Thanks for the info. I figured she was basically a de-facto angel, but I was waiting for her to show up on the All Access page to consider it official. This explains why she hasn't showed up there yet. Maybe she and the other models have something similar to the catalog contracts like (I think) Oluchi and some other models used to have. Oluchi was in ad campaigns, commercials, and at store promotions, but she was always a step below angel. Right, and so was Angela. maybe the "new faces" all got this type of contract...

Yeah and they barely showed her in the one outfit at that . Originally, she was going to wear the second outfit Aminata wore, but once Heidi decided to walk, they gave Animata's outfit to her and Liu's outfit to Aminata.

That sounds intense. It seems like there is very little stability in the Angel lineup lately.

Im pretty sure Caroline Trentini was one of the fit models for the 2006 show along with Andi, and Miranda (i'm not sure why they needed three )

I second that! Seeing both of them in the 2006 show still gives me chills I was very disappointed to find out that VS didn't cast Hana (and Stam to a lesser degree) in the last years show. We might get lucky though, and maybe VS will cast Hana and Natasha again.

They had 16 year olds appearing in sexy lingerie?!? That's pushing it, I think. Just my opinion. From what I read, the Isabeli shoot caused a lot of controversey, which resulted in VS requiring a model to be atleast 18. After the uproar, Isabeli signed with alot of high fashion labels. Karolina on the other hand, started out working for high fashion labels so I don't think they actually knew she was so young. Plus, she looked nothing like a 16 year ol

Yeah, out of the contracted ones, Behati is the youngest.

& the youngest of the current models is Behati Prinsloo & she's 20 I think alot of the PINK models (and even some of the non-PINK ones) are 18 and 19. Gracie Carvalho, for example, just turned 19. Emily DiDonato, who just started working with them, was born in 1991

Isabeli Fontana was the youngest to appear in the catalogue at 16 and Karolina Kurkova was 16 when she walked in the 2000 show.

Well, aside from the Angels, you can pretty much count on seeing Rosie, Candice, and Chanel seeing how they all were in the Christmas commerical. Emanuela and Lindsay are probably definites too, as they were part of a major launch. Selita supposedly confirmed on her twitter that she'll be there and Maryna, Arlenis, and Edita all have good chances of being there considering their recent, heavy involvement with VS.

I think If Alessandra gets the FB, then Miranda or Doutzen will open (unless, of course, they open with the FB like in 2005). If she doesn't get it, then I think it is very likely that Alessandra will open.

That's the same thing I thought. Then again, John Galliano used balloons in one of his shows a few seasons ago

And we of course can't forget how KK got it in 2003 as a non-Angel and then again in 2006 after her second year of being a contracted Angel. However, I must admit I think she deserved both of them

I don't. VS would END her career Not true. If she did do VS and then decided to ONLY do VS, then that would end her career. However, a number of models- Caroline Trentini, Jessica Stam, Natasha Poly, Angela Lindvall, Isabeli Fontana, Morgane Dubled, and Raquel Zimmermann for example- have done VS multiples times and still have striving careers.

Yeah, I'm always alittle sad when I think about how she and Jeisa used to get so much work. Who knows, maybe this year she'll finally be cast in VS and that might propel her career again. We can always hope

Lindsay Ellingson Thanks for the ID. I passed by the VS store downtown today, and I wondered who the model in the window was. She's one of the many high fashion models VS is starting to bring in

Yes, which is unfortunate. On a side note, Im really surprise to see Chanel there

Well, they're heavily using Marisa for a number of reasons. For one, aside from Heidi, she's the oldest Angel- which means she doesn't have as much time as the others to "grow". The fact that she's an All-American girl is another factor. Prior to her officially signing with VS, all of the current Angels were from overseas (mainly Brazil). Also, as English is her first language, it's easier for her to be a spokeswoman for the company because of the absent of the language barrier. In all, I think the executives at VS want to use bring in more American spokewomans like Marisa and Lindsay. On a side note, while not actually "African American", but rather Afro-Brazilian, I believe Emanuela is well on her way to becoming the company's most prominent black model. I have a feeling Gracie Carvalho will eventually be another major black model for the VS.
