OMG Am I less of a man now???? :shock: :shock: :shock:
I dont think she is good on the runway, everyone recognizes she is hot and all but she cant walk on the runway and she does not fit in well. Whats wrong with that???
Actually, you're not on your own! Even though I'm trying to studiously stick to Joe>Average's sterling edict that we all shouldn't be negative(!) I simply don't find Marisa Miller attractive. There. Said it.
And - to continue my blatant flouting of said rule - I agree with your view on Selita Ebanks. It's a shame that VS does not use more models of black/Asia ethnicity, because then it simply wouldn't matter about getting rid of one who is, frankly, crap - without any recourse to allegations of racism. The lack of "ethnic" models is a sad indictment of fashion shows in general - one, I know, that was dealt with on a thread that quickly descended into bear-baiting and a member getting banned - but that said, I don't think Ms. Ebanks works well as an Angel or for the VSFS in general. And I'd hate to think VS would resort to a quick-fix 'tokenism' in the wake of Tyra Banks's retirement. She was the epitome of the brand, and leaves big shoes to fill...
I'd like the VSFS to be a cornucopia of races, colours, and creeds. That surely should be it's point. GLAMAZONS! As I've said before, a sort of chocolate box full of surprises. To that end (and to quote my friend penny-dreaddfull: "From alabaster to obsidian") I'd LOVE to see Cintia Dicker - although, apparently she is no longer going to be doing any runway - and I'd like to echo the popular choice around here, Emanuela de Paula. I thought Ujjwala Raut was a great model for VS, and it would be nice to see some more ladies from the Indian sub-continent on this particular catwalk again.
I'd also like to see Magdalena Frackowiak, and Lara Stone. (And I'll have to add Lais Navarro, after supporting her thread so thoroughly!) But, after last year's debacle, I'd like to see those many new additions who were so WOEFULLY underused: principally Candice Swanepoel and Behati Prinsloo - they need a proper introduction.
Sam12, what is it with your threads that get me gabbling on?!?
I totally agree with you on everything, especially that remark about more diversity. I would love to have Ujjwala back, but I doubt they will take her again. But not all hope is lost, search for Lakshmi Menon's thread, she is the up and coming Indian girl with "curves and gorgeous skin" as Penny would say.
