PinkCouture Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I think Adri pretty much shot herself in the foot with the whole GQ thing, but I guess any publicity is good.And yes, her English skills isn't great but I think it is more that she lack the poise and and charisma. I think those are the main reasons why VS isn't using her in many of their promos. When they do, other models or VS' PR always accompanies her.

ninanina19 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Yeah but she's so hot and good for VS. She's the hottest VS angel now almost easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excelsior Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I think Adri pretty much shot herself in the foot with the whole GQ thing, but I guess any publicity is good.And yes, her English skills isn't great but I think it is more that she lack the poise and and charisma. I think those are the main reasons why VS isn't using her in many of their promos. When they do, other models or VS' PR always accompanies her.Well, she did. However, I was watching an interview she did at the Spiderman 3 Premiere today. Several things struck me.First, she's been to a whole lot of premieres and the like in recent weeks. Probably more so than she did in the whole of 2006.Second, her voice - it is a lot deeper (but not sore throat-esque) and she was speaking noticably slower than in the past. As if she was concentrating on what she said.Thirdly, what she said. The interviewer asked her if she had ever been to Queens before (daft question!). She replied, "I have got a funny story about that". That's a choice phrase - the reason people say that in media interviews and on the likes of Letterman is it suddenly gets the undivided attention of the questioner. Funny stories have punchlines. Punchlines come at the end, so the interviewer wont interrupt till the person has finished speaking. The clever part is, it doesn't matter if the reply is funny or not. The reason I know this is because I have had media training.Given that Adriana has (a) got herself out there more, (b) worked on her english and © seems to have had work on her handling of the media, and I should point out that now not working in the role I once was I am making as much of an educated guess at everyone else, it could be that VS are going to try and elevate Adriana's profile again.

vanezinha Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Some people use to question why she lives in U.S for so many years and still cannot speak English like the other Brazilian girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkCouture Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Kinda off-topic, but there are many people in the US who have lived here for a long time and they still can't speak English. And I am not only talking about foreigners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam12 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Where did u see the interview? Its on youtube Pink here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZXGj3GZ6Sg I cringed when she said "Hi" in that deep voice, it got deeper than before if that is possible. But other than that she was cute as always and looked great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkCouture Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 ^ I have noticed recently her voice does sound more raspy (sp?)---even before this interview. She kinda sounds like a drag queen But I must say, she is definitely a lot more poised and relaxed than before. I think someone (perhaps it was you Sam12) said she might have gotten some PR/Comm. training, and I agree Maybe it's VS b/c they want her to participate in more promos and etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
