  1. It's from wikipedia... that's so cute
  2. Maybe they lost their glitter contract?
  3. Saying that two models are going to break the runway is not only dumb it's bordering on bashing and weight discussion which are both against the rules of the forum. Saying you don't like the models as they don't fit your definition of beauty is fine, but insinuating that they're fat is incredibly dumb and quite rude. You're not dumb, the statement was dumb. That enough clarification for you?
  4. Taking aside skin color.... You must have missed that part. Sans = without/in absence of. Maybe it was a language barrier? VS is opening to a diversity of ethnicity, which is awesome, not so much opening towards body type diversity, which is not so awesome.
  5. Last time I checked most of the SI girls were all those things except skinny, because you know ... Not everyone in the world is skinny, some of us women actually do have butts and boobs. And most of SI girls look way better in lingerie/swimsuits than most of the girls in the lineup. I never said Ed & Monica would make Kate or Jessica walk, I know it's very unlikely what I did say is that I think they should walk because they would add some much needed diversity, I'm pretty sure all the girls walking are probably a B cup at best and a Small size in the butt too so I don't see exactly how is that supposed to be diverse. Cut the heads and put all their bodies next to each other and you won't see that much difference, that's what I'm referring to. It doesn't have to necessarily be Kate Upton or Jessica Gomes, they were just two of the examples of what I think VS should be adding. And for you to say that they will "break the runway" is just plain dumb honestly. Well seems like your understanding of beauty is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from mine. Maybe in your region of the world (wherever this is, idk) certain body types are preffered to others. In mine ,darling, preferences and likes are other/. Andif you ,do not understanding this, is just damn plain DUMB! So because in your section of the world tall and skinny is the accepted norm for beauty, her section of the world is wrong and dumb? That's rather bigoted. She has to accept your definition, but she can't have her own. She only said that the statement that Jessica Gomes or Kate Upton would break the runway was dumb, no need to attack her "definition of beauty".
  6. With the exception of 1 or 2 angels ^that's the problem. 99% of the girls being cast look the same sans face/skin color. Love the diversity.
  7. Actually that's kinda what I got out of your statement too. No, they will probably never walk for VS, but you were quite condescending to the idea of any model having curves, because models are "skinny, gorgeous, tall and slender." High fashion models fit that bill, but VS borders between HF and Commercial modeling, the latter being what SI caters to. So why wouldn't their models be appropriate for the VS runway? They're still models, they make great lingerie models for the most part. But VS has lost almost any idea of what a commercial model is and keeps sliding further and further into the realm of HF. It's becoming like a HF circus, and honestly when it loses even the semblance of having commercial models I will quite probably stop watching, until then the downward spiral is mildly entertaining. The fans, more so.
  8. Adriana never said Behati was guarding her. She pointed out her outfit, and the writers of the article made the assumption that because Adriana said queen in her sentence that Behati would be guarding her. ^that is what Adriana did say, and if you read what Baron wrote it fully fits. I've never heard of the queen accepting articles of clothing in buttons from her subjects, or her "neighborhood" so it is in essence a trader's queen, or something along those lines. Again, I'm not sure that warrants closing a segment, but we'll see.
  9. And right on schedule..
  10. And Candice still confirmed she was opening the show. The video didn't miraculously disappear because the actual history of the idea for Adriana's outfit was clarified. Adriana's just not a "royal" queen, she's a... trader's queen? Not sure if that warrants a close for the segment, but we'll see.
  11. Guess that also answers the question on whether the promo sketch we had a couple months back was for the British or Parisian segment.
  12. Would make sense, which means it'll probably be shipwrecked, birds of paradise, or pink as the second segment. And the Snow Angels or Paris will close the show. Normally they don't have the girls in back to back segments as far as I can tell.
  13. Nope, everyone has their opinion, I just really do hope they fix up the edges on the back of the outfit, it almost look like the fabric was snagged, or just not cut smoothly :|
  14. Which part? The sexy buttons? The sexy ragged edges on the back of the outfit? The fact that it gives her no waist definition at all? The fact that the bottom half looks like granny panties had a baby with a wrestler's belt in the front? Ooh, or is the giant VS done in buttons on her butt? Or the fact that it's Adriana??
  15. The ragged edges of the fabric on the back of the outfit really add to the "queen-like" appearance... right?
  16. Honestly, it's probably something to do with the filter's instagram uses. They make everything much "prettier" then it actually is. The pictures for the most part are fairly generic, but it adds depth and texture, shading and contouring that the actual eye wouldn't normally see. It's very similar to how blockbuster movies are made, where there are a series of filters to make things brighter, almost more cartoonish, glamorized, and thus more pleasing to the human eye.
  17. crfashionbook x.x *clears throat* it's... very much the queen? Really vs.. buttons? I don't think even Adriana can make buttons sexy.... pearly damn buttons. That outfit is atrocious.. It makes Ale's look fanfuckingtastic.. and that's terrible as it's pretty bad too. On a side note, Dri's face looks really pretty in those pics, and I like the soft, loose hair on her.
  18. I think.. this is where I discretely say something along the lines of, you should shut your mouth, (best I can do for politeness). lol
  19. It's also not very fair that people starve and children die from horrible diseases...
  20. Yes, where most models are told not to disclose information about upcoming jobs on twitter/facebook/instagram she's encouraged to? Now I see, the designers/brands want her to do the polar opposite of almost every other model out there? Thank you for clarifying.
  21. That makes perfect sense, because she has been cast as a roll in the movie for ages, and yet still allegedly went to castings... To potentially walk in a show that was being done in a time block she was already booked for. Yup, perfect sense.
  22. It also shows a distinct lack of professionalism.

Follow your heart, lord, and nothing else. (Pretty and Skynyrd said it best) 3. Would you defend me in a fight? Yes, that's a given, I would jump in front of a short bus for you. 4. Would you keep a secret from me if you thought it was in my best interest? I would lie to you if I thought the truth would hurt you in a New York second. You're my girl, and doing something to purposely hurt you is just plain shitty. 5. What is your favorite memory of us? Umm, where to start. When I first met you, crying on the phone during pregnancy, listening to you berate me because I had an accent.. "Why are there cracks on the ground" Roleplay, sexual innuendo and being mean.

Shoot heroin, listen to Velvet Underground and die of an overdose. Wtf else would you do? Hang out, have sex? 10 seconds of ending pleasure isn't worth it when you could have 24 hours of no pain, and awesome ear orgasms. How can you improve on perfection? 20. Would you be a fellow ninja with me? I think Pirates would do us better, Captains together, making everyone else do the dirty work. We just get the booty. 21. Are there any last words you like to tell me? I love you my disabled zombie friend!!!!
  24. Don't most of the girls who walk in the pink section only walk in the pink section? Doesn't that cut out between 10-12 girls for the rest of the cast/show so the other segments are divided amongst what 28-30 girls, which isn't a far cry off of the "golden years".
  25. Oh i've taken a psychology class and i'm in one now, just read a book that mentions it . I can educate you but i'm not. Its not stupid its obviously normal. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean its stupid. Adriana is just one of those people that others feel like she is perfect and amazing all the time. Not justifying anyone who is like that but Lets not pretend you ain't never seen that before. adriana isn't the only one who has admirers like that. I see it alot , and it is just one of those things you have to get over and learn to completely ignore. Don't have to throw insults left and right, cursing all over the place. Dropping f bombs. Using the word hate. Can we re-evaluate the level of seriousness? If not, then forget it. You got it.
