^I aim to keep this thread customarily spiky and surly - so I almost feel bad by being sentimental and 'warm and fuzzy' over this lovely little tribute (thank you 'kiki)!Oh, hell, "aaaaaw" it is Jennka! Break out the '' emoticon:

^I guess we've got the best people for the job then?! Really Lindsay? This is neither the time nor place for blonde supremacy:

^ ^And from backstage too (slightly bigger than post #3585):

^I know what you mean (certainly this year the PINK section just seems to be variations on a theme) - but I do love me a superheroine! ^I knew they were out there!!! Many thanks again, always good to see the nuances of her walk... Paltry by comparison(!), but vspressroom.com has released some HQs too:

^There's an accompanying video here: http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2011/11/lul...on-unwerth.html Via nymag.com, obviously! (Y)

Not that we should dwell on her non-appearance or anything - but this was a missed opportunity: (Source: Victoria's Secret Pink Facebook)

why is it her last show? did her contract with vs end or something.. Could be. And they only gave her one look this year, which sucks. ^What will be will, es lo que hay, but she didn't write that - the tweet was: "Getting ready for the last #vsfashionshow", not 'MY' last. I would imagine it's in reference to the fact that they do two recordings (plus a rehearsal), so no need for panic just yet... ^Guess she doesn't read our forum then?

^That's all? I think we require more than that! Via Victoria's Secret Pink Facebook:

^So, a girl of good taste too! Looking forward to that then, like last year's Katy Perry/Firework number... (Source: ELLE.com)

^Via Ben Watts Photo Inc - It's for VS too!

^Yeah - you can see her knick-nacks and everything... Forgive me Facoquer, but I don't really understand your point? I mean, given the event, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to! + Backstage via WWD:

Look Joe, I came here for you..! Dream 8 VS Angels of Current Prospects: Behati Prinsloo Magdalena Frackowiak Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Marloes Horst Cintia Dicker Chanel Iman Lais Navarro Maryna Linchuk (It would probably be a very different VS altogether, and maybe not simpatico with the US lingerie buying general public - but in this scenario I'm a crazy millionaire indulging my predilections and surrounded by yes-men!) Top 8 All-Time Dream VS Angels: Helena Christensen Angie Everhart Devon Aoki Karen Carreño Anouck Lepere Oluchi Onweagba Susan Eldridge Inguna Butane (In their respective primes this 'all bases covered' team would kick ass! Might as well be my 'All-Time' personal harem too, really...) Fantasy Bra Wearer: BEHATI! Why the hell not - I'm boss. SI Cover: Don't know much about this but, given the aesthetic and a dose of patriotism, I'm going for the great Valeria Mazza!

^Really? Nobody's concerned about this? Lady says she'll be there and isn't and no one thinks to check that she's OK? Good job I'm being proactive... You people should be ashamed! Please print and put up around your town:

(I'm going to post this on the discussion thread too, for those who think they're above this thread! Selita must be found...)

(Probably brief) Respite from the VSFS, but not VS completely - new PINK:

^Now in super HQ, from vspressroom.com:

^'Puff piece' via marieclaire.com. As you can probably work out for yourselves, they asked 11 other models the same questions:If you could describe how you're feeling today in one word, what would it be? It's two words: nervous and excited at the same time! How does the casting for the Victoria's Secret show compare to that of a high fashion show like Chanel or Vuitton? Usually you go in, they give you a pair of underwear and you do your walk in front of a bunch of people — it's quite nerve-wracking! I don't have to do it anymore, thank goodness, but they probably see 200 or 300 girls. It's a long process, but they always pick amazing girls and it's such a great experience and opportunity to be here. You're an Angel today, but what's your most sinful indulgence? Sugar! I love dark chocolate — I could eat it 'til I puke. I also love a good cheesy movie, and I'm kind of addicted to my computer. If you could walk down the runway to any song ever, what would it be? Maybe something by the White Stripes or some good soul. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? "Let's party!" Finally, which is cuter: Ryan Gosling or a puppy? Ryan Gosling, for sure. Oh my God! Ryan, call me!

No problem - I'm an enthusiastic archiver! As for that tweet, I admit I did a double-take too...Backstage photos by Ashley Jahncke, via Fashionista: + Craig Arend, via nymag:

Random observations that occurred last night (with due deference to Prettyphile): Suffer with unsightly glitterball hemmorrhoid problems? Tired of lugging around late 70's nightclub accoutrement bum-piles? Then you need DISCO CREAM: What the hell is this - VS Burkas? Tapping into that lucrative Islamic-lingerie market? Pah! Who needs Cintia when you can have Anja? Job lot of umbrellas - buy 2 get 3rd free. Seems a shame to waste 'em... File under: UNDIGNIFIED. If you're going to defecate on the runway could you please have the good grace not to do so whilst Behati is walking beside you. This is most off-putting... "Welcome to my magical lady-garden!" "Hey, Erin? Erin! Erin! You see that girl, Anne? Yeah..? Yeah I'm like TOTALLY tapping that. Sweet as, man! Yeah. Hey! Hey, you wanna maybe come around after too Erin? Yeah - we're staying over the road. Room 221. You cool with that? Anne like let's me have sex with her and EVERYTHING! Yeah, gonna buy me some beers too. Got an ID. SWEEET! No? No, Erin? OK, cool... Yeah I'm cool with that. Yeah. OK... I'm gonna get me some anyway Erin. Yeah... Beers and sex... Yeah... Yeah - fuck you Erin... FUCK YOU! Whatever."
