i posted this in the other thread. but more people are here, so i figure this must be the one where we're talking about the models and the show and such.
meh.
i definitely feel sorta "blah" about the whole show this year. the models were WAAAAAAAAAY over-the-top and it just seemed too cheesy to actually be sexy.
i think VS is missing the mark on the answer to their own question, "What Is SEXY?", because the answer, somehow, is not to be found within that show. it was all just so foolish and campy. and SO much Heidi, (who, granted, looks absolutely awesome this year).
remember the raw sexiness of Eva Herzigova ... or the sultry allure of Fernanda Tavares. or the bitchy-looking-diva bit of Gisele and Naomi ... or the "i'm so hot it hurts" attitude of Tyra? this year, it's like VS traded that ALL in for *cute* and *cheesy*.
and it's not even because of the model selection. Adriana is absolutely capable of being so sexy it's almost impossible. that's how she was at most of the previous shows. Ale is always gorgeous and looked gorgeous here too, but there was something missing. just something i can't explain maybe.
though i think it had more to do with the lighting/editing than the actual models. remember the 2003 show -- how smokin hot most of the models looked? i think it had alot to do with the lighting. and the MUSIC.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE.
MUSIC.
SUCKS SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
whomever is in charge of the music needs to be immediately fired. the shows work best when the runway bits are SEPARATE from the musical performances. then there can be a dj playing rockin music and changing it up a bit for each girl.
by FAR, 2003's show had the best music. and this year's is easily the worst.
