Yeah, which is why it only makes since for them to be pushing things back. It will be interesting to see how they manage having an even shorter amount of crunch time.

Fittings were supposed to be tomorrow. I'd imagine that alot of girls are stuck in cities that aren't flying into New York right now anyway, so fittings would likely have been problematic.

Gracie went to castings yesterday and is headed to LA tonight to shoot for VS

Yeah, I assumed that he meant Bregje the model and that she was the fit model, as she has the type of body their fit models often have (i.e. skinny with hips and B-C cup)

I think the card to the right of Constance is Lily Donaldson's. It hard to spot the angels but, presuming that they're all in the first two rows, I think the second one is a one of Doutzen's Vogue covers

I don't get how another model would know the intentions of a company like VS unless she worked with them extensively (i.e. was a contract girl herself) or shared the same agency/manager as Ale and even then it seems unlikely that she would be that knowledgeable of behind the scenes drama. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if Ale did in fact leave soon

Lara had an ankle injury leading up to the show, so I actually applaud her not dropping out

Barbara said "fingers crossed" when someone on twitter asked if she'll be there.

Chanel came out of hiding as is shooting with Barbara today

That's the 2002 one, and Ana did walk that year. Laetitia didn't however (I suppose she wasn't an Angel anymore by then). 2003 featured Ana Beatriz Barros and Oluchi Onweagba. Oh Ok. So Oluchi was in the 2003 and 2004 one? Also, they had both Laetitia and Danielain their 2002 Christmas commercials, but neither walked the show? I wonder what that was about. I know Daniela was still going to events into 2003

Has their ever been a non-Angel that was included in the Christmas commercial but not the show? Edit: I guess Ana Hickmann in the 2003 commercial but not the actual show

Valentino campaign and issues w/ Bianca's then boyfriend and now ex-husband.

I'm rooting for Doutzen or Miranda or even Erin, but dont have my hopes too high. Sidenote: It's pretty impressive to see that Barbara has gained such a loyal fanbase on twitter. I wouldnt be surprised if she started trending in certain areas during the show

no

I'm curious to see if either Jasmine or Jourdan (or both) is cast. They both went to castings for the last two years, although Jasmine might have opted for the Versace show instead instead. Im also rooting for Eniko to return this year and for Bette to make debut. I also wouldnt mind seeing Ginta, considering that she used to do a good amount of print work with PINK

Can't be as many as Marisa had to wait. I liked Oluchi too, but they opted to go with Selita over her (who they had looked over in the 2003 casting)

Well, with Chanel possibly gone, maybe she or Jasmine will fill the void of English speaking black girl. On that subject, since the the spots for black models to walk the show have become so competitive/coveted., I've made of list of my preferences: Would love to see: Jourdan- skinny, but her personality seems far more authentic Joan- modern-day version of Liya Emanuela- She's one of the few "curvy" models that the team actually casts with one of the best faces in the industry. I'm still kinda mad at how her agency mismanages her Lays Silva- One of the few Brazilians VS seemed to let go unnoticed, so it's probably not going to happen. Ariel Meredith- Her casting footage from previous shows She might be "too obvious" for them though Jasmine Tookes- Shes really skinny too, but better suited for lingerie than alot of other girls her size Arlenis- With the increase in work and being included in the Holiday catalogue, she pretty much is a sure thing. Gracie- She might look pretty similar to Lais and Emanuela, but I think she's well suited for the brand and better on the runway than Lais Models I'd be ok with: Lais- Well, shes a safe-bet. Lyndsey Scott- I'm not sure why they only cast her once. Chrishell- She has a very interesting look. Ajak Deng- Ataui Deng- Anais- I liked her in the 2011 show, even if she had little screen time Nyasha- She's like a mix of Naomi and Jourdan. I think shes taking time off for school though Models I'd rather not see: Chanel- Never understood for appeal for VS (other than PINK) and her runway presence is somewhat sloppy now, although, thats probably because of the directions their given. Still, there are so many other models that I'd go with over her. Selita- You had a good run, but its time to hang those angel wings up. Sessilee- I think it was the fact that they threw a wig on her in the 2008 show and that her walk was all over the place that turned me off. Please, never again: Jessica White Noemie- Very beautiful face, but a mess on the (VS) runway.
