^ maybe we should write them a letter and tell them how to do the show Kind Regards, the visitors of the VSFS-thread haha...

 

[Trista]

As far as models walking while pregnant, I remember seeing pictures of Caroline Ribero doing some shows in Brazil (I think) and she was very far along-I'd say at least 7 months pregnant.

Going back to the discussion on the portion of the show for just the Angels/key VS models, it would be good to have all of them in something very extravagant. It could be something like in 2001, where all of the wings were kept to one portion of the show. It could be more pieces with diamonds/gemstones-I know Heidi had a diamond/other stone piece that rivaled the MDB as far as cost goes. How about a bustier/garters that are completely Swarovski-encrusted? Or best yet, it could be an actual "Angels" thing, where they are all wearing white and have some sort of wings.

Some models do look prettier when they are pregnant.. Heidi is a good example, but as for VSFS there won't be a model pregnant when the show will take place in November so we might as well drop that subject..

As for the discussion.. Trista you should really apply for a job at the VSFS

I can't, I am a former LB employee who left the company on not-so-great terms so I can never work for another LB affiliate.

As for the pregnancy, though, there are three ways you could look at VS: The first is the fashion, so you want to get real fashion models in, ie the Natasha Polys and Lara Stones of the world. The second is the sort of cheesecake, so you get the campiness. But the third is that the show is a great publicity vehicle for VS, and thus the whole maternity thing? That may be something that could be semi-profitable for them. There are a lot of men who find pregnant women sexy anyways-I'm not saying this to make them walk, but it's just a thought. That could actually be a good market-maternity/pregnancy lingerie-I know they have some bras and such for women who are nursing and if you combine what the new moms need with the VS technology and design, it could be very good and it could cement VS for many as the one-stop lingerie shop, to the point where they can get all their lingerie needs from teenage years (PINK) on up til older age. Just my $.02

Yes bring back the winged segment! I loved that in the 2001 show.

Too bad Trista, you have excellent ideas!

For the maternity line.. that's also a great idea.. if you look at that way!
But we were talking about something else so I kinda missunderstood sorry
To me it's fine if they are pregnant and wearing the maternity line, but I don't want to see them on the runway when they just gave birth and they are not in shape! And that's what we were talking about earlier.. but I think the maternity line is very good.. not only the sexy-line, or the more childish/younger line (PINK) but also for moms as in a maternity line..

 

[vivaglam]

When I used to work for VS, a lot of pregnant women had asked me if they had a maternity line. Pregnant women want to feel sexy too! I think that it's something that VS should definitely consider in the future.

 

[HighMaintenance]

^ exactly!!! there is no sexy-line for pregnant women..

Savanna! You worked for VS?! Didn't know that.

Trista you got some good ideas too bad about LB.

When it comes to wings this year I want:

Alessandra
Miranda
Doutzen
Marisa (In her 8 years with VS she's only worn 1 pair!)

Behati
Rosie
Isabeli
Flávia
Candice
Ana BB

If they are back this year (hope so

Andi Muise
Trentini
Stam
Poly

I'm sure there is more I just can't think right now!

 

[nijuyanah]

I'd really like to see Marloes Horst in the show

 

[Juliax]

Um when did Marisa wear angel wings, tanii ?? I dont remember that at all.

 

[HighMaintenance]

Marisa is the only Angel who didn't wear any Angel wings yet..

Ale: for the last time in 2008 (Glamour Goddess)
Adriana: last time in 2008 (black tie holiday)
Miranda: last time in 2008 (Ballet de fleurs)
Heidi: last time in 2008 (Black Tie holiday)
Doutzen: if I'm not mistaken.. did she wore them in 2006? In the PINK section? If not.. Doutzen never got the wings either
Marisa: ?? uhm never?

And your list is great Tanii but I can think Emanuela de Paula will be there for sure.. and after her launch I think they will cast Lindsay Ellingson as well..

 

[Juliax]

I am well aware of that, HM, thats why I was asking tanii when she thinks Marisa wore any. Because Marisa didnt even get to wear them for VS catalog pictures let alone the show. Sad. Its long time overdue.

And yes Doutzen wore angel wings already.

 

[vivaglam]

Yeah, I worked for them and if it weren't for the free stuff, exclusive pictures and news, I wouldn't have done it. It was horrible! I was about to work for them again here in NY at the 34th street store and I had a moment where I though 'No, I can't do this to myself'. That's how awful it is! Ask anyone who works there or has worked there before and 9 times out of 10 they will say that hate/hated it.

Well, let's see if she ever get to wear the Angel Wings..

VS-angels usually get a 3-year contract right??

 

[vivaglam]

Yes, some of them get 2 or 3 to start off with like Izabel and Selita only had 3, I think. I think Adriana and Heidi are the only ones to sign for 5, but I don't think Heidi signed for 5 this time around. We'll see what happens.

 

[HighMaintenance]

^ I heard Ale also signed for 5? But anyway..
That means that Marisa & Miranda's contract will expire next year.. and if Heidi also signed for only 3 years..it expires next year as well...

 

[vivaglam]

Maybe Ale has? It could be her first time signing for 5 because I never heard about it before. I only really know about Adriana and Heidi because I think they renewed at the same time.

 

[kito09]

I hope they renew Mirandas contract!

 

[HighMaintenance]

If we're correct 3 contracts will expire next year.
Rumor has been that Emanuela de Paula already signed and they put Candice a lot in the spotlight lately. (a lot of people thought she was in the running for next Angel, until heavy rumors started that Emanuela already signed).

What I'm thinking.. Heidi will finally retire.. Emanuela will be introduced and if they don't contract a new Angel they will renew both Marisa & Miranda's contract.. what do you think?
