^I agree, she looks absolutely stunning, and she would look even more so in white.

I think she is good enough, more so than a few others at least, as far as runway talent goes, but she is definitely pretty enough, and her body is without a doubt good enough, considering it is pretty much perfection.

Does anyone know if they are going to let Karlie do the show with her short hair? The extensions looked amazing last year, but I think the world is ready to see her in the show with her short hair. She has had a year to show everyone that she looks incredibly stunning with it. Not to mention I think it would be very original and daring for VS to allow it.

Her body is incredible, and she looks amazing in that video. Train like an angel is appropriate, but when Candice does it, I think train like a goddess is more accurate.

Doutzen is going to space! That's crazy, and not something I was aware of. What is the occasion, or how is she getting to do that?

Yes thank you, I knew she had a son, but I didn't know she was trying to get him and her mom to the US.

Oh, I've been wondering that too! She's been oddly quiet lately, and they're showing so many fitting videos and dropping hints. I honestly hope she gets a good outfit, but a huge part of me thinks she's going to get a bad outfit or only one outfit. I'm hoping she gets three like in 2011 and some wings.

Miranda's contract ended with VS around April/May. Doutzen's should end right after the show beginning of next year. So if VS and Doutzen don't renew she will finish her contract after the show.I think Adri and Ale should leave before Doutzen. They have both been working with VS since about 2000. I love them both, but maybe it is time for them to end there contracts. And Doutzen is only 28 while Adriana and Ale are 31. So maybe Doutzen can have 3 more good years

Me too. It seems all she is doing nowadays is campaigns. Don't get me wrong she is doing fantastic and I love the campaigns, I would just like to see more editorials.

^I would love for Lais to be in Vogue and other fashion magazines as well. That would be amazing to get to see her in some editorials.

I thought the theme was royal, which could mean any form of royalty, from princess to queen, and obviously VS is going towards queen, but I think a tiara would have been just as fitting with the theme. I personally don't mind the crown, it's not the best, but it's also not bad in my opinion.

I actually really like her costume, if I had just heard the idea for it, then I am not sure how I would have felt, but after seeing it I think it looks great. Of course it does have something to do with it being on Karlie, because she looks incredible in it, and her body is just amazing.

People like that truly make me angry, I can't understand them doing that to any celebrity, but that is especially baffling when it comes to Karlie. By all appearances Karlie is a good person, and she is without a doubt a phenomenally skilled model. What could possibly encourage such vehemence?

Thanks for the info.

^That's the way I see it as well.

I haven't been following Xenia's work for long, so I don't know if she has tried out for the VSFS before or not, but does anyone know if she went to castings this year?

I don't think I would call that her "slutty" side, her sexy side yes, but she isn't slutty and frankly that's kind of offensive, even though I don't think you meant it that way.

Has she confirmed that she will or won't be in the show yet?

Excellent news.

I agree that they do use her a lot, and they do seem to like her, and that is why I believe she would have made it if she had worked harder to tone things up. Not to mention photos are very different than runway. Just because they use her a lot, that does not mean that they like her body, or all of it anyway. Most of her photos are either cropped above her belly button, or they have something covering her stomach, but they hardly ever show her tummy. What they do show is her face and boobs, but hardly any clear shots of her abdominal region. So I would not say that they think highly of her whole body, because they have indicated an issue with her stomach in my opinion. However, they can avoid that issue in photos, but that's not something so easily done on the runway. I am also not sure about this idea that every girl they pick for photos is someone they think would be good for the runway. I think the biggest thing is the fact that she didn't work out as much as she should have, because they even mentioned in the casting video that they have seen more of a working out trend this year, opposed to previous years. It seems that everyone knew to step it up this year, even the new girls, but apparently not Barbara. So again, it's not surprising or odd to me that she didn't make it.

Is there any word if Magda made it? I haven't seen anything saying she did or didn't get cast.

Why would it be awkward press if she did the VSFS again?

Barbara is beautiful, I don't know if she is just as beautiful as Sara, but that's my opinion. I agree though, that it would have been nice and good for Barbara to represent her body type in the show, but I am not surprised she didn't make it. If she had worked half as hard as Sara and toned up a bit, then she probably would have made it.

I also can't see needing room for the new girls as a reason for Shanina not making it. I guess it's always possible that she didn't do well at castings? I am not really familiar with her walk, so I can't speculate if that is the reason, but would you guys say she has a good strong walk? The reason why I ask is because I thought she looked stunning last year, so I am pretty surprised she didn't make it this year.

In that case, black is my favorite color.
