December 21, 201311 yr "Next" Lingerie Collection 2014 / HQs Shanina looking fantastic!I'm going to go out on a limb and say the reason Shanina didn't walk this year is related to these types of pics. ^ While we like her on the curvy side I can see VS throwing a fit because for a lack of better words, Shanina would look "large" standing next to the vast majority of models they had walk this year, and not to mention the camera adds 10 pounds (take in mind those pics are photo shopped to make her look trimmer). Sadly I think Shanina got the memo because based on her new candids, she's a frail looking. A shell of a her former curvy self

December 22, 201311 yr She's not necessarily thinner now. Photoshop is used to make the models look fuller in lingerie pics rather than thinner.
December 22, 201311 yr ^Are you sure? Because if that's true that's crazy?!Some are making them thin, some are making them thick...Maybe models should stop modelling and brands and retailers should just "create" their perfect models using various technologies.No need for real human beings. On the VS thing and the whole weight discussion, I agree mostly with the fact that she does look bigger in swim/lingerie pics than say, last year. But I don't think she is anorexic in that selfie, it's mostly how she's stretched her arms out to take the pic. Shanina has never been a skinny model anyways, but she's never been fat either. She is just that type of swim/lingerie model with a waist and thighs, which makes me wonder why a famous lingerie brand like VS, which promotes the whole healthy body thing, rejected her and others like her, with similar bodies.Go figure.Â
December 22, 201311 yr Well, some brand (I think it was H&M but I might be misremembering) already did that. They photoshop mannequins to look like bodies and paste a face on top of it. And It's easier to take a skinny model and photoshop off the ribs to make her look hourglassy than one with more meat on the sides.
December 22, 201311 yr Those Madeleine Beach & Swimwear pics though>>>>Â And I agree I think her body is darn near perfect the way it is, so I really hope she doesn't give in to the pressure and lose a ton of weight.
December 22, 201311 yr I am pretty sure she wasn't photosopped here. You can tell but the belly and the natural skin folds. They never photoshop it to be this realistic: Â Â Yes, magazines/catalogs will use photoshop to add some curves to their hips or backside but they never photoshop the belly to look bigger. They usually photoshop the hell out of waists to make them look thinner. And I am not saying she looks big now, I actually like it and think that's how lingerie models should look like (Y)Â I, too hope she won't give in and lose weight for VS because it looks like she's getting jobs with this body.
December 28, 201311 yr So pretty in the Christmas photo. Shanina is gorgeous and womanly and brands like Next and Madeleine swimwear 'get' it.  But it is surprising with the amount of time she spend at the gym in the lead-up to VSFS that her body didn't look more toned. I read somewhere that it was only after her first VS appearance in 2011, that she felt other models worked on their bodies so much harder than she did so she started to take it more seriously with proper training in a gym. I thought her body looked perfect in 2011 as it was.Â
December 28, 201311 yr I am pretty sure she wasn't photosopped here. You can tell but the belly and the natural skin folds. They never photoshop it to be this realistic:You are right. The pics have zero photoshop and her body is amazing. Perfect skin & perfect shapes.
December 29, 201311 yr She needs to tone up a little bit. She still looks fantastic, but I do agree that she would look even better if she toned up a little bit. In my opinion at least.
