I fail to see the hype over Stella. While there's no denying she's a beautiful girl, Stella gives me major indie Urban Outfitters vibes. Maybe that's it, I guess; VS is trying to bring in the hipster crowd.

Yeah, I saw the ad, it's incredible. I imagined the ad was posted before but when I found this UHQ, I thought it was too good not to share.

How could I forget Blanca? Thanks Elfstone.

That's my main peeve with VS right now: too many blondes (fine now they're less with Doutzen, Lindsay and Karlie now gone). Elsa and Candice are blonde bombshells there's no denying that, but then they add Stella, Martha and Rachel who aren't that stunning or interesting personality-wise. Their personalities are a major factor. I understand why people are more drawn to SI girls: they don't really have to promote a product besides the mag, therefore their personalities tend to shine a bit more than the VS Angels who sound like robots. Who I would add to VS: Alexandria Morgan (perfect American girl-next door who loves sports and goofy stuff), Irina Sharipova (sexy Russian with an artistic side, also very ethnically ambiguous), Jourdan Dunn (British It girl with great personality and strong media presence) Rose Bertram (great body and face, awesome energy) as the main PINK girl. Blanca Padilla (European elegance, also Hispanic and very popular with Spanish-speaking audiences).

That's what I'm thinking as well Clauds. SI and VS used to share Heidi and Tyra and both companies were going through a golden age, When did VS start having this HF obsession? Was it when they hired HF casting directors like Sophia?

I like Cindy but she doesn't have the personality/aura for it. Honestly, the market of models with angel potential is so low right now. No one truly truly stands out as a potential angel. Elsa was a great addition, and I think the line-up is fine with just Adriana, Alessandra, Candice, Elsa, Behati, and Lily. Let each girl get her share of work and fame, rather than dilute everything with another 6 girls with no longevity. I think part of the problem is that VS is so focused on getting HF girls and unfortunately, the main trend in HF right now is bland,bland,bland; a lot of HF models have such similar facial features that it's hard to tell them apart. We're no longer in the late nineties confident glamazon trend that launched Adriana and Gisele, and gone is the mid-2000s seductive babydoll phase that gave us Gemma and Miranda.
