November 15, 201212 yr The main concern I have is the CBC airing. I work in a youth clinic and when Karlie hit the stage last year, it wasn't positively received (especially after her vogue shoot). I am just trying to see where this fascination in overly thin girls lies. Just as an unhealthy over weight person isn't well received, I cannot see why an under weight person is. It's really damaging to the youth. Which are evidently the next generation.And it's fine that some girls are really thin. (because that's what fashion wants)But toting her as the body to be...aspire to...that is quote unquote extraordinary. This is what is sickening.
November 15, 201212 yr ^ It's tough for them to be like Karlie, because the average woman hovers around 165 cm, and Karlie approaches 190 cm. You're right, I wouldn't advise skeletal implants or full-on plastic surgery. I think that's unhealthy.
November 15, 201212 yr The music is terrible! I was hoping Diamonds to be on Silver Screen Angels not DL! Bruno was great but that song is sleepy, imoIm so excited for Circus!! Loving the music (from the few videos)

November 15, 201212 yr Author I have to say that last year i got to watch the show in the US with the family i was living with at the time, and the overall reaction was like 'some of those girls look like haven't had a decent meal in ages' it really made the mom freak out a little and she was like WTF? whens he saw the girls so i do get elle16 when saying that the show is not well-received by everyone, when you show somebody who's spine is on full display on lingerie & that's the image you want to portray as 'sexy' it does affect some girls because some of them have the VS models as role-models when it comes to looks. I'd die if i have a daughter and she tells me she wants to look like some of the girls.I'm not saying that X or Y model is anorexic just because she's thin, I'm a size 0 myself so i know that being this small doesn't mean you starve yourself, he point is that i look healthy unlike some of the models do for example Lindsay is really tiny but she does look healthy and you can see that's just the way she is unlike Candice who honestly looks to me like she's about ready to pass out on the runway, however i think that this year was way better than last year in that sense, with the exception of a few it looks like VS at least took the time to cover most of the super-thin models with the outfits so hopefully we won't be seeing spines this year on national Tv.
November 15, 201212 yr Greatest comments about one VS model: "Points deducted for not having the build/body fat to grow breasts that jump around like epileptic puppies." "WOW SHE JUST GAVE ME A RAGING 4 INCH HARD ON!!!!!!! AND IM BLACK BY THE WAY!!!"
November 15, 201212 yr They don't want to be like Karlie. They don't give a crap about her face or height. It's the thinness.No it's the fact that magazines say that's what a woman should be.I think the fashion world should be more educated. They have so much pull for an uneducated bunch.
November 15, 201212 yr As for me, a woman,I don't find it wrong to be skinny, I like skinny type women and models.All my life, skinny,[but not skeleton type] models were of great motivation for me to stay in shape and and to not gain weight,I don't starve myself but I have great tips from them.Being thin is good .I'm not against curvy,or fat women,they're more real though also in Europe ,many real women are thin.
November 15, 201212 yr Who, in the real world, cares about high fashion? Blaming models for anorexia is quite stupid IMO. It's a lot more than just that.
November 15, 201212 yr Oh, why, only curvy women are real! Everyone should look like /fill in the name/ and /fill in the name/ is the best becasue /fill in the name/ looks like REAL woman, right, RIGHT? And /fill in the name/ should be an angel, oh, why Karlie is an angel she is fugly and skinny and she had three outfits and that is like SO WRONG because /fill in the name/ is way better! And /fill in the name/ is like healthy skinny, but look at /fill in the name/ is sick skinny, she has no /fill in the needed attributes/ and she is not sexy at all! VS should really think deeply about women they choose because all the silly girls in this world are gonna starve themselves to death!! Don´t have to thank me, just copy & paste - it saves a lot of time. Oh. I was watching VSFS with my grandma, and she told me "Can I eat them? Crunchyyyy" so I ran away because she had like these big, BIG eyes. Do not consider this post to be valid, because I´m not real, thus logically I could not be here and write this shit up.
November 15, 201212 yr I'm also not real,my family is not too,all my girlfriends aren't,my whole city girls aren't real.[we're all thin] Seriously,nothing wrong in both types,nothing wrong.
November 15, 201212 yr I think all women are beautiful; no matter if they're tall, stretched out, and skinny like Karlie, or shorter, compacted, and curvy like Barbara. I say we get back to discussing the actual VS show? if there's anything left to discuss
November 15, 201212 yr Skinny tall women for sure are beautiful,but not in Karlie caseWoman must have delicate,exquisite,feminine,striking facial features,and not their height or muscles make them beautiful

November 15, 201212 yr Actually I meant supermodel,sorry I wanted to say women who have leading positions in the world of the fashion Woman must stay true to themselves I think
November 15, 201212 yr I think in Karlie's case her body looks a bit wierd in lingerie, because her torso is rather straight without curves. Candice is really skinny too, but it looks much better on her, because she is also very curvy. And I guess Karlie's face is not as classicaly attractive as the faces of other VS models.That said, I don't think there is too much danger of girls being influenced to become too skinny. If you look at the comments on VS videos or posts outside of model forums, the models who get bashed/called ugly the most are: Karlie, Anja, Chanel - the really skinny girls.
November 16, 201212 yr I know this is late but can someone make a list of all the models in the show? Please and thank you
