we had plenty of that with Heidi and Tyra.... In 2008, Kurkova was HUGE!. But then they went back to skin and bones (although I LOVE Goulart's body)

O.o Haven't you ever heard of the tattooed Circus ladies of the 1870-1930's? Yes the tattoos with Liu's outfit were poorly done, but her outfit captures the theme of Circus and thus it's win (plus tattoo's on woman are yummy)

Going back to the raw footage I noticed, the only reason they had to use the crappy Palvin finger heart is because in the earlier show, you could clearly see K. Kloss next to her in the native american costume. The crappy footage had nobody behind her. Plain and simple.

I know...So many models were AMAZING and FABULOUS during the first show and were probably tired and whatever the reason during the second one...Choose the BEST footage from the two, splice it and show it...This is why you have editors, a director who was massively hyped during the VS Preshow as someone who has worked with U2 , Madonna, The Super Bowl and The London Olympics 2012 and what not...The show was so lacklustre and to add salt to the wound showing Justin Bieber singing alone with that guitarist ....How is that in anyway connected to VS...When I saw the pics first I thought he was merely entertaining the audience from getting bored or restless while they were changing the sets background LOL.....Not an ENTIRE musical set....Totally totally out of place and boring !!!!At least I hope VS got their much desired dream ratings thanks to all the Bieber Hype ...unless it was way past all those teeny Beliebers bedtime LOL ....

To JenkinssNa: Thank you for the explanation about the outfit, though I've seen it being used in one too many beauty pageants and Lana del Rey also got some heat for wearing a war bonnet in her 'ride' video. Still cannot forget how pissed the Native American community was with that Outkast performance... Having said that, imagine if the show had been live? Wow.

I must say I was VERY pleased. This show equals 2007 in post-production and themes. Having said that: Favorite segment: Circus and Silver Screen Goddesses (I never thought the latter would look so effing nice on TV! ) Least favorite segment: Bloom (music was completely off and the models were like stoned) Best -as usual- familiar model: Izabel Goulart All-around Goddess: Alessandra (of course) Best up and coming: Magda Frackowiak Waste of runway space: Dorothea (what was she doing there) Funny moment: Erin having to leave without her hat on... I thought she was going to cry, she was just like a little girl LOL Not the best year for them: Behati (looks old and worn out), Adriana (I love her but her time is over) Good year for them: Doutzen (wow she looks hot), Miranda (she shone more last year but still good), Lindsay (for somebody who started as 'the ugly one' she has improved a lot) Too bad they edited out Karlie's native american costume. I mean WTH!!!! It ruined the whole Calendar theme by not having November. Bieber was not a good addition to the show. this has got to be the worst PINK segment I've seen (the best being 2007). Then again all for the little girlies to run out and buy bras.... "Kinda" missed Maryna Linchuk but the show was so good. Anne V was not missed. Although the Xmas themed runways were overdone in the early 2000s I think it was a staple element of the VS shows that they have been losing. I think next year they should bring in Kasia Struss (younger Behati) and Bette Franke as models. Overall, 8.5/10 (being 2003 a 10/10 and 2008 a 6/10)

After watching the video and the horrendous live performances by Rihanna and specially Bieber I hope that in post-production they try to fix it by adding the original tracks.... the audio is too bad to use it on a CBS telecast.

Behati should be thanking Lais because she would have gotten two outfits as well -Cameron Russell's 5M swarovski ensemble got much more attention than the quasi-million dollar bra... and I am still wondering why it was given to Cameron and not one of the angels. -I've also noticed a trend in the past 3-4 years, if they give you just ONE outfit is because a)they dont really like you that much or b)you are on your way out, which is what happened to Flavia, Julia, Caroline, etc. -The lack of familiar faces this year is astonishing. Tons of girls known to the fashion world but not to the average VS consumer. -I did like the show based on the photos and I hope the edited end-product is up to par. VS has had its array of mistakes (the 2008 from side to side was horrendous, the music lame, the outfits blah, I believe its the worst to date) in 2010 they kinda recovered from it. -I liked when they travelled around, Miami, Los Angeles (Kodak) etc, now they are just stuck in NY they could get a little creative with the venue. -I hope Goulart stays for a while. I know she ain't an angel due to her endless commitments to other brands. However look at Lindsay, they only give her like one outfit and have other non-angel models featured prominently... -Still baffled that Maryna Linchuk is gone, hope to see her back next year. First they axed Gisele, then my goddess Poly, then Carmen, then Flavia, now Maryna, who is the queen of the catwalk now?

I hope they walk every year until they're 80 just so the haters will always be mad that they're still around. If that is the case, I want Naomi back... she is 42 and looks better than some of these 19-year old q-tips. LOL

hopefully is true. I would be so happy if this is true From my understanding, this was Adriana's last runway but then they didn't say anything else about it, that would leave Alessandra as the head of the VS squad and next in line to leave.

In the 2002 show, Ana Beatriz Barros had visible razor bumps. I believe the picture should still be online somewhere...

I was under the impression Lais was already an angel as she was in the Prague commercial wearing wings and in some store openings... I was about to ask why the guy posting the list wouldnt include her as an angel but I am not sure now if she is...

The show was good, I am not crazy about the live performances, though, I liked the show when it was probably 1 live performance but 4-5 of them.... specially when they used to make those amazing remixes (I still dream of them mixing up Girls Beautiful by Bullmeister with Phoenix' 1901 but oh well....). I understand things have to evolve, but... I miss those days where they had a XMAS themed runway, they havent had that since 2007 and it was always good.. and the whole idea of having angels already went to heck, since they no longer have those beautiful mythological angel wings. Now its Lego wings, Marble wings, Potato-chip wings.... There are some VERY creative outfits, for example, like in the Circus section and the Silver Screen dresses were amazing too. I do believe they are DONE with the floral theme.. they've done it one too times many. Pink needs a bit of creativity as they are presenting the same dogs, hoodies and striped socks again. No variety there.... Meanwhile, looking forward to the telecast, have to see these ladies walk. And yes, I believe Karlie is not sexy at all.. too tall and skinny but girlfriend can walk.. I guess they want to present all types of bodies.. After all, men dont run out to buy bras.....

but it's also weird to imply that they would have a special make up artist working JUST with her and he tweets JUST her? obviously something is off! and judging from maryna's habits and how excited she always is to walk... I don't think she will ah the maryna mystery. I care because she has the best walk, it's not like Poly is walking

She tweeted a photo of herself in hair and makeup testing for the show @marynalinchuk1

OK.. so Maryna, Liu Wen and Edita are back. Good. I do know the list is not usually the final one, VS producers have their staples and these are models with tons of work so probably have to clear up schedule before confirming they will participate. I agree there were no PR events this year but after Sandy I am sure the show could not find another venue in time or they would have to cancel/reschedule affecting the broadcast date. I guess Tyra was the only one with a farewell. Gisele didn't get one (bad terms apparently), Heidi did not get one... I believe the show on TV should have a segment about former angels... It is sad for me to see Julia Stegner go.. really. I've been watching the show non-stop since 2001. Is Rihanna singing in the Silver Screen-themed runway?
