^This is our moment in the sun - don't begrudge us that! Whether it's (somewhat patronisingly) the result of other brunette's unavailability due to pregnancy, or the Hosk PINK takeover and a sudden worry as to what to do with her - finally VS has given her a fair crack at the main line. That's all I ever wanted, if it falls flat then at least she was given a try. But she looks brilliant anyway - so yah boo sucks...

^Well, we've waited a long time for this! (Source: photoshoot.co.uk)

^Awww! That video is painfully adorable... Thanks. (Source: photoshoot.co.uk)

[Russell James says:] G'day! For the first time, this arvo, you fellas can ask ol' Russ a question on here. You know, like how a lucky bastard like me gets to take photos of sheilas in their underoos, not get arrested, and get paid - starve the lizards! It's not all like that though, photography is pretty hard yakka, and I gotta keep me hair beaut too. Anyway, ask away - hooroo...

+ Ben Watts!

More "backstage" from the Next shoot - via (respectively) the twitter accounts of Emanuela de Paula, Tracy Murphy and Tony Collins:

^That she is! But, again, she's short (5ft 5in) - and the kind of "modelling" she does is much more men's magazine than fashion (which is what VS is)...

+ Once again, some of the new VS shots aren't in the larger size - but (at the moment, I know this changes) are there in the smaller version:

^So it was for Next then... Here they are 'biggerer':

^I recall her doing much the same thing wherever there was the merest hint of a camera backstage at the 2005 VSFS! I took an instant dislike to her 'showboating' then - so, in a way, it's nice to know she's consistent all these years later... I don't know how "regular" Izabel's work is with them now? Selita and Karolina have walked the show afterwards, haven't they - I don't remember them being in the catalogue since though... Mind you, I'm still not sure Selita's aware she has been let go.

(Source: Ben Watts' Facebook) Shooting for Next again then, I guess..?

Super cute!

^ :trout:

^Yeah, Luisana started working as a model very young ('jailbait' doesn't begin to cover it!!!) - so she's been around longer than her years would suggest. She's highly revered at home though, not quite Eva Peron just yet, but time will tell... Want watch some ladies walking across a screen? Izabel: massive ham.

^See? Behati in non-PINK lingerie didn't result in a plague of locusts or anything did it?!

^Why of course I do! By dint of geographical necessity most of my girlfriends have been Argentino. I don't think this is probably the correct thread for such a discussion mind you, but I'm curious as to why you ask? In an attempt to get it slightly back on track though, I'd add that currently our models seem a little 'low rent' in comparison to VS fare. It's very much a "men's mag" market. Considering the amount of Brasileño success I don't know why... One of my most favourite models is Lais Navarro, and although she's technically from Brasil, her mother is from Argentina - and she has shot with VS, albeit briefly and 4 years ago now: It's a lonnng time since Inés Rivero had her "wings"...

Paucity In Personality?

Thank you all for the additions... (Source: Zimbio)

^I guess I will (although simply stating "end of discussion" when it suits you isn't exactly how such things work!), as it's fruitless to continue with somebody who has singularly failed to address either of the points I was actually arguing with you about - and, instead, is determined to erroneously focus on the right of "personal" opinion (which I agreed with anyway) whilst simultaneously making sweeping statements about what "everybody" likes and doesn't like!?? I haven't failed to address either of the points, I already made my point a bunch of time, just cuz I am not answering your question it doesn't mean I failed, I just move on and drop the conversation, you are the one that have failed to move on from this subject, you keep going on and on. ^So as well as not grasping the concept of arguing, clearly irony has passed you by too...
