This is a random comment but does anyone agree that she looks a lot better when she's not smiling with her teeth?

It didn't occur to me until it was pointed out that she resembles Natalia. I mean yeah they look sort of alike, especially from the side and certain angles, but I think Barbara gives a very different impression from Natalia, especially when she's not smiling. They look similar when they smile, but on the VS runway and in the holiday commercials where Barbara isn't smiling, she doesn't look like Natalia much at all. I see a bit of Stephanie Seymour in Barbara, actually. That was my first impression of who Barbara looked like.

Sick As My Secrets - totally agree that all the blondes now look so similar! VS used to do the opposite in the mid-2000s - seemed like virtually every girl was a unique-looking brunette (Adriana, Alessandra, Izabel, Isabeli, Ana-Beatriz, Tyra...even Doutzen and Rosie were a darker blonde/light brown back then). Now it seems like they just want super-skinny blondes who really aren't that pretty or unique-looking. I can't really tell them apart from each other. Heidi, Karolina, Candice, Rosie, and Doutzen (and other blondes in the old shows whose names I don't know) are examples of what I would call pretty blondes...the new ones now are just nothing exceptional at all.

Wow, Jessica Alba is always so adorable! Looking even better with age

Wish she hadn't ruined her face with plastic surgery. Looked so much prettier without the puffy lips and whatever else she did to herself.

I know they're really obvious picks, but I'd love to see Kate Upton and Bar Rafaeli. I loved when the VS shows featured a collection of the top models of the moment (and legendary models) rather than producing "Angels" who are only known for Victoria's Secret. For example, I loved when they'd get Heidi, Tyra, Naomi, Gisele, Karolina, and even Marisa Miller (even though I really don't like Marisa Miller's look or walk) together for the shows. I think it should be about finding the most beautiful and famous models, not about branding the "Angels." They still do bring in some new top models (Karlie and Hilary Rhoda, for example), but not the way they used to. Then again, we don't have as big of supermodels as Naomi Campbell these days.

2005 and 2006! "Come Fly with Me" (feat. "When You Were Young" by the Killers) is my all-time favorite segment Other favorites: "I Want Candy" (Pink), the segment with the Audio Bullies remix to the Nancy Sinatra song ("My Baby Shot Me Down" or something), the Christmas-y opening to 2005, Seal singing "Crazy," and Seal singing "Amazing." Those segments are all from '05 and '06, I believe.

My first time posting on Bellazon, but I've been a VS Fashion Show fan for years. The best were '05 and '06, in my opinion, and Gisele is my all-time favorite VS model. This year's show was alright but I think VS is just getting way too costume-y, and the whole thing is so over-hyped. Justin Bieber was the wrong performer for the show, and I'll just leave it at that. As for the MODELS...Doutzen and Miranda were probably my favorites. I liked a few of the new girls too (sorry, don't know their names yet, except Barbara Palvin, who is stunning). Adriana and Alessandra I've always found to be just OK. They complemented Gisele, Karolina, Tyra, Heidi, etc. well back in the older shows (along with Izabel, Ana Beatriz, and Isabeli Fontana), but I don't think they're good enough to be the top, most recognizable Angels now. They were no prettier than the other Brazilian girls I just listed who also complemented the headliners, imo. I actually do really like Candice...wish Rosie had been there this year...but who are all these other bland blondes? There are about 4 girls (some of whom are now angels) who are just so blah and similar-looking to me. They're cute but not pretty enough to be featured as much as they are. The two Angels whose appeal I absolutely do not get are Lily Aldridge and Behati Prinsloo. I don't understand why they're even in the VS show, let alone Angels. Oh, and there were some very awkward looking and too-thin girls doing Pink this year...great girls for high fashion, I'm sure, but I don't understand why VS booked them. I miss Miranda doing Pink, although I suppose she's too old for that now. Love: Candice, Doutzen, Karlie, Miranda, Barbara Palvin Strongly Dislike: Behati, Lily, the awkward looking girls doing Pink
