Souled-Out

Well ofcourse they are going to wait closer to the show though

They posted her before this, she was one of the models who got a million likes on a picture they posted of her backstage

I don't think so, not exactly lol. If anything that seems she is TRYING to be positive and nice. Its probably correlated with how people think she is too good for him or something. I hope she didn't post that because thats how HE feels (that she is too much/good for him). It would not be the first time she did that for him. I mean, while people think its true, him being insecure himself is not good. This isn't the first time she posted a message like that for him. And as I said before, its obvious he is not a secure person, you can see by the little things he does, he isn't. And the fact that she posts quotes about love aimed at someone who is insecure... Smh, thats not good. I hope she knows its not a good sign and its important to have someone who is secure and who doesn't care what others say so much. Thats the reason why she is so censored herself now, she is with somebody who cares too much about what others say. The bad signs are shown to Adriana multiple times and she still brushes them off. In real life being in a relationship with someone who is so insecure about it is "trouble" but Adriana probably doesn't see it as trouble. About the viewing party, I honestly don't think models who are done with VS are meant to be there, I feel like Alessandra would have been there last year if she could

When they were on that yacht together he wasn't fat. But he has gained weight, and it was when she also gained weight. Thats what was annoying. Adriana has been into and great with fitness majority of her later years, but its clear this is the first guy she dated who isn't really into that. SOMETIMES he goes to the gym with her. YES, she did also gain weight with Joe but Joe was still a trainer. And I guess it doesn't matter that she is with someone who isn't into fitness, but it was just annoying to see for a brief period she was influenced by that. I am just glad she got herself back into it. Thank god for her puma contract, she has no choice but to keep up in the gym lol. Also, I don't think he is in miami anymore anyway. But thats only probably because soon one of them has to work. I wonder if she will go to the VS viewing party? I know ya'll expect her to because she didn't go to their after party BUT Alessandra didn't go to the viewing party last year. Which makes sense because after the show, thats when they are done being an angel. So, I don't think she will be at the viewing party. Because really she isn't an angel anymore. Like Alessandra, there is no need for her to be there. And also its hard to place how Adriana really feels about her retirement. Like I said before, she seemed to take it VERY hard. I hope she atleast posts about this years show one more time, especially since it is her LAST.

Taylor's talent though, I thinks thats where she lacks too much. She depends on her beauty alot. I know people said the same about Adriana in her HIGH FASHION work. But for VS and commercial, Adriana brought it! Taylor...not so much. Like Candice and others are way better than her at their job. Taylor only comes close to Adriana in terms of having a beautiful face. But nobody finds her sexy because she doesn't have that look and her opening this year? Honestly the worst they ever had. Adriana would never give VS the worst SHOW opening. Even when she walks regular, its still a good strut. The closest is Candice actually. Her face isn't seen as beautiful as Adriana's or taylor's. However her walk is good to alot of people, she looks good generally. She does have alot of sex appeal. She is surely the closest. Taylor is missing too much flavor lol. But its like what @Corner said, Adriana still isn't 100 percent matched. For me the reason why Candice doesn't match Adriana exactly is because of her personality, she is on the more shy and takes herself more serious side. And one of the best things about Adriana for people is that she ACTED like a girl next door and a regular person, like you said taylor does, but she didn't look girl next door. Adriana has beauty that alot of people feel is uncommon but she acts like a normal person and is more extroverted. People love that too. Taylor is kind of like that but Candice isn't. She is more "chill" I guess, I think her appeal is still more superficial and about her look than anything else. She isn't like Gisele, Adriana, or Tyra who are clearly out there when it comes to their personalities. Its alot though about Adriana that makes her unique, thats why I said she is the only angel today that can make people give a damn THIS much about a VS model retiring because she had more than the look. She the talent that made people want to copy her, the personality that people enjoyed, and she set GOALS while in the brand. When people care about you mostly for superficial reasons, they will only care so much about something like this. Adriana had more than a superficial appeal, so people care more.

Just like everybody else basically lol. But its crazy how stunned I am by these girls on IG and then I see regular photos of them and they truly do look like regular girls. Like the Cindy Kimberly girl, she looks amazing on her IG photos but every candid of her she looks normal. Adriana has the opposite affect, speaking of, I wonder which version they are going to post of her goodbye segment. I saw the one where she didn't cry, I was still in awe of how pretty she looked.

And NATURAL. People like to put models like Bella hadid on her level. But 1. Bella still doesn't have that appeal to me, work done and all. I still don't find her as beautiful. 2. Models like Adriana looked the way they did from day ONE. Adriana specifically, yes, she was seriously the most beautiful model I had ever seen for a long time.

