Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2009 (POST-SHOW Thread)
Alright for starters Abbey was alright in the first walk, afterwards she came off as rather fake, a little bit to out there and completely off kilter. I know you're all saying she was the highlight of the show but I really have to disagree. As for her first walk all it did was make a terrible outfit half decent and bring about a little bit of energy, let's not jump the gun people she's not the next angel and if she is VS execs should be shot... my opinion, feel free to disagree. As for the rest of the show, the editing again was rather sloppy, they tried a bit to hard to coincide things with the beat of the music, which wasn't a horrible choice as far as some of their musical selections have been but it was far from the best. Nothing was really memorable, the model search was irritating at best, obnoxious and all rather pointless, it's a girl we will doubtless never hear or see anything on again. She got her 5 minutes... they just got dragged out over the course of an hour. 90% of the outfits translated much better on the runway, which leads me to believe that a great deal of the pictures we have are from the first filming, and they did makeup touchups and adjustments where the problem issues were as a correction. A pleasant surprise this year was Julia Stegner, someone I have in past years screamed about being to thin for vs. She has put on a bit of weight and goddamn she looked good, and the outfit, (aside from the horrendous color) wasn't half bad. Miranda's outfits while cute had to much hype, and I'll stick to it were not that great. They were simple lingerie pieces badly put together with horrendous accent pieces. That gold neck piece on the black outfit... just tacky. The forward kiss, (looks like she's going to topple over) with the clockwork wings was done last year and it worked about as well then as it does now, (not at all) and her pink bow just looked like it was either going to stab her in the crotch or the ass.. take your pick. Isabeli's little dance in the back was cute, not over done and rather sexy, (I am currently trying to convince Pretty I need a new avatar) and her black outfit was both memorable, simple and had no stupid little additions that made me stare. The pink segment wasn't atrocious, though the one girl I believe Dorthea should probably stick to high fashion. All in all I wasn't super impressed but I wasn't super disapointed... Guess my expectations of VS have just been lowered so much by the last 2 years that I don't watch the show expecting much.

Joe... there's 15 outfits that can nominally considered to have wings, less if you exclude headpieces that flair out wide enough to be wings or things that consist of 1 or 2 feathers poking off the shoulder. If headpieces and trains are included there are more.. but here ya go. Star Trooper Alessandra Ambrosio - Kinda Maryna Linchuk All Aboard Douzen Kroes Pink Planet Behati Prinsloo Erin Heatherton Enchanted Forest Miranda Kerr Izabel Goulart Candice Swanepoel Abbey Lee Kershaw Caroline Trentini Romantic Journey Marisa Miller Miranda Kerr - Kinda Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Alessandra Ambrosio - Kinda Doutzen Kroes - Kinda I can send you images of each 'wing' but some of those I would probably exclude if I were you. Regardless this section of the comp you can basically fill in yourself. Just grab a front and back shot of each set of wings and go from there.

Flavia - Remove the hat and you have an adorable outfit. Angela - Probably one of the sexier outfits. Beautiful detailing, not to simple and far from overdone. Miranda(blue) - Granny panties = fail. Honestly not a terrible outfit but without the wings it's nothing special. Miranda(white) - It's cute but it's altogether rather boring.

That annoys the heck outta me too! Adriana is not the be all, end all of the modeling world. And I can't for the life of me understand why every girl with pretty eyes (blue/green like you said) has to automatically be compared to her. Its possible that Adriana will be remembered as an icon but forreal, all the "she's the next Adriana" and "she's no Adriana" talk about every new pretty-eyed girl is getting old! End of rant Thanks for the new scans Prettyphile and Natia I was the one who on the previous page basically said to take the comparisions and go away? There is no reason to mention Adriana or Megan here.. reitoration.. but there you have it.

Behati Prinsloo
She may have only got one outfit, but no one missed it not unless they were blind and couldn't see a wall 4 stories high.. Suck on that girls who got 3 outfits lol.

Ok seriously the discussion of Adriana vs Emily vs Megan needs to go the f*ck away. If you're not a fan don't post. If you just came here to bitch because you're an Adriana fan and people have compared the two due to her picking up the Maybelline campaign that Adriana dropped go away... this isn't the thread for it and I honestly don't want this to turn into a Bar Rafaeli thread... that place makes my head hurt. btw the people at 'The Block' should seriously get someone else to bind their magazines. It's half sewn with a shitty glue job added in.. BIGGEST pain in the ass to take apart
