I can't tell you how much I agree with just about everything you all said.

100% to me even the last recognizable Angel group to me was Candice, Behati, Rosie, Miranda, and Doutzen.  Those were girls that VS made into stars.  And I wish Rosie and Miranda had stayed a bit longer to really cement that.  I feel like Emanuela de Paula also would have been a fantastic addition with those girls, and that would have been the clear successors to usher in the new decade as the top angels as Adriana/Ale/Heidi/Tyra/Gisele had done before.  

 

I feel like the VS executives were dumbstruck that Rosie and Miranda left as soon as they did and that pushed them to hold onto Ale and Adriana a bit longer for  that superstar status.  But no idea why they never developed Doutzen as much as Candice.  I'm guessing because Doutzen never had as restricted a contract and wanted to do more things besides VS, but to me these girls were the last recognizable and meaningful angel faces.  

 

The angel brand started being watered down when they added Izabel and Selita who became angels right away without any VS work, and Marisa (who was great at catalog but had no place in the show).  Then they went and hired Erin H, Chanel, Lindsay Ellingson, and Karlie who were all fantastic in HF, but again not really the VS type.  They just didn't really live up to the title, and by the time Romee/Stella/Martha/Elsa were being added I could barely tell any of them apart.  Even if I liked Taylor and Sara, I just wasn't that invested in them as angels because there was no point to being an angel.  No 3 outfits, wings, segment openings.   

This whole post was nothing but facts but this right here is the one. I always felt that Emanuela would have made a great angel. The girl had everything, the personality/charisma, the walk, THE BODY, and she seemed to work well with the other angels/models and VS team (Russell James seemed to adore her). It's like VS swapped her out for Lais and I'm sorry but till this day I don't think Lais was the right choice out of the two. She is pretty with an amazing body and seems sweet but she tends to get overshadowed and fall in to the background a lot and even with her getting to open segments and wearing the fantasy bra she still seems to be the current least followed/popular angel out of her angel group (Taylor, Jas, Sara, Elsa, est).

The thing about VS pushing Candice is that she never really had that superstar quality to begin with. And I really think it had to do with her personality. Sure she was a great model for VS, but She just didnt have that wow factor in her personality to really take it to the next level. To be honest she comes across as quite boring and dull- at least from the stuff i've seen with her. I think the only people who ever really pulled for Candice were VS fans/fashion insiders. I don't think the general public really took to her, which is why she didn't become a household name like Tyra or Heidi. I think ultimately she was just too shy and reserved to really stand out and make a name for herself outside of VS. Im not trying to discredit her though, She had an amazing career with VS and no one can take that away from her. But VS definitely should've focused on other models more instead of putting all their eggs into one basket with Candice.

 

I also agree with you about miranda, VS definitely missed a golden opportunity to promote her more because she's much more well-known and a mainstream figure. As for Doutzen I think VS just sadly pushed her to the side while they focused on Candice. It is what it is. At least Doutzen was prepared and made sure she had a good thing going for her in HF for when she left VS. She's still getting decent HF work today even as an older model.

I always felt this way when it came to Candice. I'm not as big of a fan of hers as I was when she first started with VS but I will give credit were it is due, and say girl has/had one of THE most amazing body and she would always kill it when it came to the commercials and print work. Say what you want about her but she was one of VS best angel choices in recent years imo. Now what VS messed up with when it came to Candice was shoving her down everyone's throat as their new "It Girl" angel at that time. I get that VS has to have their lead angel(s) so to speak one that becomes the main face(s) of the brand (Gisele had her time, Adriana had hers) but it seemed like with Candice VS went into overdrive to push/promote at the expense of the other angels. Them pushing her so hard actually ended up somewhat backfiring and instead some people (such as myself) just ended tired of seeing her on everything VS. All the overexposure from VS did was just further exposed Candice's' unenthusiastic personality and prove no matter how much they pushed her that deep down she didn't really have what it took to fully step out of her comfort zone and become the HBIC  so to speak in VS like Tyra, Heidi, Gisele, and Adriana did. Funny thing is VS (Sophia) had talked down on Kate Upton but at the time she was the so called blonde bombshell of that era with bubbly/fun personalty that was able to catch the general public's attention, was very popular in commercial and gaining high fashion traction, was getting covers left and right, interviews, est.  Her career may not be anything spectacular now but Kate pretty much had become everything VS had wanted Candice to be at that time.

