wtf?! they don't use her? what other model of color do they use?
From the top of my head, there's fellow Brazilians Gracie Carvalho and Lais Ribiero; Americans Lyndsey Scott, R'el Dade, and Chanel Iman; and Jamaican Jeneil Williams.
Gracie is being used the most often right now in the catalog, even though Chanel (and presumablyEmanuela) is contracted with them. Jeneil is used in just PINK and Lyndsey and Lais just started doing the catalog. Im surprise they haven't started using Joan yet.

I love how athletic has basscically become a euphemism for some other word in fashion. It could be Heidi's legs too.I actually can see Lindsay doing a US Vogue editorial, as she's done alot more high fashion work than Erin, Candice, Rosie, and even Miranda and Ale. But, I'd say those mystery legs are too "athletic" to be Lindsay's.Yeah, I didn't know whether or not I could say she has ridiculosly thin legs or not. But, now I just did so... <_<

^I could see Lindsay doing US Vogue, too. And she has done quite a bit of high fashion work. She's always struck me as the stereotypical US Vogue model: pretty yet kind of boring.
But I don't think that's Lindsay's leg. I can't tell too much, obviously, but I think Lindsay's legs are quite a bit skinnier, like Chanel Iman's.
Yeah, that's what I was trying to hint at.
Plus, I would think Wintour would take Doutzen over the others, as she's had a number of eds for them plus was featured on the cover for the "world's next top superodel" edition

I think Karolina will get the bra. Or maybe Selita. But Izabel might surprise us.
I think it is pretty obvious Oluchi is getting it
Why else would you think she's been keeping such a low VS profile?
Honestly, I think Miranda or Ale will get (preferably Ale). As Lost_Soul mention, Miranda seems to be doing ALOT of work for them lately. Im not sure about Adriana, only because she had it so recently. Though, it wouldnt be surprising if she got it.

Also Chrisman, VS continued to use Isabeli through 2000-2003, she even stared in a commercial with Adriana and Gisele in the summer of 2002. I don't understand the controversy over Isabeli either, because like I said Adriana started working for them when she was 16/17, KK when she was 16/17 but yet Isabeli caused all the commotion...I'll never understand that
Oh, sorry, I just meant they waited until 2003 to actually use Isabeli in the show, even though she (along with KK) was already becoming a Versace It girl.

Also, the piece about her basically says thatwhen thinking about casting a diverse group of brazilians, her name cannot be missed. She has already become one of the black models that has made history in the fashion industry. Then they mention that her elegance, features, and successful career have translated into numbers (im assuming cash). With that, the write goes on to mention how she was in the 2009 Forbes ranking for wealthiest models. It concludes with suggesting that this is the start of something good for Emanuela

Ana Hickmann
You have a Guinness Book of World Records and they only use her for one year? Moreover, in the 2002 show, they gave her second oufit away
Seing how she's blonde, tall, and "exotic" (I hate that term, but in this case think its applicable), VS could have easily had made hervery successful here in the U.S. I know she is tremendously popular back home in Brazil, but Ana could have made a name for herself in the U.S. market if she had been used more frequently by VS.

Who do you think are the mst underrated VS models? In other words, who should they have used more often? Who gets shafted in airtime or publicity? Which Angels were/are always in the background? Who always seems gets the ugliest outfits? You get the point

I can't believe there is even speculation that Candice may wear the Fantasy bra, this would make me so happy
but im quite positive it won't happen...yes,she is all over Vs.com & has been going to many promotional events... but she is still quite a new face, i think that Vs is trying to introduce her as their new "supermodel" but it would be really strange if she got to wear the fantasy bra. As much as i love Candice,she doesn't deserve to wear the fantasy bra....Im rooting for Miranda or Doutzen,they have been with the company a loooong time & should be able to rock the runway in it .
You never know. KK open the show her second year (as a 17 year old) and wore the fantasy bra her third year, ontop of not even being an Angel. So, I wouldn't say that Candice isn't a likely candidate for either one.

Short article about KK in New York Magazine:

VS has always done this before a massive "kick" of the Angel lineup as I've pointed out before. Once upon a time ago we had Heidi, Adriana, Alessandra, Izabel, KK, Gisele, Selita, Doutzen, Miranda, Marisa all being called angels, within months that list was cut in half.
But didn't Gisele leave on after her contract negotiations went poorly, while Izabel broke her contract, and KK just did not renew hers (making Selita the only one that VS really cut)? I do agree that the number of Angels well probably be cut down though.

I know, right? They also introduced Lindsey, Rosie and Chanel twice and even Emmanuela who hasn't yet made it on their "Supermodels" list.
On the plus side Wiki finally got it, that Romijn, Ghauri and Rivero never were Angels.
It's weird that they introduced Emanuela and then scarcely use her afterwords (in comparison to her and past use and the current use of the other girls).

She now has an Angel profile on the VS facebook: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=7977...0109&ref=ts
The Official Victoria's Secret Thread
in General Discussion
She missed the 2007 show to receive an award in the Netherlands. It was the same year VS offered her a contract, though she didnt sign until 2008. Doutzen herself confirmed that she is pregnant and engaged. She also mentioned that she told VS early in the pregnancy so that she could take a break from working for them and return after she gives birth,
