Yeah they need another blonde/blue eyed angel... :whistle:

 

When the model has "It," she has it...period.  Don't ask me to describe what "It" is, but Martha has "It."  That thing that melts hearts and brings men to their knees.

 

You may disagree, which is entirely your right to do, but your facetiousness is certainly unappreciated  :mad:  :voodoo:  :clobber:  :beating:  

 

To be honest, VS has models of all types, shapes, and sizes.  Brunettes are just as represented as blondes.  To imply that one type is overrepresented is totally false.  Good day to you  :blah:

Ummmmm...there's more to being a Victoria's Secret Angel than that... but okay. Anywho, this is Candice's thread so why are we even discussing Martha?

 

But since we're on the topic... I personally thought she came off more slutty than sexy in the Holiday commercial for very sexy. And that does not scream VSA to anyone.

^ The discussion was related to Candice, but took a slight turn.  However, your point is well taken.

 

P.S. Martha has everything required to be an Angel and more.....last and final point on the matter.  Back to Candice and only Candice.

Candice looked undeniably beautiful but VS is so crappy to make me feel exited to see her wear the crown and then take it away WTF? I mean the queen does need her crown haha

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ps. I also do think that they give the wrong outfits to the wrong models (a lot of girls who should be more covered up were wearing too little, while Candice should've worn just really revealing outfits - because she has the body that pulls everything off). It's not that I hate them (I actually love some of their work) and please don't take me wrong, but I don't think it's flattering to see either Karlie (her body is perfect for HF, not for lingerie) or Doutzen (waaaaaaay too toned up, I don't like seeing a six pack on a girl) wearing only two pieces.

 

 

Just a few points:

 

1. Although Candice reigned, she was totally mishandled as far as her other two outfits were concerned.  The shipwrecked outfit was elegantly beautiful, but elegantly beautiful is not necessarily what I to see from VS regarding Candice.  I want them to let her do what she does and stun us with her unreal beauty and sexiness.  The way to do that is revealing lingerie....period!!!!  That is what they did for Adri and she was stunning.

 

2. Disagree with you regarding both Karlie and Doutzen.  VS did Karlie a tremendous wrong.  Her outfits were among the very worst of the show.  However, that woman has an incredible body, with an ass and legs that go on forever.  

 

Doutzen's body is on par with Candice's, and she has the best ass among the Angels.  No knock on my sweet baby, but that is just fact.  I don't mind her toned because she is still very much all woman.  Its nothing like a female bodybuilder :yuckky:  

 

3. Candice is the unquestioned number 1, but some much needed competition is on the way in the form of Martha Hunt.  All signs point to her fast rise as precursor to being promoted to Angel status very, very soon.  With two Angels lost this year and Doutzen's contract coming up at the start of the new year, new blood is badly needed.

 

Martha is the best American model to come along quite some time.  Her VS debut was stunning and I can't wait to see her in action live, after Candice of course.  I think she will continue to rise quickly and challenge Candice, which is not a bad thing.  Candice has become VS in all but name and will oversaturate the brand.  People (not me) may get Candice burnout (too much of good thing).  VS needs another model who can sell.  This will make both models better and increase the brand.

 

Sorry for the analysis, but analyzing facts and making predictions is what I do.

:yes: I could totally see Martha as an angel. She has that presence that the classic VS angels had and definitely embodies the VS image very well. And I actually can't think of a better competition for Candice at all, actually, so you're on point there.

However,

1. I like Candice a lot more than Martha

2. I would HATE VS if they didn't elevate Elsa Hosk to angel status because she's more gorgeous to me than Martha is (who is too). Elsa Hosk has a super large female fan-base (which is what marketing is directed at) and would be much better recieved than Martha would who is not even close to being as popular.

I have to agree with Avika. If Candice needs competition it needs to be a brunette. And I personally don't see anything special about Martha. She looks too much like Canidce to be put at the top with her. But in my opinion she's not as beautiful or sexy to sell like Candice.

I could just see how annoying it would be to have two blondes advertised everywhere. People would get burnt out on the both of them VERY quickly.

VS needs another Tyra or Niaomi. They need some color. If they just work with Lias, she could go far. She actually has breasts.

But back to Martha, have to disagree about her being the best American model in some time. That's Karlie Kloss if we're just being honest. I'm not even that much of a fan of hers.

I think we are approaching that time where VS is going to start pushing other models (they already have with Behati) as Adriana/Ale/Doutzen prepare to leave. Candice can't hold the company on her own. Hell, Gisele couldn't do that. They just need to choose who to push very very very wisely.

^^ Candice is the unquestioned #1 and is poised to be so for some time.  I think I have made it clear how I fell about her.  However, we won't really know until VS starts to push some new blood, which should be very soon.

 

Elsa Hosk?  Not my cup of tea, sorry.  She may have the popularity, but that b/c she has been with Pink for so long.  She has nothing on Martha in my opinion.

 

^  Not really seeing the blonde v. brunette dichotomy.  Maybe b/c I am a guy.  Ale, Adri, Lily, and Karlie have all been there.  As much as I love Lily, she cannot touch Candice.  The only brunette that may be able to hang with Candice is maybe Barabara Palvin.  Karlie is not great to me, but that is just me.  We all have our opinions.

 

As a man of color, I totally agree that more diversity is needed, like Tyra and Naomi.  Love that point.  Lais would be perfect.

I agree with this but if there were ever a blonde to "butt heads" with it'd be Martha. However, as much as I like Martha I would never want her to get picked over Elsa and I would love to see Toni Garrn instead of her speaking of blue-eyed blondes. Actually, Toni might be too beautiful for VS but she'd add more class and sophistication to it.

And holy shit! Fucking yes!! VS is sooo whitewashed. It isn't helping the racist label the fashion industry gets slapped with-like at all :no: b/c while they might not be racist the act of having merely 1 girl of color is NOT ENOUGH. I would love to see a 1st Asian VS angel too. This is 2013 it is about time. You would think by now we wouldn't have this problem but I'll stop myself right there before I continue to rant. :anger: :angry:

Candice is the unquestioned #1? Yeah for VS, that's it. But I guess since that is the topic at hand you're right.

 

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way about Elsa but she's MUCH more gorgeous in the face and body than Martha IMO which is why I would prefer to see her over Martha. However, Martha has "sexier" look but that gets old fast. All the VS angels are both gorgeous AND sexy.

 

I agree with you with Barbara. She might not be as sexy as Candice (yet) but she's a hell of a lot more gorgeous than Candice esp in the face (even though Candice is gorgeous too). Body is debatable.

 

I think we all agree that Lais is perfect for VS, lol.

I'm not seeing it with Barbra for quite some time. She just looks WAY too young. I feel bad because maybe VS should've used her in Pink first to make the transition easier but they've just jumped the gun. She looks 14. I think it would be a very big mistake to push her as the next big thing. VS needs to reclaim itself as a brand for women to buy their lingerie and putting someone who looks SO young everywhere would be a huge turnoff.

Anyways, back to Candice. Does anyone know what happened to her editorial in 25 magazine, the CR book, or what happened to the editorial she did where she had dyed her hair to brunette?

Thanks!

I loved her FB look, but missed wings, still I'am sure she rocked the runway, can't wait to watch the show. :ddr: And I especially LOVED her snow angels look, gorgeous! :woot:

Candice and Martha look unbelievably sexy and amazing together for 25 Magazine! Like, I don't even know what to say, my brain won't even work because I am so blown away by this editorial. I love it, and I love them.

For some reason it won't let me open the photos though, anybody else having this issue?

They need more Angels that are of color.  This isn't trying to be politically correct, it's just being honest.
