The model search segments are a pain in the arse! lol I'd rather see profiles and such on the Angels or the other 20+ models walking.

Adriana just had a baby...

I think she should have either opened or closed the segment Agreed!!

I love the mix that's playing in this section!

In other news, Ana BB is so damn gorgeous! It should be a crime to be that unbelievably beautiful!!

Who was the model that came out right before Selita? She worked that stage better than all the others!

First Asian model on Victoria's Secret runway By Jo Piazza, Special to CNN December 1, 2009 10:30 a.m. EST (CNN) -- Four years ago Liu Wen entered a modeling contest in China to win a computer to use for school. Little did she know it would lead her to the Victoria's Secret runway in New York. Wen, who will appear in the Victoria's Secret fashion show airing Tuesday on CBS, will be the first Victoria's Secret model of Asian descent to walk the catwalk, the company said. "I was surprised when my agent told me," Wen said hours before she was set to walk the runway. She seemed only slightly overwhelmed: clad in a pink robe, one technician assigned to her fingernails, another to her toenails and another adding extensions to her already long black hair. "I asked my agent if she was joking. I didn't think an Asian girl would get this job." Victoria's Secret plucked Wen, 21, out of a regular model casting call. "Liu Wen is a beautiful woman. She has a strong and energetic presence on the runway. She looked absolutely stunning in our fashion show," said the show's executive producer, Monica Mitro. At 5-foot-10, Wen said she towered over her classmates in China. The newest addition to the Victoria's Secret family was born in Yongzhou in China's Hunan province in 1988, the daughter of an interior designer dad and a stay-at-home mom. She was in high school when, on a whim, she submitted photos for a modeling contest, hoping to win the top prize of a laptop computer. "I was studying to be a teacher in China and my friend was entering a modeling contest," she said. "The prize was a computer, and I needed a computer for school. So I entered the contest, too, and then I won." Her family and friends, including the one who originally had the idea to enter the contest, were shocked. "My friends were all surprised," she said. "They were all like, 'sure, you're pretty.' " Soon Wen had moved from Yongzhou to the Chinese capital of Beijing, where she appeared on the covers of Chinese editions of FHM and Marie Claire, as well as in editorials for Chinese Vogue. In 2008 she landed on the cover of Chinese Elle alongside fellow rising star Emma Pei. Wen made her runway debut in Milan, Italy, in 2008, followed quickly by Paris, France, and New York fashion weeks where she walked in such shows as Anna Sui, Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen, Chloé and Lanvin. Although her walk down the runway will be a first for Victoria's Secret, Wen is part of a growing trend for Asian models worldwide that began several years ago with Devon Aoki. The past few seasons of fashion shows have featured Asian models on almost every high-end runway. "I talk to my mom in China every day when I am traveling. My family is always excited to hear about the top designers I am meeting and the clothes I get to wear," Wen said. She said was familiar with the Victoria's Secret show, though being on the inside was something new. "Of course I had seen the show on television. I watched it every year," Wen said. "But it was so different when I got here and got to meet the other girls. I got to meet Heidi Klum for the first time after I had known about her for so long. And she was so nice." Wen thinks she may try her hand at acting when she has gotten over the modeling bug, but she said she would be just as happy returning to China to be a teacher like she originally planned. "In the classroom everyone respects the teacher. The teacher has all the control and has the ability to shape all of her students' lives," Wen said. "But for now modeling is such great fun. I'm still trying out new sexy faces." Source: CNN

When was this taken? I hope sometime since Fashion Week. She looks great and beautiful as always!!!

Generally speaking, I'm not into the Brazilian [male] models. I find them to be rather generic. In other words, its rare you'll find a rare gem or unique beauty in the bunch. That being said, I find myself quite drawn to Edi. Though there's nothing special about his face, his charisma and charm translates well. And not in a sleaze-ball, "Look at me, ain't I sexy?" kinda way. Edi comes off really sweet and grounded in all his pics... even in his more provocative shoots. I like him and hope to see more of him... perhaps with his clothes on lol

At least he's cute! Which is more than I can say about some other model boyfriends/fiances. Namely Alessandra's and Ana B's :yuckky:

What's wrong with her brows? :lost: She looks gorgeous!!

I don't know anything about Marcelo so I'm just curious as to why people don't like him. Anyways, if she's happy, I'm happy.

If its the November issue than the interview/photoshoot (if there is one) probably took place about two months ago.

I take it Marcelo isn't too popular around here??

I wonder if this is really Tyson: http://twitter.com/TysonBallou

Ah! So beautiful!! Thanks for posting Anouk

Any news?

I thought the making of Fahrenheit Absolute was more intense than the actual commercial lol Thanks for posting

I'm sure this won't be the last time you will have to say that. Just saying... Comparisons are made in every active thread I'm sure. No way around it. Right or wrong, its human nature.

Does her fiance live in NY or LA? Its gotta be tough trying to maintain a relationship no less raise a child together when you travel so much.

Oh OK... well that's unfortunate I thought her shots were great! In any case, its SI's loss. Would you happen to know why she hasn't walked the VSFS? I know she walked in 2005 or 2006 but she's not a regular
