I agree about Ashley, but I think they’ve kind of missed their chance with her and any other ‘bigger’ girls in the eyes of the public. It’ll come across as obvious pandering since their financial woes & lower-than-low ratings are common knowledge at this point, even among those who don’t follow the ins and outs of VS. Pretty much everyone knows that they’re a sinking ship ready to do just about anything to stay afloat- even hire girls they’d previously never think of giving a chance just because it’s ‘what the people want.’ I just think their transparent attempts won’t go over nearly as well as expected in the eyes of the public.
That being said, I hope they do give us some more body diversity this year, regardless of public opinion. It’s long overdue.
