No! She deleted them before the 24 hrs were up. I went to save them the next morning and she had erased the story.

You gotta show me a photo after you cut it!

As someone who grew up in a Buddhist family, the majority of them take their symbolism very seriously and would be offended by Gigi’s action. Couple that with how feircely China works to protect their heritage, it’s unsurprising that Gigi’s complete lack of tack would make her unwelcome there. Clauds is right- in America there is CONSTANTLY outrage over things like Starbucks running Christmas and religion because they made their holiday cups different!!! But Gigi mocks a religious idol, and people should just get over themselves?
^ Plus, to the general public, literally no one is going to know or care that Russian girls or Mayowa are missing. Gigi is the only real set back for VS if they’re still looking to snag her fan base, but they’ve got Bella still so I’m sure they’ll be fine in the IG tweenieboppers demo. Last year they didn’t do a lip sync at the show, they had that one from the various shoots. Also, any word on the “Live” preshow? I know last year they filmed it ahead of time during their press week, but I haven’t seen any promo for them having one at all this year.
I don’t really think all the blame can be put on VS for things like the visas and whatnot. They were planning this show 18 months in advance, were going to China to scout and research. They gave the models almost 3 months notice to get their visa situations in check, and had no say in who did or didn’t get denied. From what I’ve heard about the Chinese government, things could have seemed like smooth sailing a few months ago, and then changed without much rhyme or reason. I don’t doubt it’s a mess, but I understand why VS choose to do the show there since it IS a huge market for them and this was a great marketing move if they manage to pull it off. I think VS looked at the risks, and decided the potential reward was worth it.
I think VS will leave it short. They’ve left it alone for the holiday commercial and the press events, and they had Karlie walk with short hair, plus a lot of the black girls have been walking with their natural hair recently so I don’t think they’re as much into having all the girls conform to one look.
