^Awww, are you just sad that she's not with her husband anymore?!?!
First ever VSFS (Egyptian theme, DUH!) ...I think yes!^Yes, and that's Heidi wearing the wings...
-
Apparently there were some issues with that problematic post (#6468), so I'll repost the offending shot here - now you get it three times in thumbnail you lucky people!
-
^For some reason I can't edit the above post - maybe it's me needing to familiarise myslef with the controls again, but every time I try to change it around I just get kicked out of BZ (as a member, that is) and then have to sign back in again???
Anyway, as I'm sure you can see, one of the pictures is repeated, it should be this one instead:
Apologies for it looking messy, I do so like to keep a clean ship!
And nice to see a sneaky video of Paris too, thank you Ewciolina... (Y)

Jaja, I was right - immediately more browser goodness:
-
+ More from Paris (via celebrity-gossip.net):
+ New from the browser (I suspect a drip-feed again today!):
-
wow, the pics form Paris are awesome, I can't wait to see the finish production.
I found this pic from the Wang backstage show
^Yeah, but then the ad will come out and there'll be 0.2 seconds of frantically edited footage of Behati...
Well, it's best to expect the worst anyway!I was so happy to see that she was at Alexander Wang, I first saw her waaay back in 2007 at a Stella McCartney show and have always loved her runway. I found these unposted pictures on StyleBistro, and then brand new from Models.com:

Welcome back Baron! This thread is not the same without you
^
This, and new VS - it sure feels like Christmas! Thanks Michellexo and LE GATOR (and behoti for the twitpics)...Looks like the "Victoria" fragrance look is getting a dust off for this new Paris ad. I'd say this kind of get-up is her forte, so I'm glad they're reviving it:
-
PS. Fun to see you back after such a dramatic exit ;D
^Well if it's not dramatic then what's the point?!
-

I hope it'll be like this here everyday!
More then, much of a muchness but whaddya gonna do? :blueeyedbaby: These are courtesy of Savanna and gisellebach (and, more pertinently, Le Matin):

Oh, JazzyJas - those bones are the business!
NIce to see this thread in good health...
New Cover! Numero Tokyo October 2013
^The editorial is here now! Shot by Sofia&Mauro (and via Fashion Gone Rogue):

So what I'm getting at is that she has been playing for a long time but it wasn't until recently that she moved up to the big leagues. For the longest time she was kinda more like a PINK spokesmodel since she was left out of most of the major things where the Angels appear together.
Yes she has had some great moments this past year (even outshadowing others) but has she really been such a breakout star or would the Fantasy Bra go to her (if she gets it) largely because of who she is or isn't with.
^So what exactly does one have to do to earn the 'Fantasy Bra' otherwise then (no sniggering)? And what the hell constitutes a 'breakout star'?
I mean, Selita (Lawd bless her soul) wore it in 2007 despite seemingly being wildly unpopular, and Marisa wore it in 2009 - both had only walked the previous two shows and had much more recent contracts in comparison to Behati now. Karolina the same (in fact she even wore the bra without "Angel" status in 2002), yet Ale had to wait 8 years. Behati has had a contract since 2008, and is currently the 4th longest-serving "Angel". She's been walking outside of the PINK segment since the 2010 show, and has been appearing in the 'grown up' part of the catalogue for even longer. What more do you want? You might prefer Candice or Doutzen (who haven't had it yet), and they might still well get it - but that's no basis for anything.
Of course people will bring up Captain Smug and his underwhelming brand of MOR crap-pop being the reason for any career-boost Behati gets now - but then people bring up all manner of shit on this thread, and we just have to wade through such nincompoopery most every page sadly.

Awww, love a love-in!
Hooray - grainy 'pap' shots of the VS Paris shoot. These ones are via GossipCenter:
And some more via The Daily Mail:
So far, so moonlit night in the 'City of Light' and nary an explosion to be seen...

... ... ... Hot Off The Press! Sometimes models don't want to talk to you after a show!
Yes - news comes to us that after finishing their work, a person paid to do a job just wants to leave the premises and not interact with a bunch of strangers clamouring for their attention. It might seem strange to you, but this is quite normal behaviour for the majority of people across the world but, remarkably, has only become common knowledge in the last 24 hours.
Just picture the scene: you leave work via the back door and see your friends - you also see a various mix of people you've never seen before and know nothing about. Who would you rather go to?
... ... ... News Flash! Models don't always look perfect.
ANOTHER BOMBSHELL. Occasionally (hard to believe I know) models wear make-up and get their hair done by professionals for shoots. They also get given clothes to wear and told how to look in front of cameras. Amazing isn't it? At other times of the day they don't necessarily do so, and might be required to put clothes they've chosen on, and might not even wear make-up!!! What's up with that? Why can't they look perfect all the time like Barbara Palvin? Madness...
Just picture the scene: You leave work via the back door after being poked and prodded by a hundred stylists for several hours. what would you rather do - go through it all again to appease some stalkers, or just clean it all off and pull a hood over your head?
... ... ... Extra! Extra! Your favourite model isn't necessarily everyones.
Hard to even fathom, I know, but sometimes your favourite model won't get the job you want them to because another model got it instead. Yes, it might be one of those ratty, ugly ones, that you can't believe got that job - but then aren't they all ratty and ugly when they're not your favourite? Or one of those other ones you like, but just not quite as much? Or even one of those you don't mind? Or even one of those indifferent ones. BUT NOT ONE OF THE ONES YOU DON'T LIKE. What the hell is that about - you don't like her so how the hell did they get the job???
Just picture the scene: A campaign comes up for, well, anything and what's the best way forward? a.) several casting directors and the brand's management have a meeting and decide what would be the best way forward for the brand to go and therefore decide what model or models to choose; or b.) your rants and raves at your computer whilst inadvertently playing with yourself and bemoaning the lack of justice in this world as your favoured model hasn't got the gig you wanted them to makes any difference?
... ... ... Hey! Idiots! The wings don't really work either...
No, those "Angels" can't even fly. Losers! *Sigh* Wouldn't it be easier if every model was just that one that you like?

Clean sheet ahead...

+ I must say THANK YOU to all those who might have missed me! It's nice to see messages here, and PMs from cecileett, rha_amorim, Mahi and Zimbardi - plus ILUV(whoever that may presently be!
) and Jennka. 
I had to come back for the 2 millionth hit on this thread, and to celebrate this full-on fantastic Elle editorial. I gather a lot has changed around here since I left (
), and although I've never been much interested in models' private lives anyway my only major disappointment with it all is that Behati's playing golf!?! :shock: That's hardly 'rock and roll' now, is it? 
Nice to meet all the new members posting here too, I'm sure...
-
And, I suppose, a bunch of missed (or not full sized maybe) new and newish VS pictures for shits and giggles:
-
Then there's this video - shot by Liz Collins, although it doesn't seem to be related to her recent Vogue(Nippon) 'beauty' shoot. It only appeared a couple of months ago though (and now it's finally here!):
-
Plus a complete behind-the-scenes shoot of the recent Stefanal campaign, via Vanity Fair(Italia):
-
Ta-da!
The full editorial (+ covers) in glorious HQ, shot by Matt Jones:

There is, of course, always more out there. Just 9 times out of ten it's here first, and then it's everywhere with no reference to this conduit. These are extra shots for the current Esprit underwear campaign by Dan Martensen - only small I'm afraid:
Whilst these ones are from their upcoming 'Simply Body' range, which is due for release in July - so I'm sure (providing someone can be bothered) you'll find more and bigger then. These are, I believe, shot by Dario Catellani. The last one certainly is as it's via his website:
Also J.Crew updated their website last week with new 'Swim' plus a new catalogue a few days ago now, but then you didn't find them yourself:
'Swim':
Catalogue (April):
Anyway, Maggie, Dessollié and JamieLeah, Listal will have to do without mine - not that you ever mentioned it. And hurricane93 elsewhere - have some manners! And all you TeamBehati "#1 Fans" maybe remember where you found stuff, and don't just lift my credits as they often don't make sense out of context...
And not that I want to dismiss VS, it's just there is more. But this place will look like tFS soon enough, just with added twitpics. These are via the VS and VSX Facebook pages, plus a picture that that old 'browser scan' trick just won't pull up:
Well, that's me done here - off my stoopid high-horse and away into the sunset...

^Which it was - unless you are implying that arguing about a post about a post on this thread isn't appropriate? In which case you are as guilty of that right here. Please bear in mind that my discussion didn't even involve you - rather it was you who decided to enter into it with a sneering remark that showed just as much ignorance to my query as with the member I was talking with...In this case "official" clearly means that if you wanna talk about VS-related things on bellazon, this is the thread to do it, and not in the (let's say) "SI swimsuit"-thread. Got it?
^And there is that sneering remark again! And "Good boy"?!?!yes, you finally got it right. Good boy
Well, back to "things that actually relate to VS"
Nice. I'm glad to see you put in the hours at the 'Higher Institute For Patronising' (yes, I went there too - got a merit!).But, if what you purport, is to be the intellectual level of discussion on this thread - Re (my pastiche):
Probably not, but you're wrong - because she's the best at everything, and is waaay better than any other model. In fact, she's the only "real" Angel, the others are skinny/not sexy/not connecting with the public/aren't real women/just shit or 'there are too many' or 'were better in the old days' - and I don't even know why (hmmm, I don't know, today let's say) Erin is an Angel as she's got the face of a bulldog chewing a wasp. She makes blind kids cry...- then I am better off out of it. I've long since suspected (in my snobbish manner
) that I was probably superior to the denizens that clutter this place up - and Tarzaan speaking for my gender yesterday, or tuesdaybrunch's in-depth and delicate handling of pedophilia (#5922) - only reinforces that. There is hope, what with the recent banning of pot-stirrers, and Prettyphile referencing a moral-crusade; but if you want to drag it back to pointless speculation about who VS should kick out according to your own prejudices VSfan88, then I won't stand in your way any longer.

20. Would you be a fellow ninja with me?
Yes. I want you and I to ninja into Baron's casa.
I heard drugs & Behati and French actress are in the basement...

You know, it cracks me up to see 'Old World' (particularly British) people talk about ethnography and genetic history from 3,000 years ago. It's all little more than 'informed' speculation at best. The history of the 'Welsh' 'Sicilians' or some Germanic tribe...ROFL! Everyone is a mongrel- and that's what I believe!
I've seen a lot of Japanese and Korean people and they do look different so they can't be that similar. Koreans are definitely taller, for instance. I know little about their pop culture figures and models but I did like "Lee Hyori". There are pretty K-pop stars but I haven't checked in a decade...
But to be direct, I would really like to see if they have models and a stock of talent that can compare to the top models that we are interested in right now. Women that pass the standards for appearing in Vogue & elite runways, for instance.

^Here, you can see it in this picture:
I believe it just says my name over and over again, although I could be mistaken...
The Miranda question you'd be better off asking over on her thread, as I'm sure they've been in fits of apoplexy regarding all that business. As for Behati wearing the bra, well there seems to be good odds on it, but it is still just a rumour as of now.
