Tried to find the shoot in better quality (with all due respect to Ms. Whithead... :heythere:) but was unable. Did find some better quality shots from previous eds with Hugh Lippe though:

I hate the smoking pic :(

I don't like it when pretty models smoke :no: I don't even like it when normal people smoke :ermm:

^Afraid it's fairly endemic in the fashion world... :/

Surely this must be the last of these? Despite being on the runway for roughly a nano-second, we seem to have a fair few pictures to appreciate her by (from VSAllAccess):

^Ah - the eternal question!!! I shouldn't take too much stock in the show's intro - they also listed Rosie, Candice, Lindsay and Erin (who wasn't even one of those 5 in the 'Is She Or Isn't She A New Angel?' debate from a month or so ago). I guess all that was the network's doing anyway..?

Suffice to say she was front and centre with the established 'Angels' at the Times Square photo-shoot (plus the finale), and is listed as one of them on the VSAllAccess site. She's certainly the PINK spokesperson - but beyond that I wouldn't want to commit any further. Some people around here get very anal about who is and who isn't an Angel... :ninja:

Behati Prinsloo: The (Slightly More) Attainable Victoria's Secret Model

December 1, 2009 at 6:54PM by Matt Sullivan

A supermodel is a many splendored thing. And, as one colleague who had a chance to meet several of them told me the other day, an occasionally inarticulate one. Also, as another who had not reminded me yesterday, increasingly alien. I mean, supermodel assumes some sort of Kryptonian freakishness, but the splendor is no longer slender. It is buxom and it is intimidating and it is foreign. Long gone is the stringbean off the bus from Kansas, which isn't such a bad thing given body issues and humanity's general lack of, you know, rump — except that supermodels are no longer accessible in the imaginative way a man would wish them to be.

You could blame the entire country of Brazil for this. You could thank it, too. But nowhere has the procession of too-good-to-be-true vixens trampled on the off-the-bus-from-Kansas stringbeans than in the pages of an underwear catalogue for women from Kansas. As a former colleague who flew on a private jet with the too aptly named Angels once wrote: "Victoria's Secret models aren't the forbidden fruit; they're the plastic, decorative kind." Gisele? Makes her alien husband feel right at home. Adriana Lima? Goes to the gym in her sleep. Miranda Kerr? Stop it. And now Candice Swanepoel? Looks like she's a product of a 3D printer.

Out of this statuesque starship, blessedly, comes Behati Prinsloo. I met this supermodel, whom I had never heard of, a couple weeks back immediately after meeting (Alessandra Ambrosio) and (Marisa Miller), who were in town for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which is not really a fashion show but nonetheless airs tonight at ten on CBS. This supermodel was twenty years old and spoke articulately and reminded me of Mariel Hemingway in Manhattan and liked Metallica. Sure, she turned out to be a runway veteran and from Namibia and reminded a lot of people of someone because she's in about every fashion ad in every magazine in the world. And Marisa Miller likes good music, too. But she was just real enough to make one think there needn't be a women's underwear catalogue and a primetime special and the entire country of Brazil between man and splendor. So after tonight's other primetime special, flip over to CBS, get distracted, then find this supermodel. She's the one with the freckles who laughs by accident. We're not in Kansas anymore, but it couldn't hurt to pretend.

^The Manhattan reference is a beaut - but "She's the one with the freckles who laughs by accident", well that's just nigh-on perfect... :heart:
