Souled-Out

Right? Even just standing her body looks... she doesn't even look as tall as she is. This sucks honestly. Every year now, she over does it and it makes her look bad. This is why other user aren't even excited to see what she will look like anymore, because she always manages to mess her looks up JUST for this show. Thats why I am questioning, why this is happening. I don't think its just because she loves fitness so much, Adriana only does this stuff and look this way for this show. She feels the need to but she goes overboard. If her body stays like this it won't look right in lingerie. Its like she is trying to show people she is still something great but she ends up doing the opposite. Why is it so hard for her to look the way she does before the show? As far as her being pale goes, We just have to pray she atleast tans but thats not a big of a deal compared to what her body will be looking like. Her face is still holding up good and better than last year but its still clear she lost weight in the face. I would rather her look the way she did during this year's versace show. She was tanned, she had muscle but it wasn't this much and her face had more weight to it (which makes her look younger) I think and hope she looked tired because she was sick. I hope it wasn't because of all that working out also. She need to chill. She looked better earlier in the year and its sad she thinks she is helping her appearance for the show. She needs to be softer. I don't think its just dino, I think its her mindset too. Yeah dino does have something to do with it because he trains atheltes, so now Adriana is looking like one and not a model as much. But I also think she wants him to train her alot. I just really hope she realizes she isn't looking her best and that she looked better earlier this year, she doesn't have to push herself so much. She will be in lingerie... not athletic clothes, she shouldn't look like pro wrestler

I think she was just being herself, Adriana can be weird, esp during this time as you said. Her personality was just so much during this time lol, I don't mean it in a bad way though

People have been reacting to her body so badly. Everybody is calling it awful. I haven't seen one person who was impressed with how muscular she has gotten and sad thing is she will probably only be working out even more until the show and she will be even more muscular. I don't think its right for people to complain about her waist because its obviously a result of her having kids and she literally can't help it, its very wrong to highly criticize that area of her body and how square it is. Maybe she has overdone it with the muscle though. I think it would look awkward in lingerie for VS if she is VERY muscular.Nothing wrong with being toned and having muscele but she has alot. I actually hope they cover her up this year, because personally for me, it has always looked weird for somebody to have so much muscle and in like a bikini. She would look more like a fitness model instead of a top model. AND she has somehow worked her ass away and her boobs (I think its just the bra though because bella looked pretty flat in that bra herself) But her ass is gone lol. Maybe she did loose more weight than I realized because Adriana's ass has never been so flat. She obviously worked it off. I feel like she is under alot of pressure everytime this show comes around and ends up overworking herself and she is doing it again I'm not sure if this is because she is freakishly into fitness or because she is pressured to look what she THINKS is best for her looks. I think if she goes on the runway looking like this she would end up getting the most intense hate for her body she has ever gotten. She already has but its gonna get worse

Guys, those of you who wanted to have access to the old Adriana Lima fan site that had like all of her pics and started in 2006, but couldn't because the site shut down due to money, its back up! http://www.adrianalimafan.com/

she probably isn't a guest for this week. She wasn't on the guest list for it. Its probably next week. Since its closer for the show

But four segments with two ways to have a moment (opening and closing) + a special bra + special outfit. Just like there are alot of new angels, there are also alot of ways to distribute roles within VS and I think there only being 3 old angels is more convenient, things could actually happen more evenly than they are. I think VS should just let the old angels go, their purpose is actually questionable. Besides the fact that people still like them globally Like I said before, this sucks really for the fans more than anything. Adriana has done alot. She still gets paid in millons. Alessandra, has done enough, and gets paid alot. but people like who they like and they are gonna want the best for them, and those people are the viewers and consumers, If they don't like whats going on, they are gonna act on it and they have. And it won't be good for VS in the long run as long as the oldies are there.

oh my god . I didn't even realize she did that

Say the fans are right though, New angel got a FB. New angel got the swarvoski outfit. Atleast two new angels opening a segment. New angel closing the show. New angel opening the show(so three new angels opening a segment, out of 4 NON-pink ones). More than half of the segment openings are going to a new angel. I don't understand how some of you all don't see why people are fed up about ^ that is pretty ridiculous. Its like what is the point of the old angels?? Oh to still bring in the maxim press the show needs so that those viewers can actually watch models they didn't come for, more. VS def knows adriana and alessandra are their most global names and thats the real reason they keep them. Its just BS for the fans.Yesterday we were talking about a balance of the kinds of angels to be hired, VS won't even balance the kind of attention and spotlight is gonna be given. If all the guesses are true, the new angels have gotten everything at one time.They are using the older angels as the ones to bring in even more people, so they can expose them more. Thats why i'm holding out on waiting to see who is opening. Because it would be ridiculous for a new angel to open too. I don't care what old angel opens, but one should. I wouldn't put it past VS to do that but boy is it stupid in MY opinion esp with how people outside of this forum feel about VS. I feel like they should try harder at giving people what they want, while they still can. The fact that more fans are getting riled up about something + the decline in the show views from last year, I think it would be better if VS did things differently.

