I really like her with her hair slicked back.

No need anymore. Found it. Early Angels videos I'm missing the one with Dennis Miller though. The Angels runway debut: Some bits here: Some bits there: http://vimeo.com/9117895

I think this is where they found the photo, higher res, smaller size http://www.lejdd.fr/Sport/Images/Galerie-d...Lituanie-29465/ Haven't found any better yet, but it gives you the where and when if you want to look.

Do you know when/where it was taken? More hotness in Tignes

For Sephora: Sorry for the blurriness.

Does anybody have the full picture of this (with the 5 Angels):

The bigger the contract, the more exclusive it gets. It works for every brand. For instance Adriana Lima couldn't do that naked VS make-up ad because of her contract with Maybelline.

VS officially hires models only 18 and older since the Isabeli controversy but many recent models have been 16 or 17 years old. They mostly do Pink though.Getting a contract doesn't mean you're an Angel, there are different types of contracts, the "Pink Girl" for instance isn't an Angel, Lindsay and Emanuela were hired as spokespersons for BBV and weren't Angels. I don't think there's any age limit to be an Angel but if we follow VS's policy to hire only girls who are at least 18 and assuming they would only become Angels if they sell well, then you'd have to be 19 at least to be an Angel, with one year to prove your worth. The Angels concept basically started with a campaign shot in 1997, which featured Helena Christensen, Stephanie Seymour, Daniela Pestova, Karen Mulder and Tyra Banks. For some reason it became widely popular and VS started thinking about using the term "Angels" for its biggest models, as Helena, Karen, Tyra, Daniela & Stephanie were already being called "the Angels" by the media. During 1997-1998 Stephanie Seymour, Daniela Pestova, Karen Mulder and Tyra Banks were basically in every Angel related work, while other big VS models rotated around them. Helena Christensen did the 1997 Christmas catalog and the 1998 English Lace campaign, Laetitia Casta did the 1997 Christmas commercial and the 1998 Dream Angels campaign, Yasmeen Ghauri appeared in the 1998 catalog wearing Angels underwear, Chandra North did the 1998 runway show and Inés Rivero did the Angels 2000 (held in 1998) campaign and the 1998 Dream Angels campaign, which left us with Stephanie Seymour, Daniela Pestova, Karen Mulder, Tyra Banks, Laetitia Casta and Inés Rivero as the Angels in late 1998. Somewhen between then and the 1999 show, Heidi joined the line-up and Inés was removed (although she continued to walk at the show until 2001). In Cannes the line-up was still the same but after that Karen Mulder, Laetitia Casta and Stephanie Seymour left (although Casta appeared in the 2002 What is Sexy commercial). Daniela Pestova left in early 2002. During that time, Gisele Bundchen and Adriana Lima were brought in as reinforcements. Alessandra Ambrosio was added in time for the Angels Across America tour in 2004 (and was the original "PINK girl") and Karolina, who had pretty much been doing Angel duties since 2002 anyways, was added in early 2005. Because of Tyra's retirement in 2005 and Heidi's pregnancies, they added Selita and Izabel in late 2005, then Marisa in 2007, partly because they realized that they didn't have any American on the line-up anymore. Gisele left in 2007 and then PINK Girl Miranda Kerr was upgraded to Angel status. They also hired Doutzen Kroes in 2008 while Behati became the new PINK Girl. Kind of at the same time, Izabel left, supposedly for breach of contract. When Selita's and Karolina's contracts expired in 2008, they weren't renewed. In early 2010, Marisa disappeared from all VS-realted stuff leading people to believe she's no longer an Angel. Since then, she has been re-added as a Supermodel but only did the Swim catalog. Selita and Izabel are still walking at VSFS, as of the latest show. And that's pretty much where we're at, with VS grooming Candice Swanepoel, Rosie Huntington, Lindsay Ellingson, Chanel Iman and Erin Heatherton to become Angels some day. Chandra and Yasmeen probably never got "Angels contract" as it was just the beginning of the concept. Rebecca Romijn never did anything Angel-related but because some website (http://www.tvacres.com/admascots_angels.htm) said she did, people believed it and it even made it onto Wikipedia. Other models who were "featured" but not Angels: Eva Herzigova, Rhea Durham, Shakara Ledard, Daniela Urzi, Ana Hickman, Isabeli Fontana, Oluchi Onweagba, Ana Beatriz Barros, Deanna Miller, Susan Elridge, Jessica Van Der Steen, Linda Vojtova, This Girl, Angela Lindvall, Jessica Stam, Flavia de Oliveira, Emanuela De Paula, Kylie Bisutti, Jamie Lee Darley & other model search contestants, Brooklyn Decker, Jarah Mariano, Gracie Carvahlo, Aminata Niaria, Arlenis Sosa, Heloïse Guerin, Katsia Zingarevich... The original Angels: Yasmeen with the Angels: Laetitia as a Christmas Angel Elf: Swim Angels: Angels 2000: Christmas Angels: Angels in Cannes: Arena June 00 (no Gisele): Angels across America: Late 2005: 2007 show: 2008 show: Now:

I was just explaining where I got the impression from, no big deal. And Wikipedia, really?

They profiled all the girls, actually.

2001 show credits And end commercial Question: why show only 4 Angels out of 5?

Considering Gisele had a "5-year contract" which ran from 2000 to 2007, well... But ok.

Really? Because she didn't do any major "Angel" work until late 2001. She wasn't even credited at the 2001 show and didn't wear wings in the catalog until 2002 AFAIK, so I just assumed she got signed in 2001.

And what I'd like to know is who the black model (not Oluchi, the other one) os. But nobody seems to know...

Yup. And she's not the only one. As you may all know, speculation about the next VSFS has just begun, well, I have answers for you. You want to know who will open, who will walk, who will sing? Well I do not have that kind of answers... yet! However, I can tell you who the newest Bombshell Supermodel Angel will be! And rumor has it, she will wear the Fantasy Bra too. Well, actually, she is not all that new. You may remember for being class in the flesh. You may remember her for her love of animals. But you really must remember her for wearing one of VS's most iconic swimsuits on the runway! That's right, the original Slowmotion Lifeguard ® (Pictured below), seen during one of VS's first fashion show! I now give you, wearing the trademark wings, during rehersal (Too soon what? Haven't you watched last year's model search? Yeah, me neither, but they did apparently say that you have to go through a whole lot of bootcamp and stuff and that takes time): With the iconic suit: Don't believe me, huh? There you go:

Laeticia, Gisele and Adriana: 20 Karolina and Izabel: 21 Selita: 22 Tyra, In

Hey, no need to get your Nakeds in a bunch, I was just correcting something. And as I said before, what got people confused was VS itself through its Facebook, that stupid Angel competition and so on... Even the girls say they are Angels when they're (apparently), but TBH, who cares? No need to get so pissy... On a side note, the Ana Hickman thing was in 2002. The 2001 one featured Daniela Pestova. Also, I've always gotten the feeling that Supermodels was a new-ish thingy that ranked higher than regular spokesmodels like Emanuela for instance.

I love how nobody even noticed that post. Good for her to do Vogue again. The pics are nice.BTW I'm thinking of moving to Cannes soon.

Actually it's since 2008 and there's no proof that it was Ed Razek who said it. It wasn't even in quotes.

They may not be Angels but VS sure is using them a lot: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=419737073342

This one: And still the one from the body bare commercial
