  1. appleauto, I agree with you in some ways. She is definitely not doing as much big name work as last year, and to me it is obvious why for several reasons. But she still does very well for herself. I think models have their ups and downs and right now is not her peak.

     

    That said, I think the VS casting will be very pivotal for her. I do not think she's a shoo-in for the show even given the fact that she's on the cover of the holiday catalogue. 

  2. Don't quote on this because I can't tell you for sure, I'm just assuming stuff. I know as fact that 2013 is the last year on Doutzen's VS contract, so this year could very well be her farewell and it would also explain why she hasn't shot for anything that comes out after the show. I think that in Doutzen's case not renewing is probably a mutual agreement: Doutzen doesn't like to be stuck with one brand and VS is obviously not too thrilled with her work so it only makes sense that they would be parting ways.

     

    Of course I could be wrong and Doutzen could be renegotiating her VS contract right now and keep working for them for another three years.

    MissLima, I think you're right. Sad that VS hasn't yet (never?) highlighted her the way they should have. She's such a superstar. But she has clearly has greater things ahead of her.

  3. I have a feeling JT will be there. Also either Gaga or Katy Perry. Not sure about Maroon 5 because they don't have any new music out yet. I also think it would be a mess to have them on the show when they made such a big deal just two years ago about Anne V and Adam Levine.

     

    I feel like there might be a British performer for the British Invasion section (that would make sense to me, at least...) but I'm not sure who it would be. Someone asked VS on Twitter about the announcement and they said they would announce performers "very very very very VERY soon," so I'm thinking maybe in the next 48 hours. I would imagine fantasy bra by Monday.

     

    Everything seems to be moving so slowly with no hints...seems like they've finally gotten their PR people on top of it as far as leaks are concerned. Does anyone know when castings usually begin? Last week of October?

    Lol!^The thing is Barbara is starting to be a life less model again. When she started to work for VS she has improved a lot! She was a better model with better poses and more versatility. Now she is back to "I am beautiful and I am here but that's all you are gonna get from me" Her look is so dead on every single pictures. No emotion, nothing, nada! Sometime I feel like she can't model to save her life because she doesn't care.

     

    9.000 posts > get a life!

    Hmm... I think that seems to be the case too. The beauty + body gets you through the door but the talent makes you stay. That does not only apply to modeling but acting too.

    No. I am labeling a group of girls who I personally think are bland; they happen to be blonde, but I can think of plenty of bland models that are not blonde or even not white. Lais, for example, I do not find thrilling. As far as being 'discriminatory,' that's frankly insulting to the girls who get labeled as 'token black' every day. We can talk about discrimination when we start having 'token blonde girls' at VS, maybe.

    Oh, it's because I've seen a lot of comments on the web like : "another bland blonde blablabla". It's like this adjective only goes for the blondes. I've never read comments who say "another bland brunette" (or another bland black). That's why i'm starting to think that people really don't like blonde girls.  :cain: But I guess it's because there's a lot of blondes in the fashion industry.

     

  6. I guess it doesn't really say much other than that Barbara hasn't been tossed aside yet...which is good for her career I guess. Personally, I think it would have said more if she had been in the commercial.

     

    I'm really curious about these rotating blondes they have...Martha Hunt, Camille Rowe, Elyse Taylor, etc. I wonder if one of them will replace Erin and/or Doutzen soon (I personally think this might be Doutzen's last show). I'm not sure that any of them stand out though.

  7. ^ I agree. I have a sneaking suspicion that they are phasing her out. I would not be surprised if she only gets one outfit this year  :idk: VS seems so back-and-forth.

    I wonder if this is all the girls for the commercial! Doutzen and Erin seem to be out... but I wonder if Lindsay will make it to Paris. I am sure we will see her, especially because it looks like Ed is directing.
