Milo, I've noticed the negativity too but I see both sides. While she definitely isn't the way she used to be back in, say 2005, the fact that she's still working for VS stands for something. It means that she's obviously a big asset to the company, regardless of her being a spokesperson or not. I myself was shocked that they used her as for the Superbowl advertisement because I thought for sure Alessandra would be the one or Karolina. It's no secret that she's not the main face of Victoria's Secret like she used to be but she's still very much a driving force in their marketing campaign. If she wasn't, she wouldn't be part of the Valentine's Day launch or even considered for the Superbowl commercial. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not as big a fan as I used to be but this is the modeling business. Obviously 2007 wasn't her best year but I think she's looking great so far and is making a comeback. That's pesky optimism on my part but so far I'm very impressed.
Of course she has flaws just like any other person but it's almost like you want to challenge the people in here. Yes, she's gained weight and I think that hindered her to a point and that sometimes, she could be lazy but if I were a ridiculously good looking model worth millions, I think I would be lazy too. I was just happy to see her on TV, personally. I think I was more impressed with her English being a lot better than it used to be. I just don't think that you can say that she's over the top when she's proving that she still has that spark. I'm not sure what you are expecting her to do, really. Obviously you are a fan of her still like you said but I think it's over the top the way you point out her flaws. I think only good things will come her way this year and she deserves it. I don't think she's perfect but I'm still a fan who thinks she's gorgeous and still has a long way to go. Obviously she's happy with where she is at and like most of us here, I think we're just excited to see where 08 holds for her.
