Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2009 (POST-SHOW Thread)
Segment 2 - All Aboard - Reminds me of grandma's closet Doutzen Kroes - Her body is a built thick but I think that's more because those of us who frequent these boards have become so jaded to what is acceptable and healthy that we put those girls who have a naturally healthy look as being on the plus size. No this is average. As to the outfit, it's rather blande - the wings were a cute concept but I don't really think they have any cohesive quality when it comes to the segment. Chanel Iman - Umm... body suits while great for making an outfit look oustanding, (they do these marvelous little nips and tucks naturally and smooth out all those troublesome spots) should not be worn quite so... flamboyantly? Julia Stegner - While I'm not a huge fan of the color I do like this outfit. Do I think Julia can really pull it off - no not really but the outfit works. Edita Vilkeviciute - I like the outfit but it looks like she's playing dress-up with mother's or grandmother's clothing. She just doesn't have the presence to pull this off. Isabeli Fontana - Very simple bra and panty set, cute heels, the feathery-ish drape works. She pulls off the outfit perfectly, looking classy and a bit regal. Ana Beatriz Barros - The outfit is fine, until we look at the jacket - wtf vs.. wtf. Again she doesn't have the presence to pull it off, looking like a 30 year old housewife playing dress-up in grandma's old clothes. Sessilee Lopez - I don't mind it, though I think it's more the colors then anything. Black and red for the most part are quite asthetically pleasing to the eye. On closer inspection the bra is a mess and looks cheap, and the pin holding the sash up is rather tacky. Marisa Miller - I LOVE this outfit. Million dollar bra - Check Simplicity - Check. This showcases what is meant to be showcased, the bra and beautiful lingerie. Caroline Winberg - I'm exceptionally apathetic towards this outfit. Nothing stands out for or against it other then it's rather bulky nature around the midsection and through the hips. Lindsay Ellingson - ''Hey little sister -- It's a nice day for a white wedding" It's not terrible but it's far from great. Aminata Niaria - She looks like a bloody hooker. Pardon my language but seriously. She looks like she should be standing on a corner going "5 dolla sucky sucky?" Rosie Huntingon-Whitely - I'm rather mixed when it comes to this outfit - not torn either way, altogether very meh. Overall opinion on the segment - 7/10 The outfits were not bad however the models didn't have the presence to pull them off with the exception of Isabeli and Marisa.

