Ed and Monica have done some bad decisions for the brand in the past years (Ed even admitted to that in the "infamous" vogue interview) but this is probably the first time in years that I want both of them to stay. Ed expressed his opinion straight forward and we sadly live in a generation full of entitled pussies who can't deal with the word "no". His age shouldn't be blamed for refusing to succumb to this PC mess (under PC standards you are agephobic haha). A new mentality is not automatically a better mentality. A new CEO will come with the high risk of VS becoming a PC brand as well. People always say they will stop following VS once Adriana is gone. I will stop following VS when it becomes PC. *Looking at you Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue*

I am not following Sports Illustrated at all, so can you tell me what exactly happened to them?

If that’s the case, then good riddance lol VS is outdated and tacky as hell and the “fantasy” image they’ve been selling hasn’t worked for last 4 years if you haven’t noticed because none of the current angels are selling. VS is absolute garbage nowadays and that’s because they are not keeping up with the times and their shit is overpriced and terrible quality. Who cares if they’ll head forward with a “PC mentality”, it’s almost 2019 and it’s time for change. They don’t necessarily have to put trans models and plus size models on the runway, but if Ed step downs because of the backlash, next year they most certainly will and even if he does stay, it’ll happen regardless so Ed can gaslight and bask in the ambiance he’ll get from the press of him “doing the right thing”.  Doesn’t matter what you want honey, but if the brand continues to follow the direction their going, they’re currently headed straight into bankruptcy (they already have actually haha). I can see the last VS show being in 2020 if they don’t change things. This is such a mess.

I guess it’s safe to say Lily A is already out as an Angel? lol I can’t imagine Ed and co. wanting her back next year if she didn’t support him then again maybe this will mean he’ll FINALLY do us a favor and step down. He, Sophia and Monica completely shattered what reputation VS had left and Adriana’s departure sealed it. There’s gonna be some VERY dark times headed for the future of VS...

Not too sure. Just woke up went to post something and it had been taken down. :(

My email for the account is now slowly filling up with IG copyright claims from VS for the 2018 show videos. But the same person  reporting me is also saying they have copyright over audience camera footage so I don't know...

That’s so frustrating. I’ll still be keeping up with your account though. ❤️

I'm guessing it was a condition that came with the invitations? Like, if you accept, any and all footage you take will belong to VS?

Hasn’t his account been taken down numerous times before and each time he starts a new one? :idk: Pretty sure he’ll be back up and running soon :thumbs_up:

VS is having shit tones of bad press because of that interview... No bueno.

It’s worse than the time they put Karlie in a headdress. 

 

What’s also bad is the fact that the show was already getting negative press before the interview was posted and later went viral. Almost all the stories leading up to showday were questioning why the show still exists and won’t change its ways. 

 

I’ll be genuinely shocked if this results in Ed stepping down as CMO (solely because it seems like they would have to drag him out of there kicking and screaming before he ever goes willingly), but I hope it does because as others have said, they need some new blood.

Ok so from the pics and vids who are (1) the three new models that you liked, (2) three returning models who look good even from last year), (3) three that thanks but no thanks and (4) three models you missed from the last couple of years.

 

Liked: Yasmin, Willow and Saabah (one look but she looks GOOD)

Return: Shanina, Toni, Barbara

No thanks: Gigi, Alexina and Winnie (I actually think Kendall looks better than Gigi) (bonus: Devon)

Missed: Maria, Blanca, Leila 

1) Lo, Yasmine, and almost all the newbies, tbh.

 

2) Barbara P, Toni, Shanina.

(All returning triumphant after a few years away. I can come up with more returning models if needed.)

 

3) Winnie, Kendall.

(these are probably due to entitlement attitudes)

 

4) Doutzen, Maria B, The great expectation and excitement of watching the show. The cool factor is gone.

(And one who walked in 2010, in Pink, with green sweatsuit, and a pink dog bag- Fabiana Semprebom.

She was in the batch of Brazilians who popped up in VS around 2006/2007 for catalog and website work.)

Honestly i feel bad for whoever is the next angel. If they announce a new one, that girl will get A LOT of hate because we know that it isn't going to be a plus size model so the people will be really mad again. Or at least, they should wait a couple of months to do it, when people forget this drama.

Does anyone think VS will announce a new Angel?

 

If not Grace, I could see them hiring Alexina. (Who happens to be 28 and married?! I had no idea.)

I would be happy if one of them got it there was rumours about Alexina becoming one last year because of her working with them but it was just to advertise their products
