They need to stop gearing towards something practical and more towards something fantastical. Let's be honest two of the highest ranked bras according to popular opinion were 2004 and 2005, worn prospectively by Heidi and Gisele. They weren't practical, (taking aside the fact that they were encrusted in gems) the bra itself was not practical to wear outside of a fantasy. VS needs to stop using an actual bra template, (generally the one they're trying to hawk for the year) and start going back to something we can have whimsical thoughts about. The bra truly reminds me of something we might see in the pink section, with sparkles added on, (the cheap variety, not the expensive kind). Something that would appeal to a 13 year old getting their very first bra, taking aside the cut, (which no self respecting parent would allow a 13 year old to wear). It gives cleavage to girls who have never even heard of concept of it.

^Hopefully that's for the pink section.. otherwise it'll be way to kitschy.

I'm not sure what everyone is seeing that I'm missing, but the cropping of the picture is horrific, the lighting is bland, the pose is cliche and overdone not to mention boring.. and Isabeli has looked better. 0.1

^not a fan of Adriana, but I have to admit based on launches the numbers that showed up correspondingly for different models kind of points to the fact that Adriana and Alessandra are crowd favorites. both girls are not on my list of favorites but they will probably garner more crowd support then Candice, Erin or Chanel, or any of the other girls at this moment taking aside Rosie, (though even that is debatable).

^subjective, I think Josie is much better looking then Doutzen.. and has more versatility.. and more then one facial expression

Josie Maran x3 <--- fact is her face STILL looks that good.. Doutzen's lookin' a bit rough around the edges Edita Vilkeviciute x3 Emily Didonato x3 Petra Nemcova x3

^I like that picture, Erin and Adriana look amazing, and Chanel who is still, (at least in my eyes) a representative of the Pink line fits perfectly. Go back circa 2004 when Alessandra was the pink girl and she acted the exact same way.

1.5 each

^what are those for? Obviously VS, but is it a launch, a photo shoot? or are those indicative of what the fashion show is going to look like this year?

^and Adriana is any different? Or Alessandra, or Tyra when she was around, or Izabel, or Stephanie Seymour or even Gisele to some extent. They all do it, which leads me to believe it's what VS wants... God knows why, I think the base levels of stupidity that are displayed at these events/launches just needs to stop. There's nothing sexy about the over exaggerated poses and facial expressions. At the last launch the only girl who seemed to have it together and came across as classy was Erin. These women, (yes I said women) not girls need to start acting closer to their age. VS caters to teens yes but it also sells to women 20+ and most women that age do not want to see someone acting like they just hit puberty and have discovered boys. As for Candice coming across as shy, maybe you're seeing something I'm not but she's always come across as rather to be perfectly blunt stupid. Keep in mind this is just personal conjecture, but Candice's cutesy tee-hee-hee *twirl hair* air headed shyness comes across about as well as Adriana parting her lips to give us her sexiest blow up doll pose. Honestly, I'm about as impressed with VS these days as I am with Emily D.

^and Candice is any better?
