well... i suppose it's time to chime in on this convo, with
my feelings about this latest list of models.
i've got the list separated into the models that i am really looking forward to, the models who i wish weren't there, and the models i'd ideally switch them for.
word.
1
Karolina -perfect blonde bombshell. fantastic walk. the one who has the most runway presence AND glamazon looks now that Gisele is gone.
2
Adriana - Adriana+VS=perfect. and she's looking fantastic! *hopefully she stops with the terrible facial expressions*
3
Alessandra - Great for VS. she's got a playful sexiness.
4
Izabel - meh. nothing spectacular, but she's got a great butt.
5
Heidi - a real
woman, with a curvy, fabulous bod! a VS legend!
6
Selita - i just love Selita. i can't wait to see her!
7
Marisa Miller - normally she gets on my nerves, but lately i've sorta developed a thing for her. an obscenely incredible body. can't wait to see her.
8
Miranda Kerr - awesome body and good energy, great for VS (*so says Taben, and so concurs moi!*)
9
Noemie Lenoir - SOOOOOOOO happy to see her! gorgeous, exotic beauty!!
10
Jessica White - just a knockout babe! fantastic body, gorgeous face and skin. she's like the black Barbie. a long overdue addition to the VS lineup.
11
Mini Anden - she's always been awesome on the runway. brings a more mature sex appeal. really like her!
12
Ana B - not my favourite, but she's great always.
13
Isabeli - i think Isabeli is SO beautiful, and she's got a rockin bod, but she really never seems to have much presence for me on the runway.
14
Natasha - if she put on some weight, she'd be a sex goddess. she's got a similar raw sexiness a la Eva H. and her walk is perfection. unfortunately, her protruding bones and 70-year-old-lookin'-butt are decidedly
not. nonetheless, i always look forward to seeing her. she rocked at VS last year.
15
Andi Muise - really pretty. very subtle sex appeal. great bod!
... now as for the rest, i'd gladly switch them
ALL in for someone different. so first is who the list has, and then in
bold is who i'd replace them with.
16 Jessica Stam - blah! bad face, too young looking, terrible boyish body. NOT right for VS.
16 - Raquel - who's got a wicked toned bod, a gorgeous, elegant face. and is always killer on the VS runway.
17 Elise C - boo. she does absolutely nothing for me. like a brutish Trish Goff or something.
17 - Doutzen - honestly, how is she NOT here?? she's the next big commercial supermodel. she's beyond drop-dead-staggeringly-gorgeous. she IS perfect for VS.
18 Hana - sure, she was better last year than i expected, but she still is just too looooooooong and lanky for VS. she reminds me of Jack Skellington or something. *eeee*
18 - Lily Cole - every once in a while, VS does the whole "odd model" thing. well, Lily is certainly a unique looking gal...but she's also blessed with one of the best bodies in the business and i think she'd make an awesome addition. even just for curiosity's sake.
19 Morgane - just too awkward. reminds me of a bobble-head toy.
19 - Bianca - i thought someone had already confirmed her. she is basically sex on 2 legs. and if she's had a kid, i'm sure her body's curves have benefited from it.
20 Michaela K - who? (*again, concur with Taben*)
20 - Lara Stone - she's got a dirty, sultry sex appeal and 2 huge breasts. period.
21 Rosie - boring and too young looking.
21 - Daria Werbowy - say what you will, but she's got the
it factor. Daria's also in great shape and has an organic beauty that is accessible, but also very unusual. i'd LOVE to see her finally walk for VS. (also .. the BOOBS!)
22 Julia S - blah! just more blah! wonderful body, but always just so awkward with her poses at the end of the runway. i like her fine, but i'd rather someone else.
22 - Flavia - i simply cannot understand why she isn't here. she has one of the best bodies, an awesome walk, beautiful face, and a young, fresh sexiness.
23 Inguna - meh. she never impressed me before. i don't dislike her, but she doesn't make me scream "WOW!!"
23 - Emanuela - THIS girl should be a superstar. fabulous skin, commercial appeal, flawless body, exotic looks. she's the definition of beautiful. stunning! i was perhaps most excited to see her and now so disappointed!
24 Sabrina J/Raquel (it was unclear) - if it's Raquel, great. if it's Sabrina then i won't really mind, cause she seems quite beautiful and very voluptuous. but i'd still prefer,
24 - Carmen Kass - one of the best walks ever. HOT body, amazing legs! always awesome on the VS show. confident sexy!
25 Marija V - beautiful girl. quite sexy. but i'd still put someone else on here instead.
25 - Gianne Albertoni - i cannot for the life of me understand why her career didn't explode the same way that Adriana's or Alessandra's did. she is a classic beauty with a figure to die for and perfect skin. she's sexy to no end. gah!
26 Erin Wasson - eww.
26 - Naomi Campbell - because she brings a runway presence that is matched by NO. ONE. ELSE. and still has a VS-worthy body at age 37. AND she's an original Supermodel and we could use some more real women up in here!
27 Angela Lindvall - i really like Angela. she's awesome. but i'd replace her with:
27 - Eva Herzigova - just had a baby. candid bikini photos show that her body hasn't looked this good in years and years. she is the absolute epitome of sex appeal to me. she's an icon, a modeling legend, and she brings CLASS and GLAMOUR to the show in a way that none of the 20-somethings can.
