i'm whelmed. nothing jumped out, just a whole lot of meh.

@Clauds @JazzyJas2.0 you guys see she came out with a mascara finally?

Say what you want about the new spring preview and all, but man those mauve-y pink colors are just calling my name. Also not all that surprised to see the diversity, forced or not, in the campaign. Their every day angel/survey program had a whole topic devoted to people's thoughts about not just the models, but sizes as well.

Generalization, also campaigns is plural because it hasn't been a one time thing.

Again, what's the point of having contracted angels if you're gonna use some random models in the campaigns too?

What in the hell did I just watch.

If you tell me those FLLxVS looks aren't someone just got a bedazzler, I'm calling you a liar.

Always late to the party but there are some shots of Alexina from the "holiday" shoot that I actually like. The red bra + tulle and one with a more neutral face in PJs suit her better than her OTT mid-life-for-a-model-crisis stuff. Also can we not have these random girls shooting like Brigit, Winnie, and Lorena (though I appreciate her fuller appearing chest for personal shopping reasons). All these angels and still gotta have some random girl that no one outside Bellazon/TFS/maybe instagram is gonna know when the general public probably can't even name any of the angels. (I interviewed at VS a few years ago and if they didn't know who the fuck Candice was, I have no hope general public does either) That said I'm loving the red bras and I absolutely have no reason for a red bra.

Whoever did hair and makeup for the lingerie shoot really needs to reconsider how bland they made the girls. Romee looks awful, and Alexina looks so haggard in those shots with her hair up I forgot I was looking at a younger woman and not someone in her 40s. The accessory shots look so much better. That might be one of my favorite shots of Stella honestly.

Um excuse me but 2010 gave us Maryna Linchuk punching a balloon and Katy Perry trying to grab asses so obviously that wins all. /s Little disappointed the new luxe lingerie collection won't be used for some show looks. Kinda get a 2008 Black Tie Holiday/Dangerous/2014 Angel Ball feel from some of them. On a slightly different note, besides trying to deep dive into respective threads (because I tried), would anyone know of a good place to look for some old VS pictures? I'm looking for some from holiday 2017 and can't seem to find the ones I'm looking for besides in a very small size.

Especially noticeable in the youtube beauty community. These influencers will be hanging out posting pictures together and I can't tell who is who because they all look so alike due to the way they apply their makeup. It looks exactly like what Carolina is doing and exactly what toodarnhot described.

The white wall pictures are giving her such greasy hair vibes that the set pictures don't have.

Not a single word. Granted I'm following the same but swap Taylor for Sara + Babs.

I think it might be one of the in-store displays. Not sure you can buy them.

Call me curious, but do you have an issue when IG accounts like DietPrada or ShitModelManagement blast photographers based on allegations from models with nothing but their word?

The Boston Globe article about allegations against him (among others and not just from VS shoots) plus another article of him defending himself to WWD and he's just now saying that he's learning why he was let go? Something's not adding up somewhere, whichever side it may be.

Leomie barely works for the brand but this is her what, third or fourth event? Bab's outfit does not match the theme of the collection though its technically season appropriate. Grace looks amazing, I like Sara's look but her makeup definitely needed a little extra something. Martha's look isn't terrible, not my favorite, but I thought she was wearing Doc Martens at first glance. Oops. Also we have video of the collection on youtube.

So who were Ed's favorites again? Better get them on career watch!

Seems they're doing the same with Valentina that they did with Barbara recently; using them to appease the people calling them out for not using bigger sized women or trans women without outright coming out and saying look what we're doing! It doesn't feel forced like some brands (looking at you ThirdLove with your oh we're not VS ~ bullshit despite your whole starting because someone from VS quit/got fired, but I digress), but it also isn't 100% genuine, like say Aerie with their AerieReal movement. I'm curious, is the new collection that's dropping in a few days not the fall collection that's been out in stores already? Because if they're saying its the fall collection that's dropping when its already out, someone needs to get their shit together. However, I will say that the new fall collection does seem to be of better quality when I tried it on. I briefly looked at some of the cheaper underwear they have (you know the ones that fall apart after a couple washes) and it seems the seamless ones that aren't the sexy illusions one are a lot thicker in material than they were in the past. Like very thick almost the same as their knockout pants type material. Those super thin sexy illusions ones are truly awful so I'm happy to see that the other ones at least appear to be better in quality. As for the show, really doesn't seem like its going to happen this year. If it is, I'm still not surprised by no train like an angel tags or anything since it seems that's about to be discontinued soon. My store used to have a whole section dedicated to sport and now its a back wall with just a few things left, not to mention the website doesn't look like they're releasing anything new, nor has VS Sport instagram really been updated either. Sort of makes sense with the push for Pink Sport but also disappointing because the incredible sport bra is the only sports bra that works for me.

I tried Love Spell spray when someone gifted it to me but it just isn't one that I grab all that often. I've had it over 10 years now and I've only used maybe half of it. I've barely put a dent in the Warm & Cozy spray from Pink. I picked up Eau So Party at a SAS and honestly VS should not have tried to remix Eau So Sexy by adding lime. No wonder it was only $6. VS perfume could be so much better.

That's what I was thinking. Same color scheme, plus the video Russell posted looked like a perfume ad.

But we got the most glorious sight of Maryna Linchuk punching a balloon!

"Thoughts and prayers" that meeting was really Sophia getting canned. I'm good with no show this year; cut some dead weight and clean house, and come up with some new, exciting ideas to move forward.

I used to get them once a quarter because of having an angel card, but they stopped sending those and gave me mainline ones instead (not that I'm complaining, I'm not pink's demographic anymore). But all that "pink is ______________" sounds like they really want pink to compete against Aerie. I just got a coupon booklet from Aerie and it's all "AerieRealism is ___________".

Oh boy, here we go again.
