    Ooof that outfit needs a lot of work.
    Why why why would they chose that fabric? If anything it should be leather to fit the British theme. Leather and studs would make it much more edgy than whatever that tacky fabric is and buttons. Let's hope they fit it better at least. She really looks like an 80s female wrestler.

     

    I wonder if they will change it up. I think it would better if Adriana opened and Candice closed.

     

    Yeah it would esp since this is queen and king, why make a king go first instead of last

     

    But what could also happen is candice open and adriana goes directly behind her. Like when adriana opened in 2003 and gisele was after her.

     

    But I still hope adriana's closes because she'd get the most spotlight still

     

    Adriana is not going after Candice, she is going after Behati who is wearing the guardian outfit. I think she'll close the segment, or at least that's what I understood and it makes perfect sense.

     

    Then Lima took us even further behind the scenes to her “dressing area” where she proudly pointed us towards a hanger holding a look belonging to Behati Prinsloo. From what we could gather, Behati will be the castle guard to Adriana’s royal highness. After the looks had been settled, we took a trip down memory lane to last year’s epic performance. Adriana’s face lit up when Rihanna’s name was mentioned. “She did such a great job that I think she outperformed all of us when she walked! I love her. I love her music, I love her personality—she is great.”

     

     

     

     

     

     

    ^I'm taking all these (and others but I quoted too many! :pinch: ) at once as they pertain to the same thing. When I saw the sketch for the 'Pearly King/Queen' I addressed it a few weeks ago HERE: http://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/48583-victorias-secret-fashion-show-2013-general-discussion/?p=3271494

     

    Pearly kings clothes are made of 'tacky fabric' and 'buttons' - specifically mother-of-pearl. They were originally market traders, and they elected "kings", titular leaders, from each specific trade (be it fishmongers, butchers, ironmongers, fruit and veg sellers etc) to represent them as an early form of trade-unionism. They would look after each other in hard times and collect money for those who had lost their trading pitches or were ill. They dressed to attract attention, and their wives became the "queens". This gradually morphed into a specific form of charity, one that still exists today in London. They are NOT rich or actual royalty in any sense, the clothing is deliberately showy but cheap, but is now just a signifier of this old-practice and carried on by it's descendants... 

     

    I guess the article is by someone equally ill-informed. If Behati is to "guard" anyone in this segment then it will still be Candice. From what I can see of her outfit it is an homage to the (British) Queen's Life Guard who are tasked with protecting Royal residencies; Candice is wearing the 'Royal Fantasy Bra' and now even has a natty little crown to perch sillily on her head! The Queen and a Pearly King/Queen are not in any way related.

     

     

    What VS might do with this is anyone's guess - and I have no idea about the segment's order obviously - but you are all barking up the wrong tree if you think this means some sort of grand entrance for Adriana proceeded by her minions! I hope this clear the outfit up?

    ...Irina Shayk to Miss the 2013 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show..

    Russian supermodel Irina Shayk, who is currently the lucky girlfriend of Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, is going to miss the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show because she chose to star in the upcoming movie Hercules, which also stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Right now, Irina is busy filming scenes for the movie. This is the very main reason why she just wouldn't be able to make it on the lingerie fashion show.

    It has been previously reported that Shayk will star on the said movie about five months ago. Shayk will play Megara, the first wife of Hercules. "I am so thrilled and honoured to say that I will be working with Brett Ratner on his new movie Hercules," said Shayk in June. Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet commented on his model-girlfriend first acting debut. The movie is set to be released on July 24, 2014. It is going to be based on the graphic novel of Admira Wijaya and Steve Moore, Hercules: The Thracian Wars.

    Aside from The Rock and Irina, the movie also stars Ian McShane who plays the role of Amphiaraus. Australian actor Stephen Peacocke also made the cut. Peacocke will play the role of Stephanos. Joseph Fiennes is also one of the casts. Brett Ratner is directing the film. Rattner has also directed the Rush Hour films, X-Men: The Last Stand, Tower Heist, and the Fox drama series, Prison Break.

    Could Irina be one of the models who shift their careers into acting? There is only one question that remains. Can models be good at acting too, like they do in modeling? There are models who became successful actresses too. Iman, Kim Basinger, Jaime King, and Elle MacPherson were just some of the models who became did well in acting. Let us give Irina a chance and check out her acting abilities when the movie comes out.

