I totally buy Miranda earning more than Adriana because she has equity. And even though she was dropped... she is laughing all the way to the bank as they say in situations like that. Candice's entry is interesting but since she is working a ton with Victoria's Secret she is obviously bringing in the results for the company which in turn means bonuses / options etc. in her favour.

I agree that Doutzen's name being missing is a little weird because they still had Candice. Usually, that list has included many Angels so I wonder if now they have gotten more accurate intel on the contracts and found out that the Angels aren't necessarily the queens of the paycheck anymore since there are other big contracts to be had like Estée Lauder. I bet being an Angel limits job possibilities in a way that a smart high fashion / commercial favorite can work the markets in a more lucrative way.

I'm most excited for Xenia Deli, Candice Boucher and Michelle Vawer. I wish Alicia Hall could make an appearance too! It would be cool to see more former SI models for SISA. Lucia Dvorska, Esti Ginzburg, Melissa Haro, Melissa Baker, Daniela Sarahyba, Jessica White, Tori Praver... Veronika Varekova would probably be too much to ask

Yeah, you can tell that Lily is a nice person by also watching her interviews because I don't remember seeing one where she was really off whereas with some girls there have been weird vibes once in awhile. I've also read some comments people have made about meeting models and while some girls seem to be polarizing like Behati, Magdalena etc. I have yet to see a bad review about Lily. Ale was recently with Miranda and I liked that since by then Miranda was not an Angel. Maybe there are more get-togethers but others just aren't documented like in Alessandra's or Miranda's case. But VS friendships are sometimes hard to figure out because I wouldn't have guessed that Doutzen and Candice would hang out together outside of work if it weren't for those Miami beach pictures. I don't think they were 100 % on a paparazzi stroll because Candice was also interacting with Doutzen's son.

I would give the best friend award to Lily. She seems to be friendly with everyone from Alessandra and Miranda to Adriana and Candice. Erin is the godmother to her child. And she doesn't just live in the VS bubble since she was recently hanging out with Kate Upton

Yeah, I would say that someone like Fox is glaringly biased even to the casual observer so it seems like the news can be more about shopping for people. They listen to what they like to hear. I'm pretty new to conspiracies so I just read all kinds. It's quite interesting but at the same can get too dark. I'm also someone who can be really into one subject and a little while later not think about it for a long time. I tend to find the ones dealing with governments more plausible because there are numerous examples of past and present atrocities. And of course knowing what kind of people the positions of power can attract.

Okay cool There were a few words that caught my eye and made me think of conspiracies but now I see it's more about understanding that people have vested interests and certain groups control different media so one can't always fully believe even the news. I find that the most outrageous theories can have a smidgen of truth that makes you think so if nothing else it's entertaining

Hmm, want to confess to having the word "conspiracy" in your vocabulary? Recently I have taken an interest in those theories.

Does this inspiration picture from SwimDaily make anyone else think that Barbara might be a contender for the issue?

Funny how opinions differ even when it comes to how cute a child appears because I've seen some pictures of Alessandra's kid and she has always looked so expressive and cute whereas Adriana's child seldom made me go aww. (I'm not really a child person.) Baby pictures were adorable though as it always is when there is interaction between the mother and a child and both are happy. I hope the children will grow up healthy and gorgeous in their own right because Adriana is such an exceptional beauty I don't think it can ever be recreated. Magic happened when Adriana's parents got together but I think even if she had a sister it would be pretty unlikely to have two equally stunning girls.

Source: Kate's Twitter A video of Kate being interviewed by Vogue at the Met Gala Seems like filming the movie is as fun as the pictures show.

^ I noticed the same thing happen when she was with Candice and Alessandra so I think Victoria's Secret needs to do a social experiment and have Karlie be the first girl from the side the fans are coming in to take a picture. If the fans still move over to stand between the other two models, we have a major problem. And Erin was so half-assed in the end XD

I wish she could at least do smaller roles first, the kind where filming takes only two weeks or so. And If I had been part of her management I would have tried to get her a role in Sin City 2. XD The first one was filled with all kinds of beautiful women and I think the casting was different from the norm. Jaime King, Jessica Alba, Alexis Bledel etc.

