Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2013 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)
Let me answer this quick: Why do they focus on new girls: press (Cara), brand longevity (Barbara, Sara, Jac) Lais broke her foot: dramaaaaaaa, also, heavily used contracted catalogue girl, makes her relatable, but she's too much of a PR flop to be an Angel, Adriana is enough Why don't they talk about the older girls: all the Angels had a decent speaking role. Sure some were omitted here and there but as you said, we pretty much know everything there is to know at this point, so all they really do is spit out the lines VS feed them Gay dad/Lesbian mom: no one curr, it's 2013. English music: Guess what: Neon Jungle (not Fire) are English, so they just were a few segments late. Elsa has a great ass: I agree.

Her 15th anniversary is about now actually. She shot her first commercial with VS (the Cotton one with Laetitia and Heidi IIRC) in late 1998 and it aired in early 1999. They always refer to it as her first job, meaning it happened before the VSFS 1999 which was held on Feb 3. 1999. Counting castings and the holidays, I doubt it happened in the short remaining 1999 window. Her 15th anniversary as an Angel would be some time after May 18, 2015 considering she was reportedly hired as Angel "after the Cannes fashion show" with no clear date given (and oddly being omitted in the, albeit brief, 2001 opening which featured Gisele, Daniela, Tyra & Heidi). Also, Lindsay is getting married next summer, so she's definitely getting the Fantasy bra, the PR blitz has already begun.

I personally think that it's Doutzen's call to work less with VS rather than the other way around. She chooses to spend more time with her family and that's OK.

Jasmine Tookes, Constance Jablonski, Maryna Linchuk, Sara Sampaio, Shanina Shaik, Barbara Fiahlo, Gracie Carvahlo, Cara Delevingne and Elsa Hosk. These are the non Angels I'd like to see again. Shannan Click too because of her creativity when it comes to posing. Never fails to brighten my day.

Nice pics for Anthropologie. And even nicer to see she's doing stuff other than VS. Also, apparently her boyfriend fiancé is a medical Equipment sales rep.

Barbara F has done some catalogue work for VS but not much so far. She has been seen at a photoshoot on the beach recently but I'm not sure if it was for VS swim or not.

Oh, there are definitely some models who don't like one another. Chanel didn't seem to be very liked by some of the models and Candice and Lindsay always come off very frosty towards each other, which is why I was surprised that they were seated next to each other at this year's viewing party.

They call the runway models Angels. Not all the models. And I'm waaaayyyy too lazy to count the Americans and Brazilians.

The Official Victoria's Secret Thread
IKR? Stephanie Seymour, Tyra Banks, Marisa Miller, Erin Heatherton, Chanel Iman, Lily Aldridge, Lindsay Ellingson & Karlie Kloss. Throw in Heidi if you count imports. Then again, they never, ever get Adriana's career dates right, so...

Sara Sampaio
If you think VS always choose the best outcome out of the two tapings, you're sorely mistaken. Just ask Karolina Kurkova. Twice.

Gracie Carvalho
And Behati.

We love VS. We just love complaining a wee bit more.

Does anyone know why Cara and Hilary are missing from the Class of 2013 shot they flashed at the end? Because they were there when they took it.

Well, good for him I guess. You'll find me crying in my Gorgeous push-up for the next few hours or so.

So VSAA isn't listing Lindsay in their description for the commercial.

