As long as she's there, Adriana is their biggest STAR and most recognizable/she's a better talker than Candice with her ....slow ...talking ...and ....not ....much ...expression ....in ....her ....voice.
That's probably the main reason Candice is/was jealous of Adriana
Even though she got to be in the spotlight, they always focused more on Adriana.

Thank you
The clique's situation was actually the main reason I never participated.
I do apreciate the time and effort some of you put into the forum, but please, if you really want people to stick by up don't be so hostile. This is supposed to be all in good fun
Well said.

As a new poster I stand by this. I usually go through bellazon when I'm bored or when I need to spend some time relaxing my mind. This is a fashion show, and not even one of the most serious ones. It is entertaining to read about it but lets get a reality check and remember that this is a public forum and that it isn't that serious. That being said, I actually think that the 100 post mark is a good idea. It motivated me to join in but facing backlash for doing what you asked for is just discouraging,
I can imagine it must be very annoying to finally reach those 100 posts and then see members with thousands of them laughing and making fun of said new members. Anyway, with that being said, I'd like to be different than those people and welcome you! I sure hope you'll get a warmer welcome than I did when I joined.

I’m confused by this. When have people not been able to express their views that are different to someone else’s?
It’s nothing to do with those images eventually ending up on the web, yes we know that but BZ we get them here first. So being here on the day of the show you’re getting everything before everyone else. It’s a pretty awesome privilege because we get UHQ photos almost instantly and we have a fun discussion. Again there’s nothing wrong with people being contributing members to this forum to have to access that fun thing that we get to do. But at least this way contributing members are the people who get to enjoy this content and not just every single guest. Understand now?
I don't get why you're so confused. You literally said I'm going at people and always want to be authoritarian at everything, which isn't true, I was just asking something. That's why I said apparently it's not allowed to express their views (or ask a question) that are different to others. There was no need for you to make such a snarky comment yet you did it anyway, for what? Right, because I said and ask questions that most don't and I guess that rubs some the wrong way.
Probably asking too much now again but I'll try anyway, how and why does BZ get everything first then? Before the press etc? That's stretching it a bit far don't you think. If that really is true then awesome but things will keep on getting leaked no matter what gets done because there will always be people who think it's okay to "take" other people their work and share it elsewhere. But if we're really going that route, then we should also always credit the photographer (s) taking all those pictures we see of the show, since they are the ones taking them and not us. That'd just be more fair, no?
I know I wouldn't like it if I was that photographer and saw my work all over the place but with zero credits.

I don’t know what clique you’re talking about it’s not about who’s been here long it’s about the fact we all started off posting new for the first time and had to become valued members of the forum. Everyone has to do it and this thread is a very big deal. We have thousands of people who come on during the time of the show and most are just guests and new users. I fully believe people should be contributing members to the forum to gain access to this section, just as I was when I started out. Again people like pretty, pheno and Clauds spend their own money to get pictures for us on here and provide it to us for nothing. Just so random people can take it and splash it everywhere else. If they decided to
stop doing that then what are we all gonna do? Cause I highly doubt anyone else is gonna pay for it.
And even so some of us are closer to each other what the big deal. I’ve been posting on here since 2008. I’ve known some members on here for that long. We are friends even if it’s just via a forum or PMs.
And how are we (as in others who aren't as close with all your friends on here) supposed to know that they pay for those pictures? I don't know how they do that because those pictures are all over the internet anyway, but sorry for not automatically knowing everything, I guess I forgot that was a requirement too. If I were paying for these pictures I wouldn't want them to be all over the internet either but I wouldn't be posting them all over it in the first place so... Apparently this has been happening for years, why do your friends keep doing that then (spending a lot of money on those pictures and then posting them here?) Even with the post requirement thing, things are still getting leaked so I'm thinking it won't be any different this year.
All this talk about becoming a valued member etc is just silly. A member who's been here since 2007 or one who registered in 2017 is just as important and should be treated with the same amount of respect, regardless if you're close with them or not. I never said that it's bad that there are close friendships here on the forum, but there's a big difference between that or some people ganging together when things don't go their way or when someone says something that not everyone agrees with. There are so many members here and I think it's normal that there will always be people with a different opinion, which is what makes it interesting. It would be extremely boring if everyone just agreed on here even though that seems to be the goal, to not say too much or have too much criticism. -