Protests have now begun for ale about opening a section. I mean, I am all for boycotting VS at this point lol, BUT who said she was not opening anything??? She was in the fittings video. They didn't show her reaction to anything or said she was opening something like they did for Adriana, but neither did they for elsa or lilly. They only showed two reactions of models who are opening. Sara is closing. I don't think they specified stella closing or opening. I can def see ale still opening a segment.

She got a bad sense of style so lol.

When she didn't have kids. That just happened to her body. Adriana has did everything and her body has went through changes based on her work out routine but never did the waist she had pre 2010 come back. Obviously its just not going to. Thats just what happens to her body when she has kids. I'm surprised anybody on here would act like they didn't know that. Waist training certainly wouldn't help, that stuff is bad for your body and internal organs, this brand isn't worth that.

So it wasn't just me who noticed this lol. I noticed he was being extra funny to behati. Luckily it was behati so, she is able to go along with it.

yeah she did

I think the way she posed and flexed in certain pics made it look more muscular than it really is I'd rather her look like this then like last year. Last year she lost alot of weight but didn't gain muscle when working out and it just made her look bad. She has gained muscle everywhere and I think thats why her face still looks ok. I also think she probably needs muscle because her waist is just gone. It would look awkward if she didn't have any or as much muscle with her body shape. Basically, I prefer her to have muscle lol she has some kind of weight on her. I also just realized she had a cold (she said it during the show) and that probably explains why she looks restless (I sport the same bags when I have gotten little sleep)

I hope she gets some rest before the show, she looks like she hasn't gotten much sleep

I also think its because she is from an era of VS that many people see as their prime. She is a reminder of that time and thats another thing that makes it harder to mix the new angels with somebody like her and ale on top of their age and looks. VS has dug themselves in a hole I think. Adriana staying for so long benefits her thus far because of the money and every year is a reminder how she has managed to stay so long, which also makes her look good. But VS hurts from that because she is a reminder of how VS isn't what it used to be. And its killing us fans too because god knows all I want to do is not have to worry about what VS is doing lol but I do because of Adriana and Alessandra. As I said, I think VS is scared to let em go or they still know they can still milk them because they still have their appeal. But every year they keep it, its only gonna make it harder(unless they start looking like spoiled milk lol) The love for them is something serious, like people actually got emotional at adriana's video VS released today lol she attracts fans and crowds like that, its gonna be hard to try to phase her out. They need to just let them go. I say this every smh lol

and blog sites and other forums thats not BZ and tumblr. And don't let them be in a video with the new angels on youtube, it happens in the comments I'm not joking when I say people complain everywhere and its understandable. I agree I think people here are just into VS future more

Yeah, it has seriously gotten to the point when people talk about VS and the models, its in a bad way and they have to say excluding the older angels. Literally you can't escape the complaints esp when an oldie is seen doing something for VS and people complain about it still I am a part of a forum that don't get into fashion that much at all but ofc they know what VS is and how big it is and used to watch the show all the time and even they say it makes them sad whats happening.. I don't think there should be a big of difference as it is today with angels. Sure, ale, gisele, adriana, heidi, etc they were different in their own ways, but it worked. The NA and the old ones are too different. Its hard to make girls who remind some people of tweens fit into 27-35 year old grown women who have had kids and its even harder making those 27-35 year models look like those more tween like ones. And you know what, I know people like the NA here, but honestly the latter shouldn't be what is happening.People shouldn't expect for these grown up women to be like them. This is bras and panties and "sexy", visibly grown women shouldn't have to fit into angels that make people call the President of VS a pedophile for hiring them.

Usually the goal is to stoop UP in level but ok.

People here are lol Literally everywhere else people are complaining about those girls and what VS is today. I am active on other forums and if VS show rates and sales rates weren't an indicator for how people react to what VS is today on a general scale (not only with the angels but everything they did) lurk around other forums before coming to that conclusion lol

How? Not trying to annoy you but genuinely want to know what is the difference between her look in the commercial and Adriana? Actually thats another reason why she should stay because then Adriana would be the only one like that. Its good VS has two atleast

I know its just weird because she'd literally be the only active angel without one. I am sure taylor is next too since she shot for that stuff. And Lais . I am sure those three are next.

I agree, They put their foot into that one. I love how you're hearing backstage moments from past fashion shows. Her being around so long made it great and different... ya'll think ale will get one? It seems like they did this for the angels who shot for VSX and Ale hasn't...

This was good

anywhere anytime soon. But people still like alessandra. Its just VS doesn't play on it anymore. I like Adriana more and I do think she helps them alot with the company but Ale does and can too if actually utilized lol. Vs just don't and never did put as much emphasis on her as they did Adriana. For alot of people they are almost neck and neck. The only reason I think Ale should be let go is because VS themselves don't go to her. Before Adriana came back, I thought she too should be let go.I kinda feel like they want to, because they NEED to, but they are scared to. She is still a big name and people still correlate VS heavily with her and she is still hot enough. But thats just me But Ale is still some good herself
