saudade

The point is that VS makes a decision to choose those skinny body types, it's not like there aren't are plenty of models with a healthier normalized body in the industry. Dionni, Michea, Kate, Robyn Lawley, Jessica Gomes, Valerie Van Der Graaf to name a few. These are same people who openly professed Karlie as perfection even before she was made an angel... now that's fine and dandy, but if you show that bias towards a body type and that's all you show your customers for a long enough period of time, people will take notice, and people will go tried of it. That's human nature. Perhaps the companies weak and declining sales over the last 3+ years are starting to reflect an overall change in how the public not only perceives the products they sell, but the models (coat hangers) they use to sell them on the runway and in the catalog. People got excited both times Kate made the catalog, she brought a community together to converse about her and the company. Perhaps VS should start to give their customers what they want and not what VS wants, and realize that healthier body types are not bad, and they can sell. VS likes skinny models. When they featured Anja loud and proud in their fashion shows, or put the likes of Sasha P in their catalog , that's not sending a healthy image to the general public now is it? Yes to all of this. And to make things worse, they're constantly claiming in those casting videos that they only look for "healthy", "curvy" models and that they don't cast unhealthy or "skinny" girls. Yet, Monica made it pretty clear on her true preferences in that New York Times article a few years back. When "curvier models" do go to castings- and there are a good amount that do- they rarely actually make it into the show.

I didn't even think about Pireli, which would also be a nice surprise.

She posted on her Twitter and Facebook page that she is shooting something "very secret" today and posted a picture of one of those "No Twitter, Facebook, Instagram" signs. Would it be too early for VS to be shooting for the Fantasy Bra? Its probably just wishful thinking on my part, but I'll be curious to see what this turns out to be.

With VS' proclivity for biracial Brazilian girls, I'm surprised that Lays Silva has never worked for the company. She's like Lais with bigger boobs. , ,

Her body has been looking amazing lately. She looks much healthier than she did a few months back.

KK shot for Self Service Magazine yesterday

She can date someone of better quality. quality? The guy is one of the greatest in his profession...how many folks around here can talk about being amongst the very best at what they do?If anything, her association with him will boost her profile even more and in the long run should aid her career. A career that for 99% of models, doesnt last very long.

Considering the cut of that dress and the popularity of the brand at Cannes, I'm guessing she wore Cavalli. In whatever case, she looks amazing in it
