^Haha, not enough PS! Anyway, according to thebaldesttruth.blogspot.com Marisa is presenting some guy on the Chicago Bulls with an award on Thursday. I'm guessing after her signing. I would copy and paste the article, but my phone is being dumb.

How is everything with the model search? is it over already? now what?

 

[vivaglam]

No, it's not over yet. I think they're doing Chicago today or did it yesterday. I'm not sure. Then all the girls move to New York and it starts.

 

[HighMaintenance]

ooh okay! thanks

Even the first FB looks (from what I can see) more expensive than Marisa's.

Only the 1996 and 2004 Fantasy Bras have had buyer(s).

^ Really? Are you sure? I thought more would have been sold

How is the 1997 one $3 million? You only see the diamonds on the trim. But the sad part is it still looks better than Marisa's bra.

I think I figured out why Marisa's bra bothers me so much: it reminds me of a bug's eyes. I'll spare everyone a picture comparison though. The shape is too big. Obviously they needed it to "accomodate" her. Which is why it should've went to someone else.

I read it in the WSJ a few weeks ago

Actually Selita's would be the cheapest. Selita's whole set, the Bra, the panty, the hair pin, and the garter all together totaled 4.5, so her's would probably be the cheapest. As for how the 1997 once could be three million, great quality of diamonds...and the big one in the middle as well. Marisa's bra, is very cheap...the bra's diamonds with as many as their are, aren't the best quality because of how many are their and how little it totals with that many diamonds and the middle diamond as well..that middle diamond itself is worth probably 2 million dollars, because in comparison that's at least what the others cost (the big diamonds in the other bras) so that leaves only 1 million to do the whole bra for her, over pretty large cups, so I'd say this bra may not be the cheapest, but it's defiantly not the same quality as the others

I think the cost of the bra had gotten out of hand, there must be more that VS can do with their marketing money than making a $10+ million bra that will most likely go in a display case at VS headquarters when the campaign ends. The problem with Marisa's bra is that it looked cheap period, not just less expensive than the other bras. It looks like someone went to a VS store at the local mall, and bought a bra based on their best guess of Marissa's bra size, then pulled out a glue gun and pasted on a string of sparklies (could be diamonds, cubic zirconium, glass, whatever). The worst thing is the fit of the bra and, it does not flatter Marissa's umm assets.

^i agree with everything you said. they should start spending their money on someyhing better. this bra thing already got old, it doens't cacth the media attention like it used to be. maybe they should use the money to hire better designers for the runway collection... just saying

 

[EvanJ2010]

I think the 2004 bra was the only one that really caught my eye. This years bra is a snooze fest.
