Victoria's Secret Etc, Etc (PLEASE READ POST #1 BEFORE POSTING)

I think the appealing aspects are the chance at fame and a steady paycheck every month, along with seeing the same team all the time. Must be comforting for models. (This obviously extends to beauty contracts too)

But yeah, it's definitely not a huge thing anymore. Social media kind of ruined the mystery of it for me.

Confirmed: This year's show will again be in New York. (not London)

Kate Grigorieva posted about it on her story and VSFSUpdates on IG got inside scoop/confirmation as well that the show will be held in NY and castings will (RUMOR) be held in the first week of September.


Ed Razek commented on Maggie Laine's IG: "You crushed Shanghai @maggievlaine Let's do this!!! @vsfs2018"

Since these pictures came out, rumors are spreading that Lily may be pregnant with her second child:


EDIT: Lily officially confirmed that she is pregnant on August 19th, 2018. She will probably not be walking the show this year.

Does anyone have any scans of the book, "Backstage Secrets" by Russell James?

Also does anyone know what happened to Gavin Bond? He would always shoot the angels backstage and get some great shots and publish them on some GQ edition.

Lily is pregnant!

is Grace Elizabeth technically an angel, or just the PINK spokesmodel?

Just PINK Spokesmodel, for now (her contract is still with PINK) but she’s definitely on track to becoming an Angel.

Castings are coming up... do we have any predictions on new faces walking in the show? My money is on Yasmin Wijnaldum.

 

[Armani]

^ As much as I don’t personally want to see her walk the show, chances are Sadie Newman, who’s Sara’s best friend, will be casted.

The most obvious non-contracted model walking this year’s show is Alexina. Ed LOVES her, and since last year has had a very, very steady stream of VS work.

All the Instagram and Bellazon VS fans want Robin Holzken to walk this year’s show. She works for VS very often as well, but her walk isn’t the best in my opinion...

 

[Valentine27]

Yasmin Wijnaldum would be great!
I'm also hoping for Robin Holzken. I remember her walk for the Etam lingerie show, it was not very good indeed. Maybe she's improved since then. She's just so stunning. I'd be curious to see her on the VS runway. Can't wait for the castings to start!

really can't call this a fashion show...
it's just girls walking around in underwear...
it's worse than the miss America pageant...
it should be banned, imho...

I find the whole thing incredibly offensive...

Just out of curiosity, why do you find it offensive?