Last night was the first time that I had a dream about Kate Upton. I feel kinda weird about it. She was kidnapped and me and other people were trying to rescue her. It all ended well. PS. Prettyphile that is quite a confession. I sometimes read real crime stories so to be inadvertently part of a murder case...

Adriana has star power which is very hard to learn whereas almost anyone can become better at acting if they practise. And that star power can go a long way especially when you need to fill up the silver screen. She has also had great training through modelling because she has had to learn to use her body and not rely on words when conveying an emotion. I think many directors would go crazy if they found out they got to cast such a beauty in their movie. I was watching clips of Salma Hayek in From Dusk Till Dawn and I think that kind of grindhouse movie could work out surprisingly well for her. And of course Vicky Cristina Barcelona

I remember that in one interview Adriana said that she wants to act but first her accent needs to get better. Well, she has been living in the USA for quite some time now, speaking English with her husband I presume so it's not gonna get any better if it already hasn't. So I hope she won't let that hold her back anymore! She might be able to make her accent her thing like Sofía Vergara, Penelope Cruz etc. (Not expecting her to be an Oscar winner calibre actress.) And she might actually find speaking easier when she has a specific script to learn and a dialect coach. Now the scene she did for Ugly Betty was cringeworthy but if she can bring that quality we see in her commercial work (like "What Is Sexy" Michael Bay commercials) she would have something really special to add to a scene.

Shanina's look really pops on the runway so I want to see her back. Right now I don't need to see Xenia Deli on the runway, her getting more catalogue work with Victoria's Secret would be amazing enough for me. I was really baffled that Anna Jagodzinska made only one appearance! To me she was the most beautiful at the 09 show, even beating the Angels. That year was a weird one for many girls. Rosie was super hot however

Modelling seems not to be the issue but Victoria's Secret specifically. My guess is that they hear about all the job offers they can't take, see other successful models doing all sorts of interesting things and as much as they like being an Angel the work is pretty similar year after year. Even as a viewer it gets a little boring sometimes to see them go to the same places. One show is the highlight, going to a swim vacation/work is great but there really doesn't seem to be that much variety. Every year they do the same things basically. These are some spoiled bitches we are talking about ;D And I don't usually do the whole "Oh wow that is their job while millions upon millions are slaving away at factories" but seeing this video made that thought pop into my head

It seems like being an Angel starts to lose its luster after some time. I would say that someone like Adriana is an exception. Others seemed to have declared "I want way more money or a less strict contract or I'm out". There were rumours about Gisele and Miranda etc. and Doutzen confirmed it in a way.

She is just telling the truth. There is no one else at least amongst the Angels who has 3-4 major contracts. Many are lucky enough to land one. And why would she mention L'Oréal when Victoria's Secret is the one who is in direct competition with H&M clothing. Obviously, she is a gold mine when it comes to selling products and an image or otherwise these brands would not want to share her and would look for a new girl with no other big contracts.

To me that shot of her holding a book is perfection! I love that vintage feeling. She looks like Marilyn Monroe! And I love that she got the September issue!

Kate is going to be on the cover of Elle September issue 2013!

So my favorites to come back are Genevieve Morton (confirmed), Alyssa Miller, Jessica Gomez and Nina Agdal. I'm glad Kate Bock has another chance. However, Natasha was my favorite rookie due to her coloring so I hope she will make an appearance. Anne V is a hit or miss for me depending on her hair styling. I do think that if they are going to give her more appearances than they have ever given to a model she should have a higher SI profile... Otherwise the whole thing seems redundant. I feel for Julie Henderson but if they are not going to send her to a location like Israel (dreaming of Egypt even though it's impossible) I don't think she should necessarily come back. Cintia Dicker has great lips and looks amazing in blue, Jessica Perez has an interesting look, Emily Didonato looks gorgeous in beauty campaigns, Chrissy has an amazing body, Irina can be hot as hell and Ariel looks great in red but I'm not that adamant about them returning.

Katsia was so outstanding in the Holiday campaign that it was a real shame she stopped working for VS. Thankfully there is Magdalena who has a similar aesthetically pleasing look! I would like to see Xenia Deli beyond the PINK line. She can have a cute vibe but she is often full on sexy which would lend itself to showcasing the lingerie pieces.