    I don't know why Barbara Palvin isn't mentioned in this article...And she is the great actress...I am pretty sure that she is playing the beautiful, young bride of John Hurt who plays The  King of Thrace and is the lead....Barbara Palvin...This is why he called her My Queen...or the elderly king dies leaving his young daughter The Queen.....Barbara Palvin...She plays royalty and is the lead so shy no mention in the article...So much for that silly speculation of the blink-and-you-miss-it role like Alessandra in 2006's Casino Royale when sh eis the lead...Irina is the Alessandra role...Barbara Palvin is probably the lead so I don't know why she wasn't mentioned...I knew her role was significant when Brett Ratner tweeted/Instagrammed that pic of Aldo Signoretti (three time nominated for the Academy Award for Makeup, the first time for his work in Moulin Rouge!) working with Barbara who is probably the lead...the main crew members  only work with the principal actors/actresses on  set...Not like Irina...their first ,second assistants  work with extras...Not Barbara Palvin....Barbara Plavin the lead....Plus Brett Ratner and Barbara are following each other on Twitter and Brett is re-tweeting all her Hercules related tweets....From photos and Tweets we know that she worked at least 1 million days incl today....

     

    Some other stuff about being the best and most beautiful....Victoria's fashion show....must be there....most fans and most beautiful....

     

    ...And she shouldn't be seen with Stella Maxwell....

  3. The back story behind the Headless Horsemen is kinda interesting.

     

    ^Apart from how they kept mixing up their horse references in the same episode. Is he on the white one or the pale one??? I've just watched the first three episodes and I'm liking it - the demon is actually creepy, and the make-up/special effects (particularly on John Cho) has been excellent!

  4.  

    I get where you’re coming from on that, but they’d never be able to find an actress to match Scarlet Witch’s physical appearance. Even by comic book standards, she was drawn in an exaggerated way that few on earth would be able to visually represent. 

    ^Ah, for a film world populated by buxom scantily-clad glamour models... Wait a sec - isn't that what B-movies are?!  :p

     

     

    Another thing that also bothers me with the casting for her is that it's rumoured that instead of being Romani/Jewish, Wanda will be British and I think that's another example of the white-washing in the Hollywood industry , particularly because Wanda is one of the main girls out of the Avengers comics, it's ignorant for Whedon to fit Hollywood standards.  :/

    ^She can still be Romani/Jewish and British - they aren't mutually exclusive. Plus, if you read the British tabloids you'd be convinced the place is being overrun with gypsies anyway!

     

     

    Aaron is a good actor, that is for certain, but he doesn't resemble enough of Pietro's characteristics, I could be wrong though since he might exceed my expectations (which aren't very high), but Aaron's too fragile for Pietro aswell, a lot of people including myself wanted Tom Felton for the role, he's got the bleach blonde hair already, has had plenty of experience of being both the nice guy in movies and in the other majority the asshole character (which is kind of like Pietro, considering he's bipolar henceforth this break downs in the comics). Also Paul Wesley I think would have been a suitable option, he resembles Pietro a lot :)

    ^Isn't Pietro's hair silver anyway, hence the nickname? For me it's a shame Evan Peters isn't in this instead of the next  X-Men movie, where I suspect he'll get far less screen-time than he'd probably get here. He can alternate from feeling sympathetic towards to being a dick pretty convincingly from what I've seen of him in American Horror Story.  (Y)

  5. ^In case you are unaware of the genesis of this outfit, it's an homage to the Stanley Kubrick film Eyes Wide Shut. For me that errs more towards creepy than sexy, but that's a good thing for Hallowe'en no?

     

     

    I'm not arguing anything, just stating something.

    ^It was another provocative statement - and by saying 'don't deny' you are actively encouraging an argument, so I'd sort your semantics out.

  6. Meaning more mainstream with her work, dude. Bigger campaigns, etc.

    ^Well that's not what you said... I mean we could argue about the relative merits of Elle(Italia) versus Elle(France), or why Vogue(Mexico) should be bigger than Vogue(Russia), or how Stefanel is a more prestigious campaign than say Princesse Tam-Tam or Seafolly - but I rather suspect we'd be quibbling and clutching at straws to justify something arbitrary. She's always done alright and been successful - it's entirely other people's shortcomings if they've only just noticed her through tangential reasons.

     

     

    And Zimbardi, I'm very fond of you too!  :gocho:

  7. 10 (JUST ABOUT) REASONS WHY IT'S OK TO RAG ON CANDICE

     

     

     

    post-11221-0-1446084433-77604_thumb.png

     

     

     

    It's pretty clear these days that you either hate Candice or are a moron, obviously. It's just the way it is... So why are we all suddenly down on the shy, farm-growing-upper, Brasil-loving "Angel", and why is it perfectly fine?

     

     

     

    • She's blonde (well, not really, but that's how we know her) and they ALL look the same
    • She's skinny and has no ass
    • She sticks her ass out all the time, even though she doesn't have one
    • All her VS pics look the same - unlike everyone else's that are so very different
    • She's not Adriana
    • She's a white South African, and who's going to be worried about hating on them?
    • She dressed up as a Geisha, VS didn't tell her too, she chose to do that and then laughed in the face of some Japs or something...
    • This one time she said 'finally' in a weird way
    • Ummm, she speaks slowly?
    • VS prefers her to your favourite model. And that's just WRONG
  8. Everyone say, "Thanks Adam Levine!" because that's obviously why she's getting work again. I'm not hating on her, I like her, but that's the truth. Don't deny.