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2013 (GENERAL DISCUSSION)
My thoughts: Opening: Those credits suck. Yay! Elsa got credited. And again, yay! Lais didn't! British Invasion: Daaaaaamn Candice looks bad. Yay! Cara! And they actually showed her walk. No one curr Taylor Swift, no. one. curr. Segment 1: Oh it's the "that was my first VS show" bit again! That is brand new information!!!!! Wait, is it me or did Lindsay disappear? I love Alessandra, lucky girl, indeed. Shipwrecked: So they didn't even bother with that other A Great Big World guy... Fine by me, he has no point anyway. Where's Xtina, tho... Also, stop touching the damn piano! Damn these girls love swaying their trains.... Segment 2: Release Lily? El Oh El! I'd get stuck on a deserted island with Lindsay and Alessandra. That's kind of racist Behati, tbh. I don't think that Lily shares that sentiment Karlie. Yay! Lindsay. Wait, how does she know where I live? And what time it is? Segment 3: Yay! Barbara! And it's the good one! Parisian Nights: Didn't know those letters. And that Molly song sucks... No Cara, you were doing so well. Why is the music still going? Segment 4: Fun fact: I didn't know that turned the Eiffel lights off at night. Shut up Karlie. I love how they have Lindsay talk and talk and talk and then she's in the commercial for half a second. I don't quite get the difference between goofy and sexy Behati, tbh. The Lais bit: No one curr... Also, you fell, it's not the end of the world. Wanna know how it happened? Gravity. Birds of Paradise : Hey, Lais? Don't trip! I kind of like that song. Go, Ale! Lol the blue hands! Way to ruin the moment, Pete! ... Why is the music still going? Segment I lost count: Stop pretending you don't feel sexy! We don't buy it. That was cute though. What was the point of having Alessandra along with the other 3 girls? She didn't say a word! Social media/PINK network: Yay, Cara! Also, it's funny how they casually pointed out she was a great social-media-er and then bam, she was ready for the interview! Get that high priority make-up! Like that coke thing Cara? Indeed Karlie. Stop the made up words. Good for you Sara and Jac. What a pompous Neon Jungle introduction. PINK is a mess, as usual. Dis gon be good. That's a lot of Jessica for someone who was "fired". No Elsa ass, someone's gonna be pissed. Loved it. They really nailed it this time. Segment sport: Oh, it's eye-patch guy. It's a fashion show, it's not that serious. Teehee I love to sweat! *giggles* SEND TAYLOR! NAOW! We saw that butt slap before. Snow Angels: Taylor sounds strained. Is it me or does Adam have a thing for Behati. It's really subtle but it's there. They didn't mention it was the Swarovski costume. That Lily bit was cute. I barely noticed that Magdalena had an encounter with Christian Gray before the show (get it? Because of the tampon... Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!) Finale: Roar >>>> Applause, FYI. Well, they cut Magdalena. Photo: I was wondering when Taylor's shocked face would show up. Also, shut up Taylor. Also on a side note: Am I supposed to know who the black guy they kept showing is? Cause I don't.

Alessandra, Lindsay and Doutzen have been in promo videos for the show. Fewer than some other girls but still.

The Totally Spurious Victoria's Secret Thread
My mistake, she didn't look that French to me. FMD lists her ethnicity as "Italian/Congolese", so she's an import. I'd rather have that Jablonski girl (Constance? Jacqueline?). Such a French name, right? And IKR? Next thing you know they'll have German people walking the show. Could you imagine? Either way, I hope VS does the wise thing and edits everyone but Cindy out of that segment.

The Totally Spurious Victoria's Secret Thread
So I need to get this off my chest (which, you may very well assume is looking plumper than usual thanks to a VS two-cup push-up): Victoria's Secret is so RACIST! I mean, the whole Wild Things debacle was bad enough, then came Karlie's Thanksgiving but right now they didn't just cross the line, they catwalked all over it in classy 6'' heels. I count a grand total of 0. ZERO. Zee Ee Ar Oh. French models in the Parisian nights runway section. It is a severe case of Frenchface and I cannot condone it. Like hasn't VS learned by now that only Black people can portray black culture, Natives native culture and French french culture? And that people don't like blondes (and yes, I know this is completely besides the point, but can this ever be pointed out too often? I think not.) And then they added insult to injury by having them walk to the beat of a Molly Cyrus song. Like couldn't they use a song from France's vast repertoire like Edith Piaf's or Daft Punk's? No, they had to use that of a culture appropriating twerking tomboy with hypoglossal nerve deficiency. We don't even let people express their cultures in France! And then there's the fact that this reinforces the Lido®-Moulin Rouge®-Crazy Horse® stereotype that Paris is full of sluts and French women put out all the time. They are even, get that, parading in lingerie! Get it right VS, since Sarkozy, the prostitutes have been relegated to the suburbs and the forests! French women have class and dignity. Nabilla Benattia is Swiss, not French, Goshdangit! I will never, ever get back together watch the VS show ever again, now! BTW, does anybody know when it airs in France, I need to set up my Tivo.
