The only thing I like about VS' way of giving the FB is the unpredictability of who's going to get it. It builds up anticipation! If the FB was given out solely on seniority or the most recent Angel to have a baby (this second reason being used a handful of times), it would be predictable.

Yes to this! As long as we have new performers AND runway appropriate songs (not slow ballads like Say Something from 2013's show), I'm happy. The only performers I want to see a second time at the VSFS are Rihanna, Hozier, and Ariana Grande. No Taylor Swift!!! I was happy that The Weeknd and Bruno Mars performed a second time since I like their music and they weren't interfering with the models.

Same. I love the design! the robes are usually sold in stores or online before the show tapes. So they'll probably be available for sale mid November. However the robes and all of the VSFS merch sells out fast. i bought the 2015 robe at the semi annual sale after Christmas 2015 and the sales associate was so shocked it was in the store bc the merch sells out fast.

The VS fan base outside of Bellazon is so childish with their posts about VS going "downhill" (debatable). VS has made some decisions in recent years that grind my gears but I'm not going to destroy the comment section of Ed's IG. It's just too much for all of these fan accounts to spam the social media accounts of those involved with the show (again, RIP to Ed's IG since he always gets the drama filled comments). instead of being crybabies about the show, these IG accounts need to chill the F out. I'm sure there's other fan accounts on other social media accounts like Twitter but this is really an issue with the IG accounts. these accounts should be grateful that VS is even sharing info with the public in regards to the show. Many of the shows during fashion week are very secretive until show day. I already want the VSFS to happen so this rabid fan hate ends. The stuff that makes it to the Victoria's Saltiest thread is gold but all these fan accounts acting like they're the ones who should be planning the show (and not Ed/Monica/Sophia/John) are too much.

Thanks everyone for working hard on sharing these updates! @ticktock I think they shoot the FB before the holiday commercial. In 2013, the pictures were taken towards the end of July. Last year's FB shoot took place in a different location than the holiday shoot. The FB shoot was in a house (I'm thinking of the Vogue video Jasmine did) and the commercial was done in the France estate.

I agree! In the past few years, their PR tours for the show suck. They don't take advantage of the location, especially when it's overseas. In London, they only did the Bond Street store photo op. They could have gone to places like Trafalgar Square, the scenic area along the River Thames. Last year they only did a photo shoot near the Eiffel Tower and inside the Grand Palais. The bridge at Pont Alexandre III is stunning and they could have gone to the locations where they filmed the 2013 holiday commercial. VS is all talk when they say they're doing the show abroad but all you get are a few clips in the show's opening credits about landmarks in the city. They never deliver. If they plan on doing the show abroad, they need to be there for more days. A press event, rehearsals, and the actual show taping days aren't enough. I think they left Paris the morning after the show.

@Sanni, you're right. The adult costume sellers are too small for them. Plus it's a waste of time when it's only a temporary thing. Disney could sue VS if they made a shell bra like Ariel's from The Little Mermaid (even though the Disney version is different than the Danish original) or Tinkerbell wings. Disney doesn't have the property rights to Little Red Riding Hood so it's fair game. Plus VS did a red riding hood look in 2009 with lindsay ellingson. I think the issue with a Disney theme is how similar the outfits will look. If the outfit looks too close to a disney princess' look, there's a higher probability that VS will get sued. I don't think VS would want to take that chance and use a big portion of their show budget just to make Ariel bras or corsets that look like the dress of Elsa from Frozen.

Disney markets itself as a family friendly entertainment giant (movies, theme parks, character merchandise, etc). They're all over the globe and are more recognizable than the adult/erotic themed Halloween costumes, which are only around during Halloween season. Disney would NEVER want their properties to be associated with VS due to their "sexual" marketing. Besides, VS is too cheap to pay for the rights to a Disney themed segment or even some Disney inspired elements. Disney would want a pretty big paycheck; they paid $4 billion to buy Star Wars from Lucasfilm in 2012. Sure these are two different scenarios, a Disney themed segment vs rights to an entire franchise, but it goes to show that Disney would want a huge paycheck in exchange.
