lip-synching to camera. "It's a serious song," another (or maybe the same?) made-up agent told us. "So it needs a serious amount of pouting and back-arching gravitas. It wouldn't do to cheapen the song by, I don't know, running down corridors or waking up on catwalks or inexplicably dancing about in a room full of bird's wings." Candice also loves Brazil and speaks Portuguese.

^I'm very happy they did this - it's a nice homage to Mr. McGann who never got a fair crack of the whip... But, yes, what can't benefit from a slice of some prime Roberts ham?

can't wait to see the results! ^Me too! That looks like a good combo. New browser VS:

Siemgi, your 'Snow Angel' fittings (from WWD):

Ah, as if there weren't enough queens knocking around already we now have a 'Snow Queen' - and BEHOLD she actually has a retinue (as opposed to a fictitious one you've made up in your head), according to Monica Mitro anyways... ^'Curly Queen'? Yet more evidence that when it comes to the Pearly Kings and Queens nobody else really knows what they're talking about... Check out the Literal Brigade who have gotten themselves involved again this year (picture #13 ) Anyway, pictures: (Source for all: WWD)

^You can dismiss it all you like, but I wrote about the pearly kings/queens long before I knew who was wearing the outfit (as per my link in the post). If it makes you feel better you can put it down to my supposed stance on Adriana, but I'm just telling you the actual facts about the outfit to avoid all the confusion...

I've posted about the Pearly King/Queen confusion on the 'Official VS' thread - but I see it's crossing both of these so I'm linking to it here too: http://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/27120-the-official-victorias-secret-thread/?p=3291958
