Oh, wow! BABS! Mood/Theme - 4.5 Music - 4.5 Visual Elements - 4.5 Effectiveness - 4.5 Likability - 4.5

I liked that British Vogue interview with her and Bobbi Brown - thanks, Sanni. What I think happened is when she was "thin," she was still in the process of filling out as a woman. I mean, she herself says she didn't start growing tall or developing breasts until 14 1/2 to 15 years old. I think, until the past couple years, she was still kind of in that adolescent, fast-metabolism stage. Now that she's fully developed, however, she has a harder time keeping her face and body thin. The main reason she no longer is very pretty to me is her face has too much fat on it. Her bone structure looks best with less fat than is currently on her face. Obviously her body has also filled out, but to me, the main problem is her face these days.

You should. He's written books, and you can also easily read his quotes and watch his interviews online. Having just wrapped up school, I very much appreciate his thoughts on the sociopolitical ideas of "academics" and "intellectuals" (i.e., professors and students who live in a make-believe world of theory ).

I've always said this. I don't think they look much like Kris either, though. They have Kris' coloring, but Kylie and Kendall's faces really don't resemble either of their parents'. Recently, though, I saw some young photos of Bruce, and there was something about him that was similar to Kylie. The mouth and chin looked a bit like hers. Also, Kendall surely inherited her slim, athletic build from Bruce. Still, facially, I see virtually no similarity. Edit: Not sure if I should be saying Caitlyn instead of Bruce...but I am referring to images of Bruce, not Caitlyn, so I'm just going to leave this post as is.

Been binging on Thomas Sowell quotes today.

Happy Memorial Day to all the Americans!

...mad about The Bachelorette. Team Britt!

Same here. Did anyone like Chanel?

Thanks, guys. To be honest, these days, I have more respect for models who aren't doing VS. VS picks a lot of not-so-pretty models these days, and it seems as though part of the reason is those girls aren't getting work from other places, so they're the ones who are willing to sign the demanding VS contract.

So, #1 that Vogue Australia shoot is gorgeous. Also, though, I was thinking - is she really doing that badly career-wise? Sure, she hasn't been doing VS, which is the main way models get famous these days, but I definitely see her in commercials and ads in the US. Her commercials for L'Oreal are on TV quite a bit, and I can't go to the drugstore without seeing her face due to L'Oreal ads (I think L'Oreal is the only brand I see her for, but I may be wrong). She's getting high profile photo shoots like the one for Vogue Australia, and she's an ambassador for a major cosmetics brand in the US - I think she's doing pretty well commercially. I mean, when was she ever getting more high profile jobs than she is now? I think we're all just upset because we thought she'd be the next big thing - the next Candice or Adriana, if you will - but instead VS cut her and she's just kind of stayed where she was. Furthermore, many models hate doing fashion week, and once they're successful, they voluntarily stop doing as many shows. Barbara may have done that herself.

^ lol. Excited because my mom comes to visit tmrw

Mood/Theme Music Visual Elements Effectiveness Likability = 3.75 for all. Beautiful models in that era of VS.

Haha, that was cool. Mood/Theme Music Visual Elements Effectiveness Likability = all 4s.

She's been growing on me somewhat, but when I look at the photos in that jean shoot, I still don't see a model's face

Didn't know her personality was lackluster. I would have assumed she had a great personality.

...and rediscovering old movies. "She's the Man" is on. Too bad Amanda Bynes is so troubled now.

That makes me mad at Candice. Babs was far and away the best newcomer in the VSFS 2012. Aside from the gorgeous face, she also had such a sexy, mysterious vibe on the runway. And in the few print ads/commercials she did with VS, she looked amazing. I tend to dislike most of the girls VS gets these days - Barbara was one (if not the only) exception to that.

Do you guys actually like her body? Or is it just the sex appeal and facial bone structure that you like? Honest question.

Anyone have an opinion on her daughter, Kaia? Do you think she could model/be successful? It seems like everyone raves about how stunning Kaia is, but honestly I think she's a pretty average looking young girl with long legs.

Is the consensus that VS didn't like Babs' personality or perhaps her body or...? VS must know what a fan favorite Babs was during her short tenure there. What happened? (I apologize for what is probably a basic question - I don't frequent this thread. )

In the most recent video posted, she said she is known for her boobs and her butt...that's interesting to me because she has rather subtle curves, IMO. I really like her body, but it's interesting that she would say that because she isn't exceptionally curvy. She's nice and proportional, though

I don't know - Heidi was very thin when she was young. So was Gisele. I've heard that some women do lose breast fat after having babies.

I agree. I haven't noticed a size change in Adriana, Ale, or Doutzen - if anything, Ale is bigger. Doutzen has never been very busty. Adriana.....I'm never sure how big her boobs really are. They look big sometimes and small other times. Gisele's definitely are smaller now, as are Heidi's, unfortunately.