@*Luna* don’t know why you feel the need to be the authoritarian on everything. I’ve noticed you seem to go at certain people a lot in these forums for whatever reasons. Say what you want but the end of the day there’s some of us who’ve been on here for a long time ok. This isn’t our first go at this. BZ has been doing this for years. Of course we want more people involved but look what happened when that user was posting things about Amilna and how it spread all over Instagram and the girl had to put a stop to it. That all stemmed from here. So forgive us for trying to make it a bit harder for trolls to have access. And if there are genuine people who want to be involved and post then they should just like all of us did at one point.
How am I "going" at certain people? I'm just observing what I see and read on here. I'm not making up stuff or whatever it is that you're implying. Also, just because "some of you" have been here longer doesn't make you any better or more important than people who registered later than you and those other "elite members". That comment of yours, yet again, confirmed how much of a clique this forum really is and then people are surprised trolls come here and don't have a lot of respect. It has to come from both sides, you know. You say you'd like more people involved yet when someone asks a serious question (in this case, me) I get accused of going at people and wanting to be the "authoritarian" on everything. You can't expect people to be nice if that's the way you welcome others.

@PastaFreak But like you said, if Clauds and whoever who says they want to protect themselves, they shouldn't be posting about their "inside info" so openly or hinting at it. If they want to share these things with their friends from Bellazon here then fine but why does it need to be done so publicly? I'm assuming she and whoever she's such good friends with probably also have her email or whatever, why not just share it there, personally, not publicly? Or heck even with a PM message. I don't expect anyone to share anything on here with me, especially not Clauds since she can't stand me for whatever reason, but it's annoying to see all these posts about "inside info" yet no one ever gets told anything unless you belong into their little circle, and if you do ask to share something then you usually get the standard "Oh no I can't, it's sensitive information that cannot be leaked. Nope nope nope." But then a few posts later they'll be saying stuff to their friends like "Check your PM hahaha I sent you a message with what I know about the show!!!". That's why I said what I said about why it's so annoying for the rest of us.

@PastaFreak You've made some good points but I find it really strange how people are so surprised now that there are a ton of new members and those members posting all over the forum. That was to be expected yet people are surprised as hell? That just doesn't make any sense. If you're going to lock a topic and only have it accessible to members with 100+ posts, you can expect a lot of new members just posting in a lot of random topics in order to get into said closed topic. That is just logic thinking. There's nothing weird or strange about that. I thin the 100 posts requirement is a lot better than 25 but still, people are still going to come in and "steal" information. Because honestly, like I already said before and Schemer as well, if people here didn't find out stuff about VS on other websites or read stuff, no one would have anything to talk about in here. No one. And as much as I'd like to believe these people who claim they have inside info and know names and whatnot, if you're not going to share those names or that information, then just don't mention anything about it. This was already brought up months ago that it's annoying as hell for other members to not be let in and that they have to see other certain members posting things like "I know something SUPER EXCITING OMFG, but should I post it?
" or "I know names, but I'm not gonna say it hahahaha!" What's the point of that? Either say it or don't, but don't tease people who don't belong in your clique and then get pissed that they would like to know stuff too. This just creates division and even more tension, but it seems that some members here like that and just love stirring the pot and that they don't want a forum where everyone matters, not just them and their little cliques.

What caused her leg pain?
As far as I know nothing is wrong with her leg but she has a fractured foot. She's basically the new Izabel Goulart (when it comes to working out) although I think Kelly is even more extreme. She never ever stops working out. 3x a day, walks everywhere even with that fractured foot, never allows herself to have a "cheat" (aka normal) day... I hope she'll wake up soon and realize this is not good at all.

Why are people laughing at all these new members posting because they also want to be able to read this topic? First y'all are annoyed they take your information (which isn't always your information to begin with, because what Schemer said a few pages back makes a lot of sense) and that they should actually participate and now that they do (even if it's for other reasons) they get laughed at? The level of maturity sure has reached an all time low here.
8 hours ago, Schemer said:Even if some people are here just to spread the news on their IGs why is that bad? We here also take news from other sources. If we all stopped sharing things we would all lose.
People here post stuff from other IG accounts and other websites, imagine if they banned people copying stuff from them. None of us here would have what to talk about.

@*Luna* Wouldn't it be scuffed for me to change the prerequisite on them after several people have just reached 25 posts?
If it were up to me, not at all. Obviously this lurker situation is a very big deal here to many people so why not?

As I said before going back at least 5 years the VSFS thread has been put on private around two weeks to a month before the show.. so once again we're on par with every other year, that's why now. And regardless if it makes sense or not, this is the time block that has been chosen as an appropriate time to close the thread by the staff. Everyone who is a participating member seems happy with the thread being more private.
A lot of people want the thread to be put to 100 posts, and I get that, but I've already committed to 25. Next year I'll lock the thread earlier and I'll possibly up the post count to 100.
It's not about the thread being private that seems odd to me, but like I said before too, 25 posts is hardly anything. Why not change it to 100 if it annoys everyone so much that there are lurkers? I'm sure those people won't be willing to post 100 posts vs 25 posts. I also find it a little strange that apparently next year the thread can be locked earlier and the post count will be 100 yet now it can't... Very confusing. The show is getting closer and closer and regardless of the 25 posts, those people who come here to get information won't stop because of a 25 posts requirement in order to view the topic so I'm guessing all the amazing good juicy news will get on IG anyway and then people here will still be surprised how that happened

Fun fact: sometimes we're just joking around with oír theories or sharing a random thought and ends up on IG as facts.
Anyway, Pretty only did what other members asked her too, it's not like you have to sell your soul to Satan to access to the thread.
That's not really the point...