I know right! Thats the funny part, Adriana leaving has been made a huge deal. The fact that even the rock paid respect to her for this, shows how big it is. You wouldn't think its lingerie modelling. Because not only are people making a huge deal out of it but everybody understands. NOBODY is saying "wtf its just bras and panties", everybody understands why this is a big thing. Everybody understands why its emotional for alot of people. Its the principle and what Adriana managed to do which is stay in a field for 20 years, where most people only last 5 or 10-15 years in. Not 20 lol. And she did it despite her getting older, despite having kids, and the ups and downs in her life. She still manage to stick around AND be just as loved as she was when she first started. Like people didn't lose interest in her for the brand. What she did with her VS career was very unique and probably won't ever be done again, and thats why everyone understand its a huge deal. Despite this "just being lingerie modelling", Lol only Adriana could make it deeper than that. Only she could make people take this seriously

@nhlovesadri yeah we are going to be emotional messes on Sunday alright, remember when this video alone had everybody emotional. It wasn't even a goodbye video or included ALL of her VS career (because this was in 2016). Imagine how we are going to be for this year

I think I am almost prepared to watch this year's show and her goodbye

A tribute video

I just want ADRIANA to know what she is doing and to be careful and to not let him take advantage of her or manipulate her in any kind of way and to not let him have any kind of power of her career or what she does with it or how she feels about it. She has had her career for many years before him, she doesn't need him for it at all. Hell, I don't think she even needs him personally because in my opinion I don't see much progress since she lost confidence and she doesn't seem that happy right now. But all these people that have been telling her how much they respect her career as a model and as a person is because of Adriana herself. She is the reason why she is seen as an icon and why people loved her as a person. It came from who she was from 1999-2017. She has to remember that and know that and therefore carry on as that and to not let him invade that part of her life in any kind of way. Because I don't care who he is supposed to be, Adriana was already this huge star and a good person before she met him for a reason. As much as people praised her these past two weeks you'd think her confidence would be restored. But I guess having to leave VS mentally is a process and I understand that completely. I just hope that sadness doesn't last long and she becomes motivated to do everything she can to carry on Happy thanksgiving guys! This post is from Adriana

The sad part is, you can't tell her that obviously. I just think its ironic that he is supposed to be such a healer and so magical when its obvious Adriana is having one of her toughest years right now. Thats why I said only Adriana can help herself, I hope she realizes it. Because I don't see how he is supposed to be who he is, and Adriana has lost her confidence since she has met him and become more insecure. I noticed that when she made that essay about people's comments on an ig post, this: This post correlates with her being more censored on social media and such. But the thing is Adriana has been dealing with social media and people comments since 2014. She has been dealing with this industry since the 90s. But she just made the choice to say that, this year. Its ironic she does that when she is dating a guy who is insecure himself when it comes to comments and social media. That is why Metin is ALWAYS checking his comments, liking the good ones and blocking people who don't make good ones. Because he is insecure himself when it comes to people's comments on there. And as always when Adriana dates someone they rub off on her terribly, and his insecure ways has rubbed off on her. And so I am sure that is the reason why her confidence has taken this hit (along with her getting older) and now all of a sudden she cares that much about what people say on social media. Because her boyfriend does. And now, she is censored. But like I said, its obvious Adriana doesn't see it that way. She is still with him and all that. Like I said, at this point, I can only PRAY and hope things continue to get better and she truly finds herself again. Even if she thinks she has found herself, I doubt it with how less confident she has been all year. Her best years as a model and imo as a person, were before him for a reason. I KNOW I don't know her personally but like I said, she does not look happy right now. And she had alot of slip ups this year in relation to fitness, and her modelling career was affected. She has had much better years and ironically they were before him. So as I said, I hope she realizes this before its too late. Don't get me wrong I still think she is a good person with a good heart, but I feel that this year wasn't one of her best because of certain choices

