love the shots by terry

I can't believe this is Shanina's 3rd thread, some models haven't even filled one
I can imagine when Shanina comes back to Australia, she is going to be so busy. All the media outlets will want interviews. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if Cosmo, Cleo, Shop Til You Drop, Marie Claire, Grazia, and Madison want shoots with her.
I wouldn't be surprised if Chic wasn't already inundated with jobs for when she returns
The Aussie media gets excited when a model just does the catalogue, let alone the show
this just shows that some of us update her thread way too much 
Today tonight is that the Aussie version or is it in America?

au.news.yahoo.com/today-tonightThe Victoria's Secret catwalk is packed with most gorgeous women in the world, and now more of them are coming from Australia.
The famous rhinestone runway sets hearts racing and attracts an international audience of close to 40 million people.
It boasts performances from Jay-Z, Kanye West, Maroon 5 and Nicki Minaj, this year's Victoria's Secret fashion show is much more than just a show case for underwear - it is a world event.
This year, alongside 37 of the world's most famous figures, Shanina Shaik made her Victoria's Secret debut and proved to the world some of the best angels don't come from heaven, but from down under.

"Even though it was my first show I thought it was one of the best", Shanina said.
The 20-year-old Melbourne girl was only good enough to finish second to Rhys Uhlich on Seven's reality TV show Search for a Supermodel.
From reality TV to the big time runway, it has taken three years for Shanina to arrive at this point.
While beautiful in her own skin, Shanina and the 37 other models get a lot of help putting together the 30 minute Victoria's Secret show.
A team of 21 make-up artists, 19 hairdressers, 30 bottles of bronzer, 90 tubes of lip gloss, over 2 million Swarovski crystals and teams of security guards are needed to watch over Miranda Kerr's 71 carat diamond encrusted bra which is worth a cool $2.5 million.
"It's nearly a 14 hour day. You're in hair and make up for about 4-5 hours, so there's hair then do your face, then it's all your body, moisturising and then they actually take you downstairs into a dressing room and it's 20 minutes before you head onto the catwalk", Shanina said.
Then the most important and impractical part of the show - the 31 pairs of angel wings.
The price tag for this year's production was $12 million dollars - 100 times more than the first show cost in 1995.
"The next dream for me, or achievement, would be to become a Victoria's Secret Angel definitely. Doing the show this year was hopefully a stepping stone to that, so we'll see, fingers crossed", Shanina said.
. I hope we see her there in 2012.Just watched the show Her walk was pretty good, way better then expected. The only thing that bothered me was she blew way too many kisses, she would have been really nervous. I hope we see her there in 2012.
