I think there's a fine line. On one hand, all of our jobs/occupations have a negative side. The one negative If you want a life of wealth/luxury that comes with being a celebrity/model and on TV/in movies/in magazines/on billboards then the trade off for that amazing life and all the money is more recognition. With that said, you're entitled to privacy of course and to be left alone. And i never blame any famous person for not signing autographs or taking photos with a group of 10 or 20 or 50 fans swarming them. But I do think a 1-off thing/1-on-1 is different. Give a fan a few minutes, make their day, if they still haven't left you alone kindly tell them you need to go or are trying to spend time with friends/family. And to me there are rules. I would never ever bother someone while they're eating or with their children, for instance. And again just to reiterate, I am not speaking negatively of Olivia. She was fine and cordial to me and engaged in some convo for 2-3 minutes just was a bit shy/standoffish is all. (Sorry I just don't want anyone thinking I am roasting her or saying she is rude or something.

not agreeing or disagreeing with you or the comment you quoted I think it's only natural for people who loved a certain group (be it that generation of models or in sports a team that won championships) to then not care for the next batch of people behind them as the group they love fades out I don't care much for the new crop, either but I also am not as into VS models as I once was. It's not that the new/younger women aren't beautiful, it's just that I'm at a different stage in life and care about it differently.

I get all of this. I live in LA and in normal non-pandemic times attend a lot of Hollywood parties/functions due to my job. I've met hundreds of celebs/models/athletes and each is different. Most are nice and fine and understand being in the public spotlight. Some are shy and standoff-ish like Olivia was. Others are downright mean. I don't fault her for being the way she was with me. And to be clear, she wasn't unpleasant or rude. Just slightly uncomfortable, especially at first. Warmed up a bit as convo went on and I think I made it clear I wasn't a random guy hitting on her (I am realistic and know I could never get a girl like Olivia so I don't even try).

This.

I don't want to say 100% she's a shy person, though I certainly got some of that. I think it's a combo of that with her also not wanting any part of a public spotlight and not really wanting to be recognized out in public. She was at a concert with some friends, I just happened to be there and notice her and i'm not shy about approaching celebrities/models just to say a few things and ask for a photo with them. I could tell she just wasn't into that. Not that she was rude, she just didn't care for the attention. She talked a little, especially about her shoot for the 2020 SI swimsuit issue and was happy when I told her I hoped she got the cover. I think this part of her goes hand in hand with the fact she's pretty quiet on social media. No twitter account, or tik tok/snapchat that i am aware of. Just Instagram and even that she doesn't post much on.

Tall. I'm 6-foot and the difference was minimal to be honest. Very long legs.

I met her last year before pandemic began at a small venue for a concert. She was nice/shy. I don't think she had ever been recognized by a "fan" before and it caught her off guard. She was very pretty especially for having zero makeup on. Was wearing all black (leggings/pants and t-shirt). Only negative for me was she had smoked several cigarettes and that's a turn off for me.

same here but the rest are good, she's amazing

those have to be older photos, right? her hair is more brunette now and has been for a while also she appears to be in NYC again shooting stuff

^ 1 second of Olivia in that video and I had hoped for the entire video to be of her lol

my bad, it was tropicofc IG story (sometimes I confuse the 2) and didn't see they tagged another model so I am assuming that's the model in the video I'll shut up now

She pregnant again or is the most recent IG story just an old video?

I wish one of these paps would take decent video of her on the beach one of these times...

yes, people in Florida either have a death wish or don't care about killing others while people who understand science and respect actual experts are OK wearing masks, social distancing and staying away from people in enclosed spaces for a while longer until it's safe again

Due to the pandemic and current outbreak status, a lot of people are getting some place and staying put for a while now. A number of models/celebrities I follow have done this over the last 8 months, they get somewhere and stay for months before returning. At this point, almost anywhere she went she would have to immediately begin isolating for 2 weeks anyway so probably better to just stay and ride this out (if she isn't living there now).

Could it simply be a matter of fulfilling her contractual obligations and literally NOTHING more? For instance, maybe she is required by her contract to mention them X amount of times over a given time period or post of them X amount of times so she has to do it BUT there is no requirement for what they post on their account. She therefore is untagging herself since she has a "competing" line of swimwear now and therefore is trying to distance herself as best as she can while still living up to the legal obligations she signed on for. just throwing it out there as one possible reason

I hope there are more photos and videos for that line...

I honestly think that part of her shoot was just deemed to risque and inappropriate for video, it is a very revealing swimsuit. It probably fell into the category with see-thru ones where in the magazine you can see models' nipples but then they never release video of them in those swimsuits

I know this is a weird question to ask now, but... Did anyone ever see any videos of her 2019 SI Swimsuit shoot in the black 1-piece thong? The 3-4 photos they released in that swimsuit were insanely hot but I never saw video footage of it. Thanks in advance.

I've been really disappointed in the videos from SI this year. I thought her shoot was spectacular an they've only released 3 videos of it, two of which are very short and the scuba diving one is not much of her actual shoot even

why black and white photos? i hate that artsy crap... we live in a time where we can make photos so colorful and vibrant and idiots have to go back decades to b&w... hate it

Olivia has vaulted up my list of favorite models and is very close to the top at this point. I actually met her out in Los Angeles at a concert back in February. She was in all black (pants and a T-shirt that was like 2 sizes too big on her) and yet she still looked gorgeous. Pretty nice too, seemed flattered someone recognized her. i think the SI photos this year are great. I would have loved them to be a bit more revealing of course but she is a rare human where it's impossible for her to take a bad photo.

I agree. I think for many of us it's the realization that we're in for another year with zero Candice content and that retirement is right around the corner.

I think she will be retiring soon and this last VSFS was clearly her last. As a fan, I am sad about this news but she loves being a mother and clearly wants a big family so good for her.

oh well then forget everything I said...
