crazy ride

Seriously? I don't know how you can't see that it's been confirmed 382425 times by now...written by an "intern who doesn't know anything" or not, they have editors who read things before they get posted, and VS isn't going to put stuff on their website that isn't written with correct information. But that's okay, keep on denying it! "Our fourth #BeachAngel is… @hoskelsa!! Did u get it right? Look for her & the rest of the Angels in Swim 2015, hitting shores this Friday. #OwnTheBeach" that's the caption from the official VS instagram.

http://vsallaccess.victoriassecret.com/2014/12/17/highlights-from-the-ultimate-viewing-party/ "Dec 17, 2014 - It was touted as the Ultimate Viewing Party and, for the more than 300 lucky fans in Boise who got to watch the 2014 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show with VS Angel Elsa Hosk, it lived up to its expectations. The party took over the area in front of Victoria's Secret at Boise Town Square, and featured a sweets bar and live DJ. In addition to watching the show when an Angel, guests were treated to a demonstration of her runway walk. Angel cardholders got early entry to the party and reserved seating, while many others hung out on the second floor to watch the show from an equally heavenly vantage point. After the show, the store was open late for guests to shop with a special offer. They also got to take home their keepsake entry bracelets. Fans in Boise tweeted, snapped and Instagrammed their way through a series of social media challenges to bring the party to Boise, beating out 58 other cities in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canada." I know we all knew she had it, but the few naysayers out there dragging their feet and refusing to say anything until "VS confirms it" there you go...from VS's own website, in their own words. Congratulations, Elsa!

TBH I think the whole "#somethingbigiscoming" is just a way to stir up people's interest and get people talking...I'd be surprised if it's anything more than them shooting the cover of this year's first swim catalog or something.

Those BTS VS swim pics are amazing, she looks so sultry, and seductive. I have a feeling a lot of people will see her and do a double take saying "WHO'S THIS NEW MODEL" not realizing it's the same girl from Pink because she's not laughing and jumping in the typical "Elsa Pink" poses and shots. I love Behati and adore her as a VS model, but I think she sometimes struggles to pull off the sexy/sultry stuff VS likes for swim and lingerie as well as some of the other girls do (IE Candice and Adriana). That's probably why she was so awesome for Pink for as long as she was. I think part of it, for Behati is that her personality is just so playful and goofy, but Elsa also seems to have a very warm, friendly, and bubbly personality but DAMN girl can go from FUN! PINK! YAY! COLLEGE GIRL! BE MY BFF! right into BOOM - SEXY. And that...is pretty damn great. VS better hang on to her for a long time if they know what's good for them.

First time I noticed that she has a big scar in her spinal area. Yikes! That's definitely a surgical scar from some sort of open back surgery (I worked at an orthopedic surgeon's office for years and saw them quite frequently). Can't see how high up it goes to know what it may have been for. Possibly to correct scoliosis when she was younger, or an injury? It's pretty well faded so if I had to guess I'd say her surgery was at least 3+ years ago.

She looked fabulous in Pink, as usual, but in Fairy Tale? Wow, so fierce, from her expression to the way she flicked her train around...amazing. She was just fabulous!

I believe it's Verses Versace SS15 (the middle one)

C: You're the new face of PINK! What does that mean to you? EH: "PINK is such a fun, energetic brand to work for! They really are like my second family away from home. My time with Pink means a lot and I am thrilled to continue on in the VS Family." Sounds like the interviewer is using some out of date info. Elsa's been the "face of Pink" for years now...and Elsa's reply sounds like a polite way of saying she's transitioning without full out saying it (since VS hasn't confirmed officially, I think what Elsa can say is limited).

HEY THANKS! I'd been wanting to see that! I hate how the people in the beginning were kind of throwing blame at Elsa. I mean, really it was no one's fault, but when you watch the whole thing you can see Elsa tried to move around her a few times, but Ariana was dancing around so much that she backed right up into Elsa. It wasn't her fault, and those wings were massive, between Ariana and all her dancers its not exactly like Elsa had anywhere to go!