I think it was a cover

Yeah, she is surely more censored. Its not even just about posting nice selfies, but the fact that even her work out selfies she used to post on her feed. You could tell she did not care. She didn't care if she was a model and was expected to post only pretty selfies. She didn't care that people complained about her sweating on the selfies. Like what happened to that? Thats why I said I feel as if she isn't a free spirit anymore. Which is ironic because she is supposed to be so "enlightened" because of Metin , however it is obvious she is very censored and lost confidence. How can you be enlightened and all that but be so censored for the first time? And the thing is, it's important to have confidence, especially as you get older. She can't let that be stripped away from her NOW because things only get harder as you get older. Only when she was younger was it more fitting for her to be insecure, not now. I am not convinced everything is that great for her PERSONALLY. It could be because she has left VS and so its still difficult for her. But I think if she was scared or uncertain about her future after it, she'd actually try to put herself out there more on social media and such, as a model today that is the smart thing to do. I think she is in a weird place mentally because of the career thing. However, its obvious this entire year that she has censored herself and didn't have as much confidence as before, so its not only because of this VS stuff. I just hope she truly finds herself again. I think she is still lost a little. And leaving VS probably adds on to that because she probably feels like a piece of her identity has been taken away. I don't blame her for feeling that way because it is sad. And it hard to be doing something for like 20 years and then you have to stop it. But yeah, I hope by 2019, things look way better than they have this year. Majority of this year has been a rocky to witness. Its only just getting good after her puma deal and after she retired because 1. VS is dying anyway, its a good thing Adriana doesn't have to deal with that 2. Her major impact as a VS angel has been solidified. She got alot of respect. But it seems like she is still in a weird place mentally, no matter how much respect and love she got. She did get a cover this year, the W magazine one. And thats a recent one, she didn't have any at the start and thats because of all the bullshit she had going on in the start of the year with her struggling with fitness at the start and all that metin and the IG post drama shit. Remember she didn't even go to the MET. Its been alot of shit this year, which is ironic. I just hope things look up more and she watches out for herself more, especially if she is scared or uncertain about her career after VS. She has to start acting like it and do what she needs to do. Which is help herself and get her confidence back too. Obviously only SHE can help herself with these things. She had one cover this year, for W magazine. That was a cover.

I doubt she will. You can really tell that right now, for WHATEVER reason, Adriana doesn't want to show alot anymore... I am glad that she retired from VS this year but I feel like in general she has censored herself this year. Not even just talking about the taking off the clothes shit. I feel like the free spirit part of her is kinda gone. Like she still lacks posting on social media, and to be honest, these past couple of pics we have gotten of Adriana, she doesn't look or seem happy. At the show I understood it, because that is sad even for the fans. But at the schutz event, in those creppy pics metin took of her, I don't get genuine happiness from her. IDK whats that all about...does she regret some life choices or is she STILL sad about her last show. But with her looking the way she did at her last event (the Schultz event) and those photos snuck of her and she is super silent on social media. I doubt she'd post anything about thanksgiving. I am not getting a good vibe. The last time Adriana looked like that was when she first got divorced. She has that exact same look + she is being so mute right now I hope she is okay But as far as her getting into another lingerie brand, I doubt it. Not only because of her post but also how she felt about VS. She was closer to those people than ale was tbh, I think she loved it more

She is probably like sofia vegera, the accent and english gets worse. It happens lol

The fact that Adriana has remained humble through all of it is amazing. Because I am so sure, nobody else's departure from VS will ever be as big and meaningful as Adriana's. Like the rock actually congratulated and praised her, even those who hated on her admitted that she was gonna be missed. She made one hell of a mark, there is no denying it anymore, and tbh probably the biggest mark. But anybody will tell you she is still kind and down to earth

OH MY GOD, How awesome! Its amazing to have someone like the rock respect your career as a model

When she had a party for him she did. Like when she had a party for sienna things were on posted (on her ig stories. I don't think valentina has had her party yet

She never posts about anyone's birthday lol. But yesterday was Thursday, its a week day and Valentina is young. She won't have a party on a thursday. She will probably do something this weekend. Thats what happened with Sienna.

Lol, it does not matter whether or not she is crying. Either way, whether she is smiling or crying while smiling, her face is being contorted. It was not just because she was crying You really gonna disregard that difference? Lol. Its obvious her face looks fuller with the makeup on And if she made the same mistake as elsa, why does she not look like elsa (who seems to be struggling to smile) when she is standing right next to her Probably because she always had her face structured like the rest of her family ^ that was in 2005. If you don't believe that her facial structure was exaggerated with makeup, you don't want to. Especially since you claimed you didn't know how it worked anyway. How it works is, no matter if you have makeup on or not, the person should still look the same. As I said, I can see if we were talking about someone who never had a distinct and raised cheekbones, but we aren't. Its very possible the makeup used for this season enhanced what she already had. Her face cheeks looked bigger with makeup on than it does when its off and highlighting was done alot this year. Her face looked too slimmer without makeup as well as on today. That is not a coincidence

No she does not look the same without makeup and in the photo from yesterday, than she did during the show. Her face looks like its usual and normal structure whenever VS is not touching her face. Before the makeup After the makeup If anything was "settled" she wouldn't look like that on the runway. And Adriana always had really high cheekbones, like her mother and grandmother. They don't come out of nowhere and makeup can enhance them even more. It was the makeup like @nhlovesadri said because her cheeks look way more normal before makeup was applied. If it were settled in the makeup less pic, then she wouldn't look like that on the runway after makeup was applied. If they look like they usually do without makeup, as well as during non VS events, it was VS' makeup scheme for this year.

I have no idea. Not at all. I am just glad Adriana doesn't have to be apart of it. Some kind of change will have be made though. I am just glad that she seemingly got a very deserving good bye.
