No one yet. Judging from the posts I've seen, they were just starting to scout locations. :ninja: 

 

Vita and Jasmine are both confirmed. 

Yes for Vita. She would slay the holiday commercial

Because they have big boobs and the FB would look amazing in those boobs. They never have wore it before. Lais has been working for them for a long time already. And they have not use a model of color wearing the fantasy bra since Selita and that is a long time ago. 

Yes but they barely use Lais. It feels like everyone else has a better chance than her. For Jo it's just too soon.

Adriana is filming some boxing spot with her trainer in VSX, and Derek Blasgerg captioned it #CNNstyle on his snapchat. 

OMG is Vita still around? Like, do we need another blonde who the press can mix with any other model in every article? Boring. :banghead:

Y'all can't even agree on whom to fire, this just proves all of them are needed because they all appeal to a different market.

Yeah, but are they accounts with any credibility? One IG fan account will guess or theorize and the rest will report it as fact. Ie, Behati getting the FB last year. 

 

Barbara was doing more fittings today, and they fitted wings by Killer/Marian Hose. 

On a side note, does anyone know when they're supposed to be shooting the holiday commercial? Last year it was at the end of July, so I'm curious to know if anyone on here has heard anything yet. :smile:

From creating curves to removing body hair: Photo editor reveals just what goes on behind the scenes of a Victoria's Secret shoot

While most people are aware that re-touching at fashion labels is widespread, not so many people know exactly what sorcery goes on behind the scenes.

Enter one anonymous former Victoria's Secret Photoshopper, who has stepped forward to reveal what really happens during - and after - a bikini shoot.

The unnamed woman spoke to Refinery 29 about the secrets behind a swimwear shoot at VS, so that women can understand bodies as they really are, without having been edited to perfection.

From bumping up a model's cleavage and making the Victoria's Secret girls curvier, to removing unwanted stubble and even switching up body parts, FEMAIL takes a look at her findings.


THE DAY OF THE SHOOT

Before the editing process begins, the anonymous source says many alterations take place on the models in the flesh.

'The first thing they do is put in [hair] extensions,' she remembers.

'I don't think I was ever on a shoot with a model that had real hair.'

Next, she says that they enhance the women's cleavages, via 'chicken cutlets' and other shaping pads.

'If you hold up the bathing suit in your own hand, it's so heavy because they have all this sh*t sewed into it,' she says.

And from adding push-up bras to the models when they are wearing bikinis and swimsuits, to editing them out with technology later on, the source says that Victoria's Secret isn't the only brand to do this.

Instead, she believes it to be a routine practice.

'When you're wearing a strapless bikini, in no way, shape, or form [can] you have cleavage. It’s physically impossible with the way gravity works,' she says.

'That's why we're used to seeing anti-gravity breasts everywhere.'


 

Quote

 

 VICTORIA'S SECRET SECRETS

* Hair extensions are added to the models' hair to make it look thicker and more lustrous.

* Chicken cutlets and shaping pads are inserted into the models' cleavages.

* Push-up bras are often worn underneath swimsuits and bikinis, before they are edited out later on.

* Nipples are erased by a re-toucher.

* Breasts are made rounder, higher, more symmetrical and larger.

* Blue hands and feet are corrected. :rofl:

* Armpits are highlighted to remove the gray colour everyone has underneath their arms.

* Re-touchers make the models look curvier, making their bums look plumper, hiding their ribs and softening their often jutting hip bones.

* Sometimes, body parts are even switched up - one model's body will be matched with another's arms. This is to stop the photos from attracting criticism rather than make them look perfect most of the time.

 

 

THE DAY AFTER THE SHOOT

Once the photos have been taken, the re-toucher will get to work behind the scenes.
 They come to these photo shoots, and, like, they have their arms up in the classic beach pose, and they have, like, hairy armpits

The bra worn underneath the swimsuit will be removed, nipples are erased and breasts will be made rounder, higher, more symmetrical and larger, according to the source.

Next, 'blue hands and blue feet' will be corrected, as well as the fact that the model's armpits will be highlighted (the re-toucher says that everyone's armpits turn gray on camera, no matter how closely they shave beforehand):

'They all have stubbly pubes - all the normal stuff [non-models have],' she adds.


As well as this, the source says that 'adding meat on their bones' is standard - as the re-touchers spend hours making bums look more curvy, hiding ribs and softening hip bones.

'We have to curve them out,' she says.

In the past, the source told Refinery 29 that Victoria's Secret had tried women of different sizes to see if it worked for sales, but she laments that sadly those models didn't sell.

'One time, during a swim season, they had these two girls come in that had abs and thick thighs and busts,' she says.

'They were still obviously models. But they were a different look. but, they didn't sell anything and so they stopped using those girls.'

 

HOW BODIES BECOME TOTALLY DISTORTED

As well as all of the above, the source says that occasionally fixing various body part turns into something much more sinister.

Across the industry, re-touchers do not just edit bodies, but swap them and their parts for those of other people.
 A lot of the time re-touching isn't about trying to make a body look ideal, but also to avoid criticism of that image

'There's a lot of the switching bodies up,' the anonymous woman says.

'Can you change these arms with a different girl's arms, because her arms are making it look like she's, like, picking her butt?', is something she remembers hearing in the past.

The source adds that she nowadays, she refuses to take in waists, or whiten teeth or eyeballs.

'Nobody has really white eyes,' she says.

'And every company wants that because they think it looks brighter, but I think it looks really crazy.'
