  1. I think they were just going for some futuristic designs and put them all under the name "Blade Runner". I don't see any real connection between the Blade Runner costume design and what VS created for that segment, though.
  2. Do I see Jeremy Piven and James Van Der Beek in the crowd in that fifth picture? And the more pictures I see, the more I think that Blade Runner was by far the best segment when it comes to outfit design.
  3. :| Thanks. Oh, and say hello to Benjamin for me!
  4. Could someone ask about her on tFS? I see they talked about her, but they fail to mention her surname as well. And I'm too much of a pariah to have an account over there. http://www.thefashionspot.com/forums/f96/v...-58094-358.html
  5. I'd like to know her name, anyone have a clue?
  6. What's the name of that contest winner who features in most people's most hated outfits?
  7. Why would every possible genetic combination have to be created in order for someone to be born "perfect"? That's like saying you have to play every single number in existence in order to win the lottery, and we all know that's not the case. After all, if enough people play the lotto, someone's going to win sooner or later. Actually, your lottery example is a good one. The reason that most weeks there is a lottery winner is because the lottery system is designed as such that there is a large enough number of people participating for there to be a big winner quite frequently. For instance, Belgium's most popular lottery system is a 6 winning number system out of a total of 42 numbers. Simple probability theory tells us that we only need a little over 5000000 lottery forms to be filled out to all but guarantee a winner. Which is why we do have a winner more times than not. But genetics are not as simple as that. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. These are cut in half during the creation of ovules and sperm. So already at the stage of ovules and sperm, you have 2^23 possible chromosome varieties. When a sperm cell fertilizes an ovule, this number increases even more, since every ovule-chromosome can combine with every sperm cell chromosome. And that doesn't even factor in mutation. Or the fact that during the process of creating sperm cells and ovules, the chromosomes tend to be re-arranged somewhat, adding even more possibilities to the human genetic spectrum. But not even factoring in those mutations and the chromosomal cross-pollination, so just taking into account the number of possible combinations at the fertilization stage, we come at a number of over 70000000000000. That's 70000 billion. An optimistic estimate of the total human population since its existence would be around 22 billion. So that is a population which is quite inadequate to guarantee the birth of a genetically perfect child. In fact, it's a population number that would suggest it being very very unlikely that a perfect child has yet been born. 22/70000 = 1/3181 that it has happened.
  8. Why do the footballing Gods hate me? Belgium lost. Scotland lost. Russia lost. Three games I would have loved see go the other way.
  9. Anytime Pinks I don't think I ever gave anyone hope before!
  10. Absolutely. I'm not saying I've ever seen it or that I ever will, but -- to me -- it's a logistical certainty that out of the billions of people who have lived and died on this planet, someone was born physically perfect (by whatever your standards are) and managed to stay that way for a time. In fact, I would go so far as to say there are probably plenty of these people out there right now. I respectfully disagree. Your theory is based on the assumption that a few billion humans is enough of a population to have created an instance of every possible genetic variety, which would also include a perfect specimen of physical beauty. I would say that in itself is already very, very unlikely. But lets assume, for argument's sake, that there have been such instances of "perfect" humans out of genetic point of view. They would still need to be born in the right environment to nurture their genetic predestination in the right way to grow up and become "beautiful humans". You have to factor in that a lot of your test group (humanity as a whole) are born under less than ideal situations when it comes to that. So we're starting from a situation that is already very unlikely (a genetically perfect child being born) and then we have to hope that he or she is raised in an environment that will not taint that perfection.
  11. If the list is limited to those three, I would go for Bar. My favorite cover model of recent years was Veronika Varekova. In contrast, I found the other Czech Chick's cover, Petra's, rather bland in comparison.
  12. I would disagree, but even if that was true, models are supposed to fool us about it. So you believe physical perfection is a possibility within the reality we inhabit? And I think they do fool us most of the time. Remember Josie Maran's appendicitis scar? Most of the time it was either photoshopped out, or she posed in a way that it wasn't visible. I imagine most models approach their physical flaws the same way. Of course, at events like the VSFS it can be harder to accomplish that. Make-up can only cover up so much.
  13. That's what you get when people are more used to seeing photoshopped pictures of a woman's body than the real thing. Real women have cellulite, little scars, small imperfections, and yes, even pores - gasp! - on their skins. Of course real women have cellulite and little scars, etc., but isn't the point of a model for her to be physically perfect? So if a model's ass is looking like :yuckky: then the "real women" rational isn't valid to me. Her ass doesn't like :yuckky: to me. Also, you'll find that even models have physical imperfections, hence the overuse of photoshop in all print media. Physical perfection is like a perfect circle, it only exists as a concept, not in reality.
  14. Well, I didn't intend to give an exhaustive list, it was just from the top of my head...
  15. I think I prefer the Blade Runner segment outfit.
  16. Well obviously, however that's not what I'm saying.. Compaired to what her body USED to look like.. Karolina isn't in the best of shape anymore. Aw youth.. cherish it ladies. I have no idea what you are talking about, she still looks scorching hot to me...

  18. Been playing some Rainbow Six: Las Vegas recently.
  19. I don't think her hair was still all that short.
  20. Hair extensions is more likely.
