  1. Each truly successful model they've had wasn't "made" in the catalog. It's the girls on the runway that have that moment. Hit that stride, nail that turn. They temporarily blow up the Internet with the rush of "who's that girl!?" Gisele had the walk that made everyone stare. Tyra had the personality that made her a star. Adriana had it in Cannes when she hit the end of the runway and turned with that super sultry look. Alessandra had it when she walked out in 2003 with the thigh high metal boots, and further solidified it in 2005 with her sexy Santa. Miranda and her 2006 white outfit with the little mittens. there was a rash of people questioning who she was. She was super cute. Candice, hit it with her sexy snow bunny outfit in 2007. Everyone wanted to know who she was. Doutzen, never hit that stride, Izabel never did, Selita never did. Even Rosie, in her transition from model to actress back to model, never had a wow moment. Girls like Lindsay, Erin, Lily, Karlie haven't hit that moment. They're beautiful women, cute girls, have great spokesmodel abilities, but they haven't sparked any collective interest on a massive scale. Don't look at the catalog girls, they're a dime a dozen. I mean, the next Adriana, Tyra or Gisele may come from catalog, but she'll have her moment on the runway, when a massive audience collectively sits back and asks who, while simultaneously saying wow.
  2. In their heydey yes, they had personality and presence, but it's getting more and more lackluster.
  3. 1. How long should a VS Angel/Supermodel remain with the brand before they leave for greener pastures? 4-6 years tops, preferably 4-5 especially considering they barely brand the new girls anymore before cycling them out to begin with. 2. How many Angels should there be in total? There is currently 8-9? 6-8, preferably 6, but if they go with the higher number a more diversified cast. not 4 blonds, 3 of which are interchangeable to the general public. 3. How many years should a model be able to walk the VSFS before they can no longer. New blood is always nice. Again 5 years is a nice number. 4. How long should the PINK spokesmodel remain in PINK before she's either fired, or moved to mainline? Why should pink girls be transitioned into main line at all? They have separate stores, separate websites. They are initially marketed one way, only to be re-branded into a new image. I get that we have our favorites, and girls like Elsa and what not would be great to see in main line, but it gets a bit old. If they do transition them 2 years pink, 1 year transition, 2-3 years mainline, then drop them as an angel and look for someone new. This is the age of consumers, and the young people have a spastic attention span. Again they aren't branding these girls like they used to, or maybe the girls aren't making the effort to brand themselves, either way, the only ones who currently having the staying power are Adriana and Alessandra, with the possibly inclusion of Candice, but Enough is enough, 10 years is a good long stretch, more then enough time.
  4. Meeeee toooo..Two reasons this is my happiest year ending for years - 2. No Cara & her 'rumoured' overrated peers (Kendall & Gigi of course) 1. NATASHA Not even remotely psycho, just a young lady mocking a situation and having fun while doing it. I'm sure in your hyperactive moods you've all made stupid faces too... we all have. Waiting for the denial. Models have to be super serial serious all the time. BAD CARA! Umm this is the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, not a circus. Cara looked like an idiot with the attention span of a 4 year old not a Victoria's Secret model. if you want to get technical....
  5. Wonder who watched Barbarella or She'ra before they started drawing..
  6. I like ponies but their walk doesn't belong on the runway
  7. I didn't see that.. OMG siemgi we're on the same level! See Pretty, he's amazing!
  8. Savvy, stop being a negative Nancy, it'll be perfect, just like Behati's opening, the capes Adriana and Alessandra will have, and the blue pompoms that Isabeli will fling from side to side at the end of the runway.
  9. Oh... that hurt only half a heart? And hey, Adam and Behati had their video together.. they could recreate that moment on the runway! Just picture it.. hanging corpses, blood, and lots of gold. Oh and camera flashes. I can see it now.
  10. You are not my overlord, I will not bow down to you, jimmies are not rustled.. FAILURE. and in other news, I hope Karlie stays red for the show, it looks pretty snazzy.
  11. Only in your head panda... only in your head. I'm sorry to say the rest of the world is not included in your flights of fantasy, god complexes and narcissism. I know it's hard to accept, but they really aren't up there with these big dreams you have.
  12. HORRIBLE MUSIC... HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE MUSIC. How much do I need to stress this to you. Just because you dream up this crap does not mean it would be good.
  13. Still terrible.. you're not selling it to me.
  14. Fuck you panda.. and your shitty music taste...
  15. I see it, like a younger version.. then again I also watched the series... and own it so I have a bit more reference material then 3 pictures panda
  16. If VS follows the trend they have of using the same shoes in each segment... One of these ones is not like the other ones.
  17. That is a very common, very childish thought. It's not just jealousy that makes people make those comments, it's also quite frequently concern. She works in an industry known for pressure to lose more and more weight. If she had always been tiny there probably would be less concern, but as Happy Canadian said she was bigger, and did drastically lose quite a bit of weight. Regardless, she looks alright, and I hope she's healthy.
  18. It's not that Candice has a bad walk, it's just that she has the amount of energy that the walking dead does. It's absolutely lifeless.
  19. Queen over your favs What favs would those be? Hailey Clauson, Sarah Stephens,Taylor Hill because fashion checking for those broads. Hailey Clauson who is a newer model and booked SI, Sarah Stephens who has never been a huge model and still booked SISA and Taylor Hill who is a new model and is now walking in the VSFS... Yes, they aren't successful at all. They also aren't coming across as self entitled b*tches either... funny how that works.
  20. There's a difference between self confidence and self conceit.. Magdalena needs to learn where the line is. As for her getting far in the industry, she has a unique look..
  21. You seem to excel in exaggeration quite well. Oh is that what it is? I thought it was honesty.. You know the whole idea of calling it how I see it. Queen over your favs What favs would those be?
  22. I think that marketing strategy failed... we shouldn't have seen any leaks.. She needed wings!
  23. Queen of what? Narcissism or self conceit?