@Andrew Van Der Hypp same to you and yours.❤️

Maryna with the balloon was fun! It was so weird to see her in the PINK section though. I wanna know she got demoted back to PINK after walking in mainline before. It was also weird to see Lily in that PINK section, even though I thought it was cute. 

Mann I miss Maryna Linchuk she was one of my faves and I loved how she was able to do both commercial and high fashion so seamlessly and had an amazing body and walk to boot. She was one of the best in the 2010 show especially in another one of my fave segments "Tough Love".

Speaking of favorite segments from the 2010 show "Wild Things" is still a good and underrated segment imo. It's one of the segments I go back and re watch. Some of the outfits were questionable but I loved the music, models, and all the other dramatics and who could forget Emanuela De Paula giving us a moment and nothing but bawdy in that segment.🔥

I must be the only one who liked 2010-2012. I thought the earlier shows were more mature and had better music, but I thought the models sucked and the outfits were boring and fo the most part, ugly. 

Nope your not, those shows were by no means perfect but they still had some pretty good models, segments, outfits, moments, and even sometimes music choices. I even liked liked some segments from 2009 show "All Aboard" and "Enchanted Forest" being my faves. After 2013 is when the show really started falling off in my opinion everything from 2014-2016 is one big blur to me that's how bad/unmemorable they were to me. The only reason the 2017 show stands out for me because of that whole China Visa mess and 2018 because it was Adriana's final show and now will be their last televised show.

Interesting observation.  I saw that as the war against DEATH being the real war, and the power-politics being the distraction.  So the Night King was in fact the real enemy and somehow the army of the dead will make it to King's Landing and the humans would have to set aside their differences and find different ways to cope with each other.   Maybe they would get annihilated by death or they will eek out a close victory and stop the Night King either temporarily or for good.

 

I always thought that GOT should end with some sort of resolution that transcends and ends the game.- otherwise if anyone wins the throne then it would just be a repetitive cycle of greed, war, and misery for the people while DEATH comes after them when time's up.  

 

This reminds me of real life, as in post-WW2 saw the complete end of European/Japanese Imperialism/militarism and post-USSR there was a further decline in armament.  Death was known in the form of world-destroying nuclear weapons and the 9-figure body count of two world wars..

 I really like your take/theory on that scene. That actually sounds way better than how things are actually turning out tbh. And I agree I don't think anyone should sit on the throne because in the end, it'll just be the same mess rinse and repeat.

Seeing this I always thought the throne room being covered in snow meant that winter would finally come to King's Landing especially with everything being destroyed with holes in the ceiling (probably from the Night King riding Viserion) and it was sort of a foreshadowing/secret message to Dany that there were more important and greater things out there to worry about than the Iron Throne and that at the end she will realize she has a greater purpose than becoming Queen of the seven kingdoms but helping to stop the white walkers with army of the dead (hence her getting close to the throne but not touching it instead walking away to save her dragons) because if they don't stop the dead there won't be anything to even rule over. Idk that's how I took this vision/scene as but I guess that probably would have been too predictable, fanfic, or whatever and in a way some of those those things kinda of are/did happening just in a different way i guess.

I honestly hope the spoilers are not true, sounds like a lame as fuck ending.

 

Also and this is not a spoiler, but this season has been too focused on Jon and I'm not feeling it, what a boring character he is.

 Judging by this latest episode the spoilers are true.😐

And I agree about Jon. The only time I was interested in his character was when it was some kind of action or the Night King involved other than that I find the character very bland at least on the show.

If those spoiler come to be true mannnnn......😲

I'm really interested and bit excited to see how they do the holiday commercial and how it turns out this year especially with the addition of the new angels. Hopefully they actually do a full fledged legit holiday commercial and not whatever that was last year's commercial....

