Confirmation that Natasha was indeed casted and given an outfit. I think VS must have cancelled last minute one her! Based on the fact that she did not acknowledge VS and was deleting comments about it, she seemed a bit hostile towards the company. I have a friend in-the-know, and they told me that many times girls are cancelled last minute for the VSFS, models that are established and have even walked the show before!

What are your angel predictions/forecast for 2015? Who will be used extensively, who will be neglected, and who will eventually leave next year? I think next year will be all about Elsa and Behati. They will definitely start pushing Elsa the way they did with Candice in 2010/2011. Ale and Adriana will work consistently, but not as often as before. I think Doutzen will be a back-burner angel along with Karlie. Not sure what Lily's status will be like. I can definitely see Candice slowing down a bit. I literally have no clue who will leave next year. But if I had to guess, I would say it's gonna be Doutzen or maybe, maybe even Candice.

Candice has already peaked, while Elsa is rising in terms of popularity. Elsa is where Candice was about 4 years ago in terms of career status with VS. I predict that she will be used extensively throughout 2015-2016 to the point that people start disliking her (the way it happened with Candice). I also don't think Candice will be with VS much longer. I honestly think she will leave within the next 3 years.

I wish Elsa was in Angel Ball instead of Fairytale! It would have been more complete if all the angels were in the segment. Plus she would have looked amazing in any of the looks.

In the 2nd taping, it was so awkward how Candice wasn't even done posing and the song ended! Hopefully they fix that! I also think the timing with Ariana's songs was awkward. The transitions weren't smooth, and I didn't like how 'Problem' was at the very end and Jac (who was supposed to close the segment) walked for just a verse into the song. It didn't feel like a closing. I am SO over the whole Taylor/Karlie/Lily thing. Taylor needs to stop getting in the way of the models, especially poor Blanca. Good riddance Taylor. We will never have to see her again for the VSFS.

THANK YOU!!

I love Behati in interviews. She's seriously underrated as a spokesmodel; she's always so calm, fun, and effortless.

I like Stella because she kept it simple. It's annoying when models are back to back to back making kissy faces and pointing. Stella simply delivered, and I like her short blonde hair and baby face. SHe worked for the segments she was placed in. I personally don't think she will have much longevity, but I could definitely appreciate her this year. Josephine needs to get a proper outfit, but I'm happy to say that she definitely rocked PINK (along with Bregje).

I knew it!! Can't wait to see it! Hope they included Elsa in it this time.

The music for exotic travelers was a total snoozefest! My god, I could barely stand it! Way to drag down a lively segment with colorful, unique outfits. Is it just me, or did Adriana seem really drunk in the finale video of the second taping? She couldn't stop moving and she seemed oddly in her own world haha and she kept hugging/holding on to Karlie and Behati lol.

At least Jac got to close PINK! That's quite an honor, considering they could have chosen anyone else in the segment. Plus her outfit actually had lingerie, and is a major improvement form last year. I like it when mainline girls occasionally walk PINK (like Bregje) because they give it a sexier and more refined touch. Last year it felt like a pre-school playground. Random note - but I miss Shannon Click! She was great on the runway, for both PINK and mainline.

what do you think about kate and blanca? I liked Kate G., but I don't know if she's good enough to return. I think she's gonna be one of those 'one off' type of girls (like Kasia in 2010 and Anna J in 2009). I'm indifferent to Blanca, I keep forgetting she was cast. I'll have a stronger opinion once I see her in motion. I loved Stella. She slides in well because she's a quirky blonde and photographs well. She has an edgier appeal and I like her short hair. Need to see her in motion though. I also really liked Josephine (who desperately needs to be placed in mainline!)

In my opinion, many girls seemed unnecessary this year. Their spots should have been dropped and filled with models with one look, or entirely new models all together. Based on the pictures alone, I'm unimpressed with: Maud ('nuff said), Yumi ('nuff said) Grace, Imaan, Ieva (why does she get constantly casted?!), Romee (she looks like a 'dumb' version of Candice, something about her face looks off and she's way too skinny in my opinion), Irina (she's okay..but meh), Sigrid (she's decent, but I just find her so bland and replaceable), Daniella Braga (basically a Shanina/Kelly Gale variant, not needed), and Jac Jablonski (I don't see why she's special, she's basically a less attractive Hilary Rhoda). Pleasantly surprised with: Elsa's mainline debut, Eniko's return, Devon Windsor, Jasmine Tookes (her skin is AMAZING!) and Lily Aldridge!

Sara must have had a super quick outfit change! She walked Fairy Tale and PINK back to back!

So Sara essentially wore a night cover? Damn, such a shame we didn't get to see her body!

Strange. Maybe she's taping something special? Like how Cara did last year by talking about social media. So random. And Stella only got one outfit too.

Overall thoughts so far: Runway set is spot on. Looks modern and edgy, and the visual effects look awesome. Behati's opening outfit was AMAZING. But I don't think she brought the right attitude. In the video she was touching her hair and looking around the room. I hope she improves for the second taping. Can't believe Adriana and Ale only got two looks. So upsetting. I won't be too mad as long as they get plenty of airtime during the broadcasted show. Angel Ball looks phenomenal. Love all the models lined up like chess pieces. Love the selection of music for PINK. Ariana sang the right songs and she has the perfect energy for PINK. However, she and her dancers need to coordinate more with the models.

Ariana did a mash up of Bang Bang, Break Free, and Problem. Great! She did her best songs and they are all great for PINK.

@10magazine posted a backstage shot her of, check their instagram

I think what happened was that VS requested her to walk, but she declined (she wasn't busy, because according to her Instagram the past few days and today she hasn't done any work). That's why she was on the casting board. Really strange that she would decline, maybe she just wants to keep a lower profile. We all have this notion in our heads that every model dreams of and would kill to do the VS show, but I guess that's not always the case.

Even though Bregje got stuck in the PINK segment, she definitely got one of the most revealing outfits, perhaps even one of the most revealing in the show. Not complaining!

What do you guys think the solo performance will be? Ariana maybe? When Justin was the PINK performer in 2012 he also performed solo.

Natasha update: she is in Amsterdam doing yoga class! It's either she's flying in tomorrow/tonight just for the show, or she's a no-show. Amsterdam -> London is an extremely short flight, so it's very possible. Doesn't seem like she's busy at all. She could be pulling a Lara Stone/Carmen Kass in 2008 and arriving the day of the show just to walk.

Strange that Cara is in London, yet is not walking the VS show... I think VS is finally over Cara! Whenever I see the VS overload of pics on social media, I always think about how awful/hard it must be for models who got rejected for the show to be seeing all the pics/madness unfold. Must be hard.

Thank you for flying Victoria's Secret Airways, we hope you've had a very sexy flight.