I say very good, since the performer was Hozier who was the least popular performer, he doesn't have dancers and he is also not the most handsome man out there either so i dont think VS will focus on him, kind of like Shipwrecked last year and Silver Screen Angels in 2012 ... I say the girls from Gilded Angels and Fairy Tale will be the ones who get more runway time. I'm glad they switched Elsa from Dream Girl to Fairy Tale, i think it will work in her favor. Also, Elsa has a good shot of getting decent screentime in Pink too because i'm sure VS will show the Ariana moment and then show Elsa/Ariana talking a little bit about it, it has been everywhere and we all know VS loves good PR and awkward runway moments so i'm sure that one will make the cute. Everyone else in Pink is screwed tho. Looks like we already have a view of what the edited version of Elsa's Pink walk is going to look like, these are the clips they send out for press to play in intros before interviews and stuff (YAY they're using Elsa's walk again this year for it!) and you can see Ariana made sure to be well out of Elsa's way that time I'd be very surprised if they show them almost crashing into each other, even if it gets people talking simply because it makes the show appear less seamless and "perfect" and I think that's very important to them. One of the big reasons they film it twice is to keep mistakes like that from ending up in the final edit of the show.

Does he usually go? I don't remember seeing him there that often. I know her whole family came last year, maybe because she had the FB and was opening the show. Perhaps this year she felt it wasn't as big of a year for her, and told them they didn't need to travel, or with it being in London it wasn't as easy for them to get to. Who knows. Can't imagine anyone not wanting to attend given the opportunity, right??

When her fitting video never ended up coming out with the rest of them I started to wonder if it was filmed for something for the show. Maybe a little bio sort of thing like they did for Candice in 2012? "Meet our new angel"? We can only hope!

Because of 3 seconds in an interview from the angels getting ready to board their flight to London, Elsa said she was hoping to sightsee and Candice quickly said there'd be no time for that, then Elsa said she hoped to sleep on the plane and Candice said there'd be no time for sleeping either. It was nothing, if anything a tiny bit of a big-sister type of "you don't know what you're in for" thing, but people will always make something out of nothing......

I think graceful is the perfect term. Elsa handled herself beautifully in that situation. She didn't make a face, she didn't look annoyed, irritated, scared, nervous, or even a little thrown off by the near collision. I mean, those wings were huge and if they'd crashed it's likely Elsa could have taken a big spill, which would have been a horrible way to kick off her career as an Angel. But instead she smiled it off, didn't let it phase her (or at least not outwardly) and kept walking as her usual, bubbly, happy self. This is one of the things that has always drawn me to Elsa. She exudes sweetness, and I just love that about her.

Instagram: @taylorswift I'm in love with @marhunt and @lilyaldridge Martha, Lily, and Taylor were at the 1975 concert in NYC tonight. Martha's going to take over Karlie's position as Tay's new BFF I think

Karlie's interview skills need some serious polishing...there's just something about the way she talks that makes it difficult for me to ever watch her in interviews. It's like she's trying too hard to be cute? I don't know...I really can't put my finger on it at all. For someone who's been an Angel for what a year now? I would have expected her interview skills to have improved but she was all over the place. Elsa was fabulous, I think her time in Pink has polished her interview skills a great deal. I remember when she first started doing interviews with Pink she was very giggly, and came across as nervous. Giggly I certainly don't mind, one of my favorite things about Elsa is that its impossible to watch the girl talk and not smile because she always seems so damn happy, but I know not everyone may hare that opinion and could see giggly as ditzy. Her smile is radiant, she speaks eloquently (especially for someone who uses English as a second language) and was interesting to listen to. I'd say she, Martha, Candice, and Behati did the best out of everyone in that video.

The pic of her and her dad is super cute!

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but after looking at all the other outfits everyone had this year, it looks like Candice was the only one to get three pairs of wings

Prettyphile has posted some untagged HQ's here: http://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/55861-martha-hunt-runway-hq/ She looked so beautiful. I'm glad she got the outfit for Angel's Ball, as the Dream Girls/Dream Angels (whatever that segment was called) outfit didn't really do much for me. The wings were pretty, but that bustier top did NOTHING to show off or flatter Martha's awesome figure.

LOL those last two pictures from her Pink sections...look like the musician almost got taken out by her wings. It's happened so many times, I wish the musicians would be more conscious when they're dancing up and down the runway that these models have giant wings they can't maneuver at the drop of a hat. I remember when Karlie almost took out Adam Levine with her giant jellyfish wings, and I believe Rihanna almost got nailed a couple times by some floral wings. Remember, musicians, this isn't your concert, it's a runway show!!

Sorry...I will...go back and figure out how to make those thumbnails...

Yay! Martha got two outfits, both with wings, I'm so happy for her!

Found these on Tumblr...

AWW! She looks like a real grown up angel!! :')