    Again? :huh:  You mean as in (outside of the gossip/paparazzi sites) some VS work, a couple of other campaigns, some catalogue work, a couple of editorials plus accompanying covers this year? You know, like every other year since she's been on the scene (circa 2006)? So, yes, I WILL deny.

     

     

    Thank you all for the updates everyone... post-11221-0-1446071422-31712_thumb.gif

  9. I love how with Magda you can get naturally beautiful VS pictures in one post and then an edgy Vogue Japan editorial BTS in another. She truly is one of the most versatile girls.

    ^That's the truth if I have ever heard it.

    ^'Thirded' - not that it needed it, but I felt obliged..!  :hehe:

     

    Ben Watts has posted a new album on his facebook site, 'EndleSS suMMer in St. Barth'(sic), lots of Magdalena:

  10. You're just jumping on the conclusion because that's what you always do whenever Adriana is mentioned just to have a reason to talk shit about her or her fans. 

    ^That's not entirely true - I let a lot of things go! Either way it shouldn't be so easy...  :p

     

     

    You're still missing the point Baron. 

     

    The discussion is about the comment that Candice made, she did it, she's the one who made a comment that some people here didn't like. Alessandra & Adriana were just two examples for the situation. No one is saying Candice deserve the bra more or less than Adriana & Alessandra did this year, we're talking about her comment in the Fantasy Bra video. And then there's the fact that her fans have mentioned about a million times that she deserves the bra more than everyone else when she doesn't.

    ^Oh no, I get the point. Candice made an innocuous comment - that could be construed any number of ways - but it's suddenly been accepted that it was a slap in the face to Adriana and Ale. I'm not defending her as the choice, or what her comment could mean, and I'm completely with you on her fans - but actually neither party are claiming she 'deserved it more than' or 'worked harder than' on this thread at all:idk:  What there is is a supposition that there is, and these spurious justifications/retaliations as to why Adriana and Ale are better which have nothing to do with it - and I don't think that should just be left unchecked.

     

    Plus, latterly, "shady" responses have actually been made but they're all perfectly alright because they're by - well - guess who...

  11. make headlines, walked pregnant on the runway, lost both lost weight less than 4 months before the fashion show and are stars so they bring in more press

    ^What the hell has that got to do with it??? I NEVER said Candice works harder - you've said Adriana and Ale do. They are not doing that by the above statements. I've already acquiesced to them (Adriana at least) being more popular, but that's not the same thing...

     

    As for the pregnancy statement, unless you're saying that they were having kids for VS's sake then I don't get your point. That's a lifestyle choice, they're older and (probably) have a bigger and better portfolio to rest their laurels upon. It's not working harder - it's just tougher for them.

     

     

    And - for the umpteenth time - I don't "hate" Adriana. I just don't understand why everything is justified for her and demonised for everybody else. These arguments get more and more convoluted and ridiculous. I even think that the nutcases in Barbara Palvin's thread are just Limanati ringers, trying to draw attention away from the fact that the Lima fans are just as barmy as ever!  :gocho:

  12. No one is saying that Candice doesn't deserve the bra, but to say that she deserves it more than the other girls is plain bullshit because she sure works hard but so do Adriana, Alessandra, Erin, Behati and all the girls.

    ^No, apparently Adriana and Alessandra work harder - and make "sacrifices". :ermm:  So unless Candice wants to offer her first-born to the company then I'm just not accepting her having any presence on this year's show. 

  13. Yeah and I will always believe that adriana and alessandra still do work harder than her. They both (esp adriana) work alot for VS still. and not to mention the sacrifices(walking pregnant preparing for the show just 3 and 2 months after giving birth, that is kinda dangerous btw) they made and the headlines they have created,and ofcourse they sale. 

    I agree with you TKC,they both have two children and they both did a lot to make to the shows (Alessandra 2008, Adriana 2012) and they still love VS like from the first day and work hard after 13 years and it bothered so much to me when I was looking through the news-alerts and the tittles are "Meet the Queen of Victoria's Secret Fashion Show" like Really???Seriously? 

    ^What bullshit are you two peddling now?!?! Are you saying that in order to have any merit with the company at all that Candice has to outdo Adriana and Ale in some ludicrous game of one-upmanship that you've now deemed as necessary - and therefore has to knock out a couple of kids as dangerously close as possible (before or after) to the VSFS in order to "justify" wearing the fantasy bra?

     

    If you want to hear that Adriana is more popular than Candice then so be it: She is. You've won. But don't bother us with such fallacies to suit your latest complaints when it's patently clear that, whether you like her or not, Candice works a hell of a lot all year round for VS.
