That's sad for Kate. I prefer her over Josephine any day.

But given she barely spoke a word English she couldn't do any press events.

Anyway, I only like Stella and Romee now that she's gone.

^ Martha Hunt and Lais Ribiero.

Right. Yes, I always forget about Martha. I think she's safe though, because she does seem to have a bit of a strong fanbase.

Lais is gonna be the next one to get cut, I think. She just seems out of place with the rest of them. Like she's from a different era or something.

 

[Gina Fish]

Don't get why they're cutting Jac & Kate but keeping Sarah and Taylor. Who are pretty much identical.

Stella and Lais both needed to go way before them as well.

 

[heyitsrachelle]

They're hardcore pushing Taylor; they're probably grooming her to be their next top girl. I doubt they're going to ever going to cut her.

 

[petit fours]

Is there room for another Angel? Two left and one came in...

 

[AtticusFinch]

I still see Kate and Jac as Angels on the website and mobile but perhaps because it's the international site?

Sara and Taylor are their next superstars. Also, teenagers love the whole friendship thing between famous people and the two are super close so that's a win-win situation for them (they name they Saylor). It might sound ridiculous but that's how it works nowadays (I guess we can blame Taylor Swift and her squad)

If you get rid of Stella, Romee, Martha, and Lais and keep Taylor/Sara/Jasmine/Josephine/Elsa that's actually not a bad line up with Candice and Behati leading the pack. Lily A still adds nothing in my opinion and sadly Ale and Adriana just look out of place (not because they look old but because they remind me of another era). But apparently those two just signed on for another year.

I think before VS used to take it's time to really evaluate whether a model had enough popularity to do well with the brand under the angel title. I mean Oluchi was given a lot of spotlight with events and the Very Sexy book, but she never made it. Same with Ana BB. Nowadays, VS is quick to call any model who has walked a single show an angel and then drop them right away. It just devalues the position, although I guess an angel contract pays a lot less nowadays.

 

[Littleathquakes]

Wow happy for Adri and Ale. Goes to show VS loves them. I really thought last year's show was their swan song.

 

[marsnoop2]

I thought the 2014 show would be their last with the dual FB situation, but I would have been upset if last year was their last because they got no recognition. I mean these girls have been with the company for over 15 years, they deserve a big sendoff when the time comes. Perhaps both of them closing the show?

 

[CommanderTMugler]

Ugh it's sad Kate had to go, she's stunning, I don't think she was given a proper chance to really prove herself.

Taylor, Sarah, Jasmine, Elsa and Romee can stay, they've been doing great all year.

Martha is just there now as well as Lais, they really wouldn't be missed and they did a decent amount of work before being signed, it seems like the Angel title was just a given to them after working so long.

Stella is just there but they seem to use her like crazy during commercials.

Personally, Lily and Behati can go just because they really don't bring much to the brand anymore, Candice can stay a bit longer. Alessandra and Adriana can leave too, but if they did sign in another year, well good for them.

Yes, it was sad to see these two veterans get pushed aside for the newer girls. A proper send off would be to give these two the best outfits/wings and the attention they deserve.

 

[materialgrrl]

In my opinion, Stella and Martha can go.
Behati, Alessandra and Lily A too, I'm tired of them.
Please NO Vita.

Vs can keep Adriana, Candice, Elsa, Romee, Jo, Jas, Sara, Laís and Taylor.

 

[KateTheGreatest]

The good thing about Josephine becoming an angel only now is that at least now she gets more attention. Before she would've just shared the spotlight.

When they singed on 10 angels last year, did they get a contract for 1 year? Or how long?

 

[heyitsrachelle]

Most of them got one year contracts but Elsa got a three year one apparently.

 

[squilliam]

It's a shame that VS is now apparently catering to mostly teens, I know Pink is for younger girls but the mainline is for grown women, no? I guess teens are the ones buying the most now. All these identical blonde girls like Taylor are so boring, where did the sexy grown up exotic girls go? It seems like Taylor Swift is controlling the VS line up

 

[Littleathquakes]

Unfortunately for us, Pink is the cash cow so it rules VS's business now. If I have to see another Pink hoodie on some 40 year old lady...

How is Taylor Swift controlling the VS line up...? Her friends in the line up are Martha and Lily, and they both were working with VS long before she got involved.

 

[KateTheGreatest]

Most of them got one year contracts but Elsa got a three year one apparently.

Thank you, I thought so but I wasn't sure.

Between Candice, Romee, Stella, Martha and (maybe?) Kate, there are just too many blondes.
I really want to see more exoctic models, a little more variety.
Stella and Martha can definitely go imo.

Also I'm excited to see Swim special, I watched it last year and it was cool. Way better than the fashion show.

 

[wangster]

Really sad to see Jac leave. I mean it was quite obvious already, she didn't participate in the Swim Special and didn't shoot anything else for them anymore. Nevertheless I would have loved to see her last longer and get more exposure. But I guess she wasn't popular enough for them. Nowadays it's all about social media activity and instagram followers *sigh*

Happy to hear about Josephine though. They just had to make her an angel sooner or later. I really wonder why it took them so long though, maybe she really was bounded to another contract before?

I'm also hearing a few rumors about Vita becoming an angel as well. Do you think this is valid? I see Ed's a fan of her and she's been doing the swim special ...
