  5. I was trying to update her thread a little so I have searched the web and her thread and here is what I realized (and what made me somehow "upset")- she used to do so much work. She was great, fantastic debut, runways in Brazil, New York, London etc, editorials in Vogue, Elle etc, commercial work, ads for the biggest names and then.... VS happened... If you compare what she was doing in 2008-2010 and now it is like looking at different girl. Dont get me wrong. VS is good but I have impression she waists her potential. Gracie is gorgeous girl. She could be high fashion name and now it looks like she does mostly commercial work. Just dont know if it is her choice or her agency? I always say I wish her to have Magdalena Frackowiak or Doutzen Kroes type of career.
