So, with VS's twitter account referencing the modelinia article about Toni Garrn being the new "Angel" we - the slavering masses - need this question answered more than ever: Toni Garrn... For a start, I wouldn't recommend you stand next to those two. Lordy, don't you read the forums?! Anyway, here's a little quiz for you Toni (and other aspiring "Angels") to find out your ultimate fate... Will you be a brilliant "Angel" who is brilliant at everything and is Everybody's Favourite™? Or maybe an "Angel" that is shoved down our throats to the point of inducing vomiting and is highly divisive as a result - particularly regarding her posterior? Or perhaps one that left aaages ago but we keep on promotional material because she was briefly famous for being in movie? Or that one that we forget we've got most of the year? QUESTION 1. You find yourself at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and are hanging out with Doutzen and that guy from C.S.I Miami and it's all totally awesome and you're having the best time - so, come the show's airing you get all your friends and family around to watch. What happens? a) You're in the opening credits but are never mentioned again. b) What show? I did all these adverts and shoots with the other "Angels" but I guess I must have been busy? Wasn't I? c) You open/close a segment and get a little VT section all to yourself and your mother cries and your boyfriend is torn between bragging about this to everybody he knew in high-school but is wary that his days may be numbered and why does Kanye keep calling? d) You're fighting for airtime with Caroline Brasch Nielsen. QUESTION 2. You've been booked to do a photoshoot. What's going on when you arrive? a) It's on the beach. Everyone else is a different ethnicity to you. b) Michael Bay is hitting an intern and there are explosions everywhere. You're in an aircraft hangar but can't help but notice that, despite all the space, he keeps yelling at Candice to stand in front of you. c) You've got more outfits than everybody else and Russell James keeps cuddling you. d) You're wearing hoodies and jogging bottoms with four other girls who you don't recognise. QUESTION 3. There's this puff-piece article regarding some VS bollocks coinciding with whatever in Vogue(US) and various models have been interviewed. Are you: a) In a group picture, but nobody's spoken to you? b) Totally absent? c) Mentioned second (after Adriana, naturally), but have the most quotes and called a "rising star in the VS camp" by a cloying journo? d) Indignant because your name has been spelt wrong and that it's actually a picture of somebody else anyway? QUESTION 4. You are browsing Bellazon (or other fine model-related forums) in a spot of vanity, and happen upon the Victoria's Secret "News" section. How are you represented? a) People are in furious conjecture about whether you have "Angel" status or not. And come up with a hundred conflicting 'facts' to support or deny this theory. b) People are asking: "Where is she now?" c) People are saying you're the new Gisele. d) People aren't saying anything. How did you score, Toni? Mostly a's: You are Lais Ribeiro, or Emanuela before that (and Oluchi before that). And it's all well and good but it's never going to properly happen. You kind of are - but not really. Mostly b's: You are Katsia - and I can't even be bothered to look up her surname. You shone brightly my friend, but briefly. Who can say why? Maybe you rejected somebody important's sexual advances, or your new partner didn't like you parading about in lingerie, or some old shit like that..? Mostly c's: CONGRATULATIONS - you are an "Angel"!!! It's just VSAllAccess's fault for not updating their site and shutting all us weirdos up. Mostly d's: You are a PINK model. Better get over yourself.

^Another one!

New VS wallpapers:

^I know, right! Ale's positively flaunting her stomach: *Nb: This look only works if you're blonde and/or Kate Upton... †Nbb: Oh, unless Sophia Neophitou is involved...

^Naturally!!! ^I presume you mean the 'relaunched' Doctor Who? I tell you, v, I'd be massively impressed if you'd seen every Doctor Who from the '60s onward...

New model-contract recruitment poster (possibly):

^Nutella no - but dulce de leche is an Argentine "invention" and a source of national pride on par with Evita and Maradona! Alfajores come from Spain but, in Almeria where I go at least, they're only really a Christmas thing... In Argentina (and Uruguay) they are the candy bar.

+ From NYmag's 'The Cut' (For some bizarre reason I can only enter this text when wrapped in code tags Article in all it's original glory here: http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2012/04/beh...kateboard.html) Behati Prinsloo Would Like to Be Cruising on a Skateboard By Mara Siegler Model Behati Prinsloo is one of the ladies whose image is plastered on Ben Watts's new skateboards for Soho boutique 3x1. But don’t expect to see her rolling down the street on a set of the wheels — at least not anytime soon. "I've tried before. I have a few skateboards. My boyfriend used to skate and a lot of my friends do, so there will be a board [left] at my house ... for years. I will be like, 'Whose board is that?'" Her curiosity hasn't ended well: "I've fallen on my face and had some serious injuries, but I'd like to get better. I'd like to be, like, cruising, you know." Doesn't she worry about messing up her moneymaker? "At the time you don't and then later you're like, 'Oh, maybe I shouldn’t have done that.' But whatever." Behati's summer activities are less likely to anger her agents. "I ride my bike and I do Pilates and I do boxing. I’m pretty active. I like being outdoors and doing things. Basketball with the boys. Skateboarding," she admitted, "is still a little prickly."

^With these things it always helps if you let us know what they are and where they came from... But, no, I've not seen it before anyway. More images form the 3x1 event, via Getty (as if you couldn't guess):

^And here I was thinking spammers were cool again: http://www.bellazon.com/main/index.php?s=&...t&p=2856934 No respect for this great ( ) thread... Done. ~ Post Edited by Joe > Average

^I don't recall seeing that before, thanks - looks like it's a campaign... The PINK 'hoodie' shot is from their 'Pinterest' board and was posted back in February. (Y) With apologies to JamieLeah526 for the watermark ( ), shots via the Billy Farrell Agency of the 3x1 + Ben Watts Skateboard Series Charity Event:

^They're called alfajores - and they're pretty much our sweet snack of choice! (We're the biggest consumers in the world! ) Dulce de leche is the "traditional" filling I suppose, but they've expanded to all manner of things. You can buy them in all bakeries and supermarkets, but there are also branded varieties that you'll find in kiosks: As befits their ubiquitousness - more global brands have adapted to include them, so there are Oreo and Cadbury alfajores for example...

Again, I'm sure these Princesse Tam Tam shots will be available in better quality very soon, but until then - the summer swim collection '12:

^Always two there are - a master, and an apprentice... If you don't have any plans for Thursday night: Or, if so, next month: ^Hopefully we'll get such shots after Thursday's event. The 'Gala For Good' event is actually for goods4good - the charity that Behati is heavily involved in, and which profits of her skateboard's sale will go to. Failing that maybe I'll try to scan mine!!! ^Here it is 'biggerer' though:

^Wherever vanessaaa lifted this quote from, this video is obviously something to do with that!

^Wow - these just keep coming! Are there still more..? Lovely at the Elite 'Model Look' thing too, Thank you both. There's a lot of Magda in PINK's new April wallpaper:

^Whilst that's very commendable, I think the three emoticons you used before Ophelia had even posted were pretty indicative of your feelings on this subject and somewhat combative regarding the decision made.