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2009 (POST-SHOW Thread)
Disclaimer - This is my personal opinion, none of you need agree with what I think, but here it is. I have to say that if Victoria's Secret continues it's trend towards High Fashion models I will not continue to watch the show, nor will I purchase subscriptions to sites in effort to get pictures to share. Victoria's Secret is one of the biggest fashion shows in the world, (or at the very least the most televised) and while in previous years they had a well rounded crop of girls most of whome had healthy looking bodies they have taken to picking up high fashion models and throwing them on the runway. Personally I don't think it's alright that they are marketing this as sexy. You have teenagers and young adults watching this - it's televised for the world, (or at least the United States/North America) and they are in essence saying this is sexy, this is what you should look like. Bring out Adriana, bring out Heidi, Doutzen... please. We all, (myself included) have said these girls look thick, but they are healthy, fit girls and that is what we should be endorsing and marketing to today's youth.. not these emaciated, sunken looking girls who look 'decent', (and I use that term very loosely) if we throw enough make-up on them. I'm not saying that woman who are naturally small can't wear lingerie and aren't sexy, far from it. What I'm saying is that high fashion girls, some of which are not naturally as petite as they come across should not be thrown into a nationally televised program that markets to a younger audience and totes out the line 'this is sexy'. We need to send a healthier message to the kids, and to those girls who already have self esteem/body issues because of today's marketing campaigns. Segment One - Star Trooper Alessandra Ambrosio - It's a cheap knock-off on Adriana's outfit from 2003 in the Sexy Super Heroines Segment. However Alessandra does NOT have the legs to pull it off whereas Adriana did. Not to mention whomever thought that orange and pink went together on this scale should be shot. Between the orange tan, the orange half star and the mish-mash of streamers my eyes are bleeding. Miranda Kerr - Cute outfit until we look at the fact that the plastic bow piece she's wearing looks rock hard. - "Oh Orlando I really shouldn't bend over." "Don't worry Miranda it'll feel good I promise." Just no. Maryna Linchuk - The premise of the outfit is fine. however Maryna is so bottom heavy she doesn't do it justice. Her face is almost to hard and the way the wings need to be held so stiffly by her just looks silly. Caroline Trentini - The high waisted panty isn't high enough to be demure and not low enough to be sexy, it's one of those cuts girls like to wear at that special time of the month none of us want to talk about. Couple that with 'power ranger' shoulders and a wierd skirt and the outfit falls flat. Izabel Goulart - Surreally sexy anyone? Not to mention we've all preached about how sweaters do not belong on the runway of a lingerie show.. sweater fabric, high amount of coverage - OFF with the sweaters. Liu Wen - Simple bra and panty, why ruin it with abstract art? Candice Swanepoel - I hate asymmetry especially in clothing. Those shirts with one shoulder, or those skirts that drape further down on one side always make a person look lopsided or chunkier then they actually are. She is stuck between oompa loompa and ziggy stardust. Abbey Lee Kershaw -First her expression, (no I am not a fan, no I do not think she belongs here, no I do not think she's a great model) second I'm a big fan of bondage but this is taking it just a little to far. It went out of the realm of sexy into the realm of scary. Selita Ebanks - Translated better to the runway then I expected however it still falls far short of something that deserves to be in a lingerie show. Erin Heatherton - She's stuck between a space man and a hair salon. Either cover her entire face in the astronouts bubble or throw some hair rollers in. The outfit is horrendous at best. Please VS do not look to Lady Gaga for inspiration. Anja Rubik - Big shoulders went out in the 80's please leave them there. Overall opinion on the segment - 3/10

Battle of the Bods
Joe it's find and dandy to put those girls up against each other in a side by side shot but you're judging them based on the 'height' of their career. I like Miranda but her body has always seemed to petite I feel uncomfortable giving her higher scores for her body still due to the fact that half the time when you look at her, (especially when her body was at it's alleged best) she bears a strong resemblence to a 12 year old with an overly developed body. Petra was always a woman, and I'm quite sure that her personality and what not colored at least my votes. However I also strongly feel that she had the better body, at least in her heyday. Eva 6 - Not really my cup of tea.

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2009 (POST-SHOW Thread)
Roflmao I you to an umpteeth degree. That made my morning/night/day. Somebody seriously needs to put that in voice and post a clip, it's perfect. Her outfit was adorable, but I'm sure we all would have appreciated it more if her butt was the one being flashed and not the girl none to show. Also I'm going to disagree with a number of you, I'm not a fan of Abbey I don't think she suits the brand, her teeth frighten me as does her hunchy posture. Behati while a number of you may say has a plain face just does it way more for me. I realize she's the face of pink but let her branch out.. have more then one outfit... She's hot, cute, adorable and has more energy then half the girls out there without seeming over the top or idiotic imo.. All subjective of course.. but there's my two cents.. Again Baron lots of love, that was perfect!

Jade that's bordering on model bashing.. The puppy is cute, but there are a number of people who think Behati is adorable.

No one has won the model search yet, it's down to Kylie and Jamie Lee. You can vote up until the 23rd so chances are both girls were filmed, one for each filming and whoever wins will be put into the show aired on December 1st.

o.0 I was scrolling down and I saw the backside of Miranda's outfit and I honestly thought it was a 12 year old and was like... uh... I like Miranda but what the hell... I don't know if it's the camera angle, the lighting.. or just the outfit. The front is cute, but the backside is leaving me staring.

It's called falling out in video.. I doubt they dished out the money to photoshop like a 3 minute clip. I'm not denying she looks good, but I prefered when she was falling out of the bra over.. sagging into the bra.

She used to fill that bra out a helluva lot more then she is on the runway She used to practically be falling out of it.. what happened?
