Who is her boyfriend?

Still doesn't make any sense to me how VS keeps on using Marloes for their print work but they ignore her complete for the VSFS. She's auditioned for it at least three times!

Within the premier league, I would say he is roughly in the middle of the pack. There are quite a few premiership keepers I would rank ahead of him: Vorm, Krul, Guzan, Mignolet, Howard, Friedel, Cech.Before this current campaign, I would certainly have added Reina to that list as well. I'd rank Hart around the same place as De Gea. In that you have to take the good with the bad and most days there is a lot more good than bad.

Four (I believe) previously unposted shots of Alyssa in the Pretty Woman costume. BTW, she looked bloody spectacular in that outfit!

Can I just say that the Adam Johnson goal - once again - proves how absurd the whole "Joe Hart is the greatestest goalkeeper the world has ever seen!" rhetoric is? If he wasn't English he would be deemed at the level of say, Mark Schwarzer.

Tell her hi for me.

Meh, looks pretty good to me.

Luna top left and Milo bottom right... Who's Bolt and baby? I guess Bolt neares Luna and Baby top right... Right? Candice, Right? Badboy I must admit, the fact you are able to name her dogs and could decipher which one is which is semi-creepy Just semi?

To the people who claim that Kate's only asset is her chest, why then haven't the thousands of girls with a similar body type not achieved 1% of what she has already?

Nina would be a nice addition to the VS stable. She's pretty much tailor-made to start out in their Pink line.

This is around the time where the VSFS went form having women to having girls. This has nothing to do with the actual ages of the models and more with their (body) type. In general they have gone towards the more petite frames. It's not just Gisele, they have also lost KK, Tyra, Naomi, Heidi, ... since that time. Was there even a single woman like that (other than maybe Hilary Rhoda) on this year's show? I'd call Joan womanly too? And Isabeli. Not to start anything, but Gisele didn't have curves her body is straight and she's as slim as Magdalena Plus the show has always been dominant by skinny girls. They just had maturity in their faces. Noami, Heidi, Claudia were curvy but most of the girls were skinny. I should have been more clear in my point. A more womanly look isn't just linked to the body type but also the model's faces. Miranda is a good example of the opposite: she is nearly 30 but her face makes her appear much younger. Conversely, Gisele always had more mature facial features. To return to the earlier point about Laetitia Casta: where have those girls gone to? Not them specifically, but models like her? It's not that there aren't any women out there with her body type, it rather seems like the VS leadership has decided to sail a different course, one that is more aimed at younger women/girls?

I don't want to start a riot with the Upton fans, but to be fair- this is not her thread. I think she looks like a hybrid of Anna Nicole Smith and Alvin the chipmunk. She just looks cheap to me and I'm not a fan of her body. Of course most men, especially American men would differ, as a pair of healthy breasts keeps them happy. And hey if that works for her, more power to her. She's making money and I guess that's what matters. I'll have to +1 Siemgi and say I would like her to stay away from VS because of my interest in it. Imagine if she were apart of VS though, the only thing more cringe worthy than seeing Candice attempt to dance during VS Swim videos is having to watch Kate do the cat daddy again. Upton's appeal isn't only linked to the size of her chest. If it was, there would be dozens like her. It's true she has a very distinct body type that might not lend itself well to a VSFS type show. Having said that, is anyone really content with the general type the casting has gone for in the last 4-5 years? It's true we never had someone like Upton walk the VS runway, but we did have a girl like Laetitia Casta, who had some serious curves herself. Where is the 2012 Casta?

I think that bridge was napalmed the moment Sophia Neophitou decided to publicly insult Kate Upton, for seemingly no reason whatsoever. That was still one of the oddest incidents involving a senior VS representative. I was actually surprised that the company allowed her to get away with such a classless act without any form of apology. Public/media personalities have been forced to apologize for a lot less.

Looking cool, Candice.

It's been more than ten years in Adriana's case. She has been doing the VSFS since 1999 and has been an Angel since 2000!

That's your opinion of course. Well of course such a comment would be entirely subjectively. I do believe VS has held onto some girls for a couple of years too long. Adriana is one of them. Heidi was another. Of course, it's not like the opinion of some random dude in Belgium matters either way. BTW, this has nothing to do with personal like or dislike of the girl. People who have been around this forum for a long-ass time will know that my original BZ moniker was actually "Limafan". My comments aren't even aimed that much at VS in general. I just believe it's rare for a spokesmodel and a company to have such a long relationship without it becoming somewhat stale and boring. I'm a big fan of Candice Swanepoel but I hope she moves on from VS sooner rather than later. I certainly don't hope that Candice is still doing the VS thing in 4-5 years from now. There are always exceptions to every rule of course, but a VSFS tenure should be in the 5-8 years range, no longer. One of the ways to reinvigorate the show is give us more new faces.

Adriana posted this to her Facebook. It's a shot that actually sums up why it's time she departed. She has lost all of the ingénue quality that made her so irresistible in the early VSFS.

Anyone have a time machine?

That sexy belly still looks as good as ever!

She went to the Les Miserables premiere with her coochie hanging out. Didn't see that one coming, Annie!

Any suggestion that Catrinel might be in it this year?

True story: Martin O'Neill once signed Emile Heskey ahead of Radamel Falcao.

Sexy, but I prefer her with dark hair.
