Not sure I follow you, but sure whatever. I am so tired of culturally sensitive, liberal hippy bullshit that is taking over mainstream media and society. People get offended over the smallest thing these days, stuff that 10 years ago we would have turned the other cheek to, but that of course was ignorance on our part. No it's called not being an emo little bitch about everything and taking it for what it is, a damn costume in a fashion show. Last I checked the long headdresses were worn by males, and there were no animal prints that the Native Americans wore, but hey, let's all shove a tree up our asses and bitch and whine. I'm half Native and I personally didn't find the outfit offensive in the slightest. It was a cute take on a longstanding American tradition, (thanksgiving for everyone who's a little slow) where the pilgrims and the Natives came together). You don't see a bunch of Americans crying over the fact that Lily let the stripes of her flag hit the ground even though you could see she was trying her damnedest not to let it do so. But you don't hear anyone crying fowl over that. You don't see the Wiccans/Celtics/Pagans getting up in arms over the little witch outfit Behati wore. Or how about the Irish getting upset over the little "luck of the Irish" outfit Hilary wore. Or how about the Jews getting upset over Barbara's Santa outfit. Or jumping over to pink and Sharam's little cowboy outfit. Half my family is probably rolling over in their grave, but you don't see me pulling out the burning torch and starting a "witch hunt". The point is everyone needs to stop crying over every small slight they can possibly find and just grow up and move on. Point in case the geisha outfit that VS removed because a blogger got offended, and now this. Perhaps people need to stop over dramatizing their own culture and stop looking at everything as an actual personal attack. all i'm saying is she doesn't deserve to wear 3 outfits while the others have 2 (Adriana not included). Karma just came in and put everything a balance. I couldn't care less what the outfit stands for. So I agree with all you said.- Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)

Karma just came in and put everything a balance. I couldn't care less what the outfit stands for. So I agree with all you said. Why do you act as if she deserved it? How is it her fault if VS want to throw her down everyones throats and make her wear 3 outfits. She shoudn't get attacked by people because VS want her for the company. What should she say no to them offering her a contract or whatever they want to offer. For her at the end of the day it's even more exposure, and a great chance to work with a huge company. People don't like Karlie for VS. That's fine everyone has an opinion, but everyone is rejoicing that she is getting one of her walks edited out of the show. How do you think she feels about it?- Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)

Oh well everyone had a feeling this would happen. It's a bit unfair on Karlie. It wasn't her fault they put her in that outfit but at least she still has 2 other walks in the show. It's going to be interesting to see how they edit between Behati and Barbara. I reckon we will see something of Karlie in the background. Without the head piece the outfit is great too. Such a shame.- The Official Victoria's Secret Thread
I think it's safe to assume this is her goodbye. There have been rumors for a while now that an Angel was on the way out, and I have a feeling it's her. If it is oh well, she's had a great run. I just kinda hope they say something in the show, like a little goodbye edit for her. She deserves that.- Backstage
Those are incredible. So vibrant.- Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)
Haha thanks guys. No never have seen the movie but heard of it. It makes much more sense now. I think Ale is on her way out. It seems this way. As for Adriana it was just like Heidi in 05. Only thing is Adriana had no wings. Maybe she just wasn't ready to carry anything too heavy.- Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)
I just wanna know what song they used in Circus. It'd be so obvious but Britney's song would work great cause it has an awesome walking beat.- Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)
Can anyone explains to me the idea behind Dangerous Liasions? The looks are amazing but what era and how does it tie into that name? Thanks lol. I think Silver Screen, Dangerous and Bloom had the best looks. They were very cohesive. Calendar Girls had some great looks too, but I would've preferred a Zodiac theme. Circus had potential. I love Miranda, Ale's, Candice's and Doutzen's looks. Yes I LOVED the poodle. But I think that's also cause Doutzen wore it fantastically. But poor Joan in that tiger outfit. Pnk was the usual. Actually better than the last few years.- Runway

It isn't about the sexualizing, actually. Read up a little bit on cultural appropriation and you'll get a better idea of why it's an issue. ** from wiki Very interesting. I get what you're saying. I think for me its harder to understand because I live in Australia and we are a very multicultural country. And for us if someone dressed up in a funky aboriginal costume for example no one would get too offended because it would just seem fun as long as it wasn't offensive. Everyone's different but I see what you mean. Also if anything it's such a stereotypical look at the Native American culture.- Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)
I live in Aus so that stuff doesn't bother us. If it was done in a mean way it's different but it's just fun and costumey. Is it really a big deal? I get that it's sexualizing a culture and all but they're not doing anything offensive. Should they have dressed her as a pilgrim instead? I'm still really impressed with everything. I wish they didn't do a slow song for Silver Screen Angels but Bruno is a good performer so when edited it will flow great. Now we have to wait a month. I love Adriana and Alessandra. If its their time up with the company I won't be upset because they've had such great careers at VS.- Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)
I agree with this. She looked fantastic for someone who only gave birth recently. But I felt it was too quick. I would've loved her return like 2010. Instead of it being so quick.- Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)
Stunning girls. All of them look amazing.- Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)
No ones ever gonna be happy with the VS show anymore. They want 2003-2006. It's not gonna happen. I don't care I'd rather this then not getting a show at all. I still enjoy it. I like the funky, crazy outfits. I still can go back and watch the good old stuff but still enjoy the new fun shows too. I can't wait for the show to air to see it all put together.- Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)
Awe Sharam looks cute. I don't hate pink this year. Sure there's a few outfits like Jourdan, Shu and Ieva's that are a bit weird but I think it's the best Punk since 07.- Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)
Still haven't seen everything yet have we? Has anyone seen Sharam at all. I have to say Candice, Doutzen and Miranda were just wowsa. Their bodies were out if this world. Erin and Lindsay look fantastic and so does Behati. I'm so upset for Lais. Hope she's ok. I still need to go through everything properly. I have a lot of outfits I loved. Wtf for me was Joan's circus outfit and Jourdan's Pink. Mainly them 2. Everything else looked funky and cool. Even all the Pink outfits were interesting. I'm glad they kept Pink separate this year. All the girls in it were only in Pink and that's it. Made the look of the rest of the show flow better.- Runway

Take your time. Thanks for all of this pretty- Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)
So bummed about Lais. Was really looking forward to her. It sucks because she's probably really upset. Poor thing. But her safety is more important. Glad Shanina got a chance to get a 2nd outfit and Behati got 3. Have we seen Sharam yet?- Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)
Karlie looks good. So did Joan get a 3rd outfit too? You can tell VS are gonna pimp Karlie and Joan out cause they're gonna get extra exposure on their MTV show. Can't believe only 2 for Dri and Ale. And Adriana has no wings Other than that I think this years show is incredible. Really wonderful cast. I wonder who got Lais' outfits.- Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)
Could they have at least given Adriana a pair of wings. Unless she couldn't handle some extra weight at the moment due to the pregnancy. I'm really loving everything I've seen. Even pink is cool.- Runway
I kinda get Adriana. Like Heidi in 2005 she only got 2 looks after her pregnancy so maybe they didn't wanna do too much on Adriana so close after the baby, but Ale. Like Marisa in 09 seems a bit strange for her to get only 2. Maybe the rumors of her on the way out are true.- Runway
These outfits are incredible. A few that are a bit crazy but I think it's a great collection. Really Dri and Ale only got 2. That can't be right. - Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)
