Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2008 - Please see first post before posting*UPDATED

[HighMaintenance]

Sorry Juliax, I'm a little tired hahahah, I've read it but I didn't know why I quoted it again and asked you that question..hmmm but anyway let's keep our fingers crossed.

[shop7th]

I definitely don't want to see Erin there either.. she doesn't fit the VS look. She has a different thing going, which is cool, but definitely not for this show.

[Trista]

Things I hope to see more of:
Model profiles. 2001 was the best year for that, because they had a little piece with each model.
Outfits like 2003 and 2005. Last year SUCKED in that regard.
Models who are not the Angels.
Funny segments with the girls...there was one with Frankie and Mini in the 2003 show that was.

Things I hope to see less of:
Adriana (but I know that won't happen)
Heidi Klum
The slow-mo camera things
Angela Lindvall, and her gesturing (best word to describe them: WACK)

Models I want to see:
Ajuma: So underrated, she definitely has the body for it, and she has the fiercest walk.
Anne V: She's made a bit of a comeback to runway, and she's been an SI feature for several years now...a true crossover model if there ever was one.
Natasha Poly: Nothing more needs to be said.
Behati: Not only is she one of the rising stars in VS-at least to me-but she's got the personality and the walk.
Sabina Karlsson: I remember reading in an interview that one of her dreams was to do VS (if I recall correctly) and she was good for the Pink stuff in the catalogues this year...and I would love to see that giant head of hair of hers on the runway.
Lakshmi Menon: She's got a better walk than Ujjwala, it's time another Indian girl got in VS, and well, take a look at her Vogue India cover from this summer.
Alana K.: One look at her in Hussein Chalayan convinced me that she needs to be in the VSFS...and I did not follow her for one second before seeing the backstage shots and wondering "Who is that girl with Eugenia?" Speaking of which...
Eugenia Mandzhieva: I don't give two hoots about what you think about me putting her in...she's got legs for days, she definitely can do glamour, and she has the most adorable smile.
Noemie Lenoir: If you took away the wack gesturing (looks like they all learned from the Angela Lindvall academy), she was pound for pound one of the best ones there last year.

People I do NOT want to see:
Hilary Rhoda: I am a big fan of hers, but at the same time, her VS swim stuff was atrocious.
Angela Lindvall: No reason necessary.
Erin Wasson: Don't like the face, don't like the body, don't like the walk...just all around FAIL.
Eugenia V.: See above.
Chanel Iman: *snore*

and Fontana as well

Do you all think that Fernanda will return, since she just walked for DSquared

[papa_levante]

It's so fun to see the models that users do and don't want in. I don't usually read them, but I like to see how we each critique differently.

I won't complain. The show has gone downhill since 2005, so I expect a major improvement. I'm sure the people at VS have noticed how corny the show is.

[Destined]

Really pissed, I made this super long post, and then tfs user time out, logged me out....
So the girls I want to make a return there are
Andi Muise(She didnt have that hot of a show season, I want her to sex it up! lol)
Eugenia Volodina
Heather Marks(She has nice runway antics)
Jeisa Chiminazzo
Michaela Kocianova
Candice Swanepoel
Natasha Poly
Dewi Driegen
Ana Beatriz Barros (the show isnt the same without her >.< )
Isabeli Fontana
Katie Wile ( aha I just want her there again )

The models I wantto make their debut
Rachel Clark
Ekat Kiseleva
Arlenis Sosa Pena
Sessilee Lopez
Milagros Schmoll(She's red head too, but blonde for the show maybe?)
Cintia Dicker( Please please please, this red head over elise, PLEASE!)
Emanuela De Paula (It would be about time, she's been in catalogs for like 2 years now!!This girl is amazing, can't wait to see her turn it out!)
Bar Rafaeli
Catherine McNeil
Emina Cunmulaj
Kemp Muhl

Don't want to see
Elise Crombez
Morgane Dubled
Inguna Butane
Behati Prinsloo
Julia Stegner
Ajuma Nasunyana


And I kinda want Gisele to Crash the show, and storm the runway ahahah

[CoutureChic]

Well it's well known that Adriana, Alessandra and Marisa browse online, Adriana esp like to read comments on how things looked, and I'm sure Adriana along with the other 2 and other models report back, which might have helped with them doing a total 180...the pics from this years vs catalogs 9except the swim pics) have pretty much went back to the styling of vs 2004 and prior so if that's any indication it should be good.

i didn't know that alessandra will join the show.. how is possible? she should take a break..

Well, Heidi did it in less than 2 months back in 2005, I am sure Alessandra can do it since she has much more time than that.

Thanks for that, CC. I've got some hope left now.

I personally dont think Lakshmi has a better walk than Ujjwala, but I do find her more appealing than Ujjwala.

[CoutureChic]

There are some people thinking Ale will get special attention for the baby, and I don't think that's going to happen. the big year when Heidi came back from her second child in two months, it was never mentioned in the actual show. Plus while I adore Ale sometimes, she's not up to the popularity of Heidi or say Adriana, and with heidi being there and Adriana being called the star of the show this year, and with the fact the birth of a baby from one of the models has never been mentioned i don't think it's going to happen.

As for the photographs, yea if you look back at this years ad campaigns they look like the ads that came out in 2003, as opposed to the crap from last year.

[iRyan]

I'm sooo excited Adriana is wearing the fantasy bra this year!

As for who I want to see...
Cintia Dicker
Heather Marks
Natasha Poly
Ana Beatriz Barros
Angela Lindvall
Lily Donaldson
Jessica Stam
Bianca Balti
Arlenis Sosa Pena

It's probably unlikely but I'd love to see Anna Selezneva doing VS at some point. She's so cute and sexy.

[rockangel]

Oh yeah!!! I hope the return of fernanda tavares ....she is stunning, fierce and sexy ..and her walk is spectacular!

[HighMaintenance]

I don't think there will be a lot of new faces in the show?
But if I want to see one person in the show that would be Bar Refaeli. I love her. She's stunning now that Gisele is gone, she can come back right?
