I could think of at least 2 recent competitions Adriana didn't win. She doesn't have fans for nothing either. I'm not personally a huge fan, but you can't deny that she's a great representation of the brand. Yup. Adriana is IMO the most iconic VS Angel ever, not because I love her but because she was the VS dream: A young model who was relatively an unknown, VS discovered her, made her a huge star and is now one of the most famous and popular from her generation and based solely on her VS work: she hasn't done movies, television, doesn't have her own line of anything, doesn't have a famous husband, she's known just for being a VS Angel. It's something VS has tried to do with every other model they've contracted and has failed to do so, the closest they've been to do it again is Candice.

Is it really safe to say that? I mean yes, VS is a large company and will definitely always make money. However, part of the allure of the brand is the hot, larger than life supermodels behind it. The likes of Gisele, Heidi, Tyra, Adriana, etc helped make VS the brand that it is today. If that legacy isn't continued, what does it mean for the brand in the future? They need at least SOME star power. Don't you mean to say that part of the allure of the brand is the hot, larger than life supermodels is for us, cause I can promise you the that average person on the street gives zero fucks who modeling the lingerie and they care even less about trying to figure out who they are. It seems pretty safe to assume the average person just want to buy underwear/lingerie without having to go to a million and one stores in the mall to find something remotely stylish or sexy, and because VS is easily the most recognizable place to buy said "stylish" underwear, they consumer will gravitate towards the store to buy regardless. At this point I'm pretty damn sure VS could fire every model they have, replace them with a couple of unknown girls and switch them out every 7 months for a new face/body and the masses would still enter the mall and go to vs. To bring in soccer analogy (if anyone here can follow it a bit), VS are like Real Madrid, sure they can win a title with good balanced team, but they need that $100+ million player. They need prestige, elitism over anything else. Same with VS. Here's the difference: VS needed the supermodels to establish themselves and become and even bigger and better brand, gain fame + fame coverage and a loyal costumer base. They already have all those things, now VS doesn't need the models, the models need VS because along with SI those are the only two ways to become known-ish name. Real Madrid sucks so hard even if they overpay their players needs to win tittles to make money yearly because they need to sell tickets, merchandising + the sweet tv rights deal that increase or decrease depending on how success their team is. If any sports team has a sucky first half of the year, who is going to keep watching the games? No one, if VS drops every model and replaces them with unknown girls, who is going to give a fuck? No one, everyone will keep buying their products no matter what.

doesnt she want to be actress for many years. how do you think she gets a role.and after she split from husband her modelling career boosted.how do you think she gets all these covers eds campaigns How the fuck are you not banned already? Seriously. +1 This is absolute bullshit and it annoys me to see the staff do nothing about it o.o

^ Karolina got it in 2002 without being an Angel and then got it in 2006 after being an Angel for 12 month. Marisa was signed in 2007 and got it in 2009. This year it'll be Candice or Adriana, maybe juuust maybe Behati. All the others have no chance tbh.

This thread knows no chill o.o

Perfection for glass magazine (Y)

Gemma - 1 Doutzen - 2 1.5 each Victoria - 1 Romee - 2

Magdalena - 3 not a fan of that piece of lingerie, I don't like the shoes and wtf with the ugly capes!? Eniko - 5

At this point Jasmine and Martha are familiar faces too tho, unless you've missed the past too many VS commercials there's no way in hell you haven't seen those two o.O As for Jac, she is the queen of catalogs these days so again, regular costumers will know her face as much as Elsa's. Probably same for Sara, the only ones coming out of nowhere are Taylor, Romee and Kate.

I think the only person comparing Kate to that woman is her and her management she wishes she really was the next Kate but that ain't happening. I'm excited to see how Kate does in movies, to me it seems like she decided to step down from SI and let people have a break from her before starting to act more which seems like a smart choice to me. I wish Kate the best (Y)

Cutting Adriana and Alessandra last year would have been the dumbest thing ever, their 20th Show is this year and they're going to do something huge about it, what better to send off one (or two) of your biggest models ever than in the biggest show to date? Heck I even expect some former Angels to attend the show front-row or something. I called VS cutting girls and contracting new faces a couple months ago and everyone was like NOPE. But honestly the signs have been there for a while now o.o --> In before Alessandra & Lily get dropped after this year's show, probably Adriana too. Candice and Behati to slow down as fuck and be the new Adriana & Alessandra ---> Elsa, Martha, Stella, Jasmine & Jac to be the new lineup.

They dropped (or were dropped by) Lindsay, Karlie & Doutzen within six months or less and it looks like they are cutting more people soon, they need fresh faces ASAP or they'll roster will be made out of unknown girls, it's better to introduce them now all together like in 2009.

YAAASSS! Elsa + David are the dream

I also agree. The fact that people compare that woman to Kate o.o. I finally saw The Other Woman last week and it was pretty decent, hopefully Kate will have a bigger part this time and it sure does look like it, rumors are that Joe Manganiello will play the male lead but nothing confirmed.

Yeah I forgot Joan was in there at all But I can see Jac, Jasmine, Stella & Martha all being under contract now. Agree that it does suck if Lais didn't get a contract but at this point I think she knows that ship has sailed.

Looks like VS signed Stella too? I'm starting to think they may have signed all the girls from the Swim Special. How does one find out she’s become a new Victoria’s Secret Angel? Like, did you get an email, or did a dove fly to your window with a sealed envelope? SM [laughs] Well, it actually was a pretty special moment. My agent Ali Kavoussi at The Lions, he himself is an angel, and he called me and told me, "Babe I got some news for you!" Was there a surprise party? SM It's really cool. They actually rent out the entire Disneyland Theme Park in California for an entire night so you can invite all of your closest friends to just hang. It's so amazing. No lines and all the rides are open. Ha! Just joking. Do all the Angels get along? SM Of course. VS is a family. Everyone loves each other.

She is just so perfect for VS

She looks beautiful, love the VB cover

Constance - 7 Kate - 7

Lindsay - 3 1.5 each Aymeline - 1 Rachel - 2

Adriana - Greatest VS Angel ever. Petra - One of the best SI covers ever, probably the best from the new century/millennium

In a ideal world this should be it but obviously there is more to who graces the pages of SI And good points to both Clauds and tood The fact a women has a say really helps this mag to be more then just another smut magazine. Yup. Having women on board and bringing a different perspective is what sets SI apart from Maxim, FHM & other magazines. Also the fact that they are including where to buy the bikinis from the magazine and all that, tells you that clearly they are also trying to appeal to women too, because I doubt straight guys buy the magazine to see the new trends in swimsuits o.o. I do think MJ hasn't made the greatest choice since she took over (in 2013 btw, not 2007 that was still under Diane's reign o.o) but that's whole different story. Casting process for SI are completely different than what ya'll think, it's not about showing up in a bikini to flaunt your t&a, otherwise every busty girl would make it to the magazine and that's clearly not the case.

Stammy Dasha - 2 Anais - 1 1.5 each

Adriana - 5 Lais - 3? Clearly the bastard children of the segment