I saw AT LEAST 10 different accounts posting a screenshot of the Amilna info, life a screenshot of the actual post on BZ. They may all not come here but it only takes 1 to spread the info
True but what do people here expect then? For some of those lurkers to read all this information and then just sit down and keep it all to themselves?? People constantly share things that they read on the internet. In the end most of us here are also just posting "rumors" and nothing has been really confirmed either so I don't understand the big fuss about it.
Let's say if someone would read something interesting about the show on a blog somewhere and wanted to share that information here, I highly doubt that they'd give credit to the blog tbh and that other Bellazon members would expect this person to credit the blog where they found that information. But if it's the other way around, people reading something on Bellazon and then sharing that information somewhere else credit should be given all the time?

@diamondtw The difference is that for those lurkers, there's nothing to lurk anymore because the part of the forum they want to see is closed, and honestly, 25 posts? Those people will just create an account, make 25 posts in a few topics and they'll be lurking again.
About the having respect thing, yes people should have more respect in general, especially on the internet nowadays it's just insane how people insult each other for no good reason, steal other people their work etc, but I honestly don't think someone here saying something about the show such as: Ok guys there will be 6 segments and the FB will be in segment 3 is SUCH valuable information and I don't think that can be viewed as stealing someone's work.
Would something like that really make a difference if someone (let's say a lurker) decided to "grab" that information and post it on their fan account. I honestly don't see what's so extremely bad about that. No one here can really confirm that what they say or know is the truth. I can say I've worked on the designs of the show and know who will wear what but that doesn't make it true. If certain people here feel so violated and think that no one should be looking at/reading their posts then maybe those people should make a whole new private forum where they and a few of their "clique" can go, because honestly, there are quite a few cliques here and that doesn't exactly make it all that fun either for newcomers or members who want to participate in conversations and who knows, might actually bring something new to the table, but nope that won't be allowed because #favoritism.

@Prettyphile Just wondering. I understand why the VSFS 2017 topic has been made private and only to people with a certain amount of posts, but why now? It makes zero sense to do it now, most "good" information has been posted all over social media anyway. It's only like 2 weeks before the show and people have been saying all kinds of things on Instagram (info that some members here are sure of that they apparently found here, although this forum isn't the only place to find info btw) for months. And as far as I know, before the VSFS 2017 topic was locked and only viewable to members with a certain amount of posts, it was a public topic, on a public forum open to anyone to see and I don't think there is anything wrong with people sharing that information, i.e. them posting something somewhere that's not Bellazon by saying "I read something about ... model and the show" etc. If there is some kind of rule then I'd sure like to know where to find these rules.
I think the topic should've been made private much earlier but that's just me. Now the rest of forum will probably be flooded by new members just posting unnecessary posts or just an emoji, but I guess that would be okay since other members here do that too
I also don't really understand how some people here are so certain that everything that's posted on social media must come from someone here? Like I said this isn't the only place on the web to find info on the show. Anyone can call themselves an insider, say they have juicy gossip or news and still be lying. There's never been proof and saying "yeah but I trust that person" doesn't exactly make it sound more trustworthy.

Looks to me that they photoshopped Candice some boobs too.
Lmao! Now I wonder how long it will be before they start photoshopping her butt too. I like some of Candice's work but some people really need to stop thinking and acting as if she is the best thing to ever happen, to VS and to mankind.

I seriously wonder why Kelly's agency doesn't have a talk with her regarding her obsession with working out. If she keeps doing this she won't even be able to step up onto that runway in 10 inch heels and huge wings (if she has wings). I'm not surprised she has a foot fracture (or had now since she uploaded a video of her training with a jump rope). She doesn't seem to get that she should've been resting instead of working out even more and walking everywhere non stop. Not that I want this for her but I'm afraid the only way she will wake up and realize this is just too much is that she can't go to Shanghai because of her foot...
Elsa Hosk
in Female Fashion Models
I wouldn't exactly call Elsa a NA anymore, she's been an angel for almost 3 years now...
And I don't get the whole fuss about her losing weight. She loses every year before the show and she'll gain right after, plus she always yoyo's with her weight. One month she's super skinny and the next she looks more curvy so.