On the Erin H Topic: 

Financial problems aside, I always got a sort of sad/insecure vibe about her. Even in her early VS days as an angel she always seemed to be fighting some personal demons behind closed doors. I remember her doing an interview at some VS launch with the other angels and when she was being interviewed she was practically holding back tears while discussing how she wanted to be a good role model and to uplift other young girls and for them to not let the industry get to them and to above all love yourself. The modeling industry can be toxic and you have to have a really strong mindset, confidence, support system, est for the industry to not get to you. I think like a lot of women/girls Erin was probably dealing with insecurities maybe even depression and fell victim to the modeling industry. And her working with VS probably didn't make things better. All things said and done I hope she finds peace mentally, physically, and emotionally and gets her financial problems in order and finds a good/different career for herself.

New Angels: I love Leomie her energy and confidence has always been A1, I always wanted Barbara to become an angel but I low key feel like her opportunity to really be VS's "It Girl Angel" like Adriana and Candice has passed, I never really been on the Grace hype train but she seems promising, and Alexinia I'm 50/50 with right now. 

That's a beautiful painting.❤️ As much as I love dragons in this show I wish the direwolves had just as much focus/importance.

Gisele: 5

Alessandra: 4.5

^^I think Lais is quite the beauty, but her personality is nothing that stands out to me much. 

 

I think Maria Borges would be a great addition. She was a huge stand out to me at the show this year, shes a great model, and has ALOT of presence both on and off the runway IMO

Agree, I hope she continues to do the show and I'm interested to see how she would do in print work with the VS. I also hope they contine to work with Cindy. She has the face and the body that fit perfectly with the brand and she was another standout for me in the show this year.

And I always thought Joan would be a great angel ever as well.

Doutzen: 4.5

Behati: 3

I thought the show was a  bit underwhelming. I loved a lot of the outfits this year and the cast and segment themes were nice, but the music just drugged the energy and show down and the editing did no favors either. Taylor wasn't that bad, but they focused on her and little friendship with Karlie and Lily way too much. I liked that Ed and Hozier stood to the side and were out of the models way and allowed them to shine, but they and ther msucic just didn't fit. Ariana was suprsingly the best perfomrer this year. She had good energy and interaction with the models and her and pefomers stayed out of the way for the most part.

Maria, Adriana, Cindy, Sara, Ale, Joan, and suprisingly Lindsay were the standouts for me. They gave the best energy without overdoing it and interected with the performers well.

Idk if it was the editing and/or if she was just nervous but Elsa didn't really live up to the hype this year, but she looked amazing and homegirl arguably had the best body in the show imo. Stella was only showed like 2 second at the end of the runway on bother her walks and Karlie who I usually like was just DOING THE MOST this year on the runway.

All and all the show wasn't terrible, but it could have been way better. It seemed like all the girls were bored/drained and the music didn't help. Angel Ball was my favorite segment, but even that was a little messy editing wise and like somebody else said they could have panned to all the girls standing at the end and made the opening a little more better. PINK was also a nice. The outfits weren't that tragic this year and just about all the girls did good. It would be nice to see Ming, Yumi, or even taylor become the new PINK girl.

I'm not scared of the dark when I'm in my house or whatever, but outside like in the woods or something hell yeah. XD

Are you excited for any movies coming out next year?

Nope not yet.

Are you easy to get along with?

Guilty

Seen someone you knew and pretended like didn't see them? 

Yep, I use to be something else when I was little.

Have you ever dyed your hair a crazy color?

Monika: 4.5

Lindsay: 2

Wow.. seems like PINK really likes Ming Xi in PINK. She's got so much camera time on VS' sneak peek for PINK on every video.

I wouldn't mind seeing Ming become the new PINK girl tbh or even Yumi. She was one of the best in the PINK section last year imo and she fits the brand well and has that sort of cute, but sexy thing going on like Elsa.

The lip syn video was alright. I liked it better than last year's one. Behati was the best in it like always, Lily, Karlie and Adriana did well, Ale look like she was trying her best not to look miserable, Doutzen just look plain uncomfortable, and Candice was trying hard to be sexy like always and it look like it took all that she had to finally loosen up a little. 

Adriana: 5

Taylor: 2

Thanks for adds everyone. Cindy looks amazing in the show.

She looked great in the show and I liked her outfits even her PINK look.

Anais: 5

Shanina: 3
