Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2008 - Please see first post before posting*UPDATED

[pealike]

ok abbey lee, but that is the most disgusting part. In fact, do real fashion shows really have that many pple shouting? I doubt they have the energy n courtesy to shout. That will distract the models n with his voice that loud, the audiences could be distracted too. I know VS is a trashy show, but i dunno it is that trashy to the level of ANTM. When actully the show is not a big deal, it is just for tyra and some extras who they try to make them dress like socialites. However, you can see the show is just plain n dull, but still tyra and cos shout, scream and roaring to the upmost to make the show slightly tense. That is what VS is doing now.

Again, I'm not trying to convince people I'm right ...

anyway, i've watched the show 4 times now and i STILL have no idea who this Abbey Lee character is. all of those girls, Abbey, Lindsay, Heather (?) some other one, whatever ... they're all so interchangeable. yeah, they're all pretty - but who in the hell can tell the difference between them? especially with the ridiculous PINK outfits. (*though that segment itself was very well done*).

i absolutely ADORE Doutzen -- and if KK is done with VS, then Doutzen will be my favourite Angel... she has the most gorgeous face in the world! BUT, she really needs to settle down next year. she's just too (and i can't believe i'd ever use this word to describe Doutzen Kroes) hyper. haha. walking WAY too fast for the music. and trying to do that triple-pose-twirl thing at the end of the runway that really Gisele is the only one who can somehow pull it off. Just chill out a bit next year, Doutzen. and no more arm flapping. it's unbecoming -- and unflattering to her muscular physique.

Ill have to agree 100% with pancake. I love and appreciate all contributions by CC but its really really getting annoying to read all that 'ADRIANA, ADRIANA this ADRIANA that, ADRIANA this, Adriana that...repeat it thousand times now...' stuff pushed into your face. And now to not only mention Adriana, CC , you try to mention Ales name just as often ( to make it up for Ale fans as well lol) - please, no need to. I dont wanna hate any of them because its just too much.

Its totally OKAY in Adrianas thread I guess, in her FAN forum but not everywhere all over this place !!!!! TFS is not all about Adriana. Yes we understand youre a huge awesome fan of hers. But all of us have our FAVES too and imagine if we ALL start to talk about our faves the way you do ??? It will be terrible.

And that person ' gangsta' lol is Noemi I believe...Yeah I cant get why they cast her again , she is neither pretty nor classy or elegant IMO. So Im with you on that one.

And FYI...In USA the most famous names among VS models mentioned in the news are HEIDI and MARISA. May be KK as well. But not Adriana. Period. And it has nothing to do with 'parties'.

I don't think KK is an angel anymore either, but at the same time if that was Adri, I would deny it the entire time because I wouldn't want it to be true! Just like some people find comfort in telling themselves that Izabel is going to be huge after leaving VS/they didn't renew/they kicked her out (I don't know what happened) when I think it's pretty much the end for her. My point is, if it was Adri CC, you would be devestated and you wouldn't want to believe it. So until an official statement is made or whatever that proves that she isn't an angel anymore, I don't think there should be further discusson about this because it's just not going to end. I love KK, too. Her body and personality more than her face, but I love her!

Oh my God, I had no idea that when she opened her mouth that voice would come out. I was so disappointed because she's gorgeous.

Thank you! Thanks for asking happycanadian, oh your all so nice here! Oh well I liked this years show, sure it wasn't the best but I liked it, and better than no show at all!

I liked the opening, or LOVED IT! It was so well crafted with all the angels and Adriana got her part here, so I guess all the Adriana-fans were happy about that, I mean sure Heidi got ot be first but Adriana got the special one at the end. And I loved the song they used for it.

The first segment was OK in my opinon, maybe my expectations were to high but thought it would have been bigger! But it wasn't bad! Like most of you already said Maryna was a stand out! Wow my focus got on here right away. But I think that Izabel got too little cameratime, I almost missed her! And Candice, she is so HOT!

Second segment i loved! And the music was great can't stop listening to the song! Flavia was hot, hot, hot! And Angela was great, she didn't do it over the top in my opinion! Great segment and it was hot and dangerous!

Third segment, liked it. It was ok, thought Alessandra did a great job, she looked so happy!! I liked Caroline in this she looks so sweet and natural! That's what I like about her. Miranda was nice too!

PINK!! I loved this one! Like most of you. The music the dancers the models they all fit the theme so well, how can you not like it! Loved almost all the girls in this one specially Erin, Edita, Candice, and Flavia closed it well!

The next segment was so beautiful, not trying to be sexy but were, but also just beautiful! All the girls fit well, loved Candice, I mean how can you not? Loved Caroline in this one, she looked so good and I think her walk has improved, and her smile at the end, oh I melted! Maryna also, so cocky and sexy, and Karolina was beautiful and so gracefull!

This was my second favorite, after Pink. It was classy, and sexy! I thought Selita did a great job! And Izabel looked so hot. To bad that the milliondollar bra was put were it was, it should almost have opend or closed. Carmen were hot and her dress were so cool it became almost like a big baloon, so cool. And Doutzen were hot, hot, hot!

All in all, a great show with it's flaws, like the editing and time. We want a longer show! Time just flew by! But I liked it, there you go a long review, but a positive one .

Thank you all again for lightning up my day in this dark wintertime!

Happy, it's funny you highlight stuff because you're trying to convince people you're right that she is still an angel....odd.

Ok, again I love how everyone is attacking me. I'm not sticking my opinion down anyone's throat. I'm simply saying that when the facts add up against something it's immature and ridiculous to say this and that to not face the truth. I'm a huge Adriana fan but if the facts were there like they are for KK I would be like ok...I don't like it but let's face the facts.

I love Adriana and Alessandra both of them but I'm honest enough to point out their flaws. I feel like it's ok here to lie through your teeth to make want you want to be true to be true, but when the cold hard facts are their and someone points them out that person is the mean person and attacking your model. My point is you can be a fan but when something is there that is undeniable it's not very mature or right to keep telling other people "She's still an angel, she is" when the facts don't stand up for that. So I think it's funny when someone asks about it, and someone says "She's not an angel" and then someone comes a long and says yea she's not done this this or this but she's an angel...and that's right?

I'm all about how it is not a fantasy world of how it should be or "FANtasy" like I said if the facts where they're for Adriana I'd be really really upset but I'd be sitting there saying yea she's not an angel at this point it's beyond obvious because it would be undeniable at that point.

Now not to start another discussion but Julia you just did the same thing with Marisa because she's your number 1, I'm sorry but I use to work for VS and I have tons of people I hang out with and they have people they hang out with and Marisa in no way is more famous than Adriana (and that's not from a fans perspective either) News article numbers maybe, famous again no way. But people are going to believe what they want to believe. I was also talking about inside fame with Victoria's Secret that as Adriana and Ale do have the biggest contracts and rare contracts with the company...now I'll go back to shutting my mouth cause god knows fantasy world rules!

I personally would rather believe the cold hard truth and face it then believe in my own fantasy and fall a hard fall when the facts come up to face you later...

They should take the show back to New York where it was good. L.A sucked and Miami was ok. Next year I'm hoping for NYC.

 

[CoutureChic]

Me as well but the problem persists of finding a place where they can do related events...there really isn't in NYC like a plane or a yacht that they could do. And now since they do that kind of thing, not only do they have to have a big enough venue they have to have surronding places to do the events. I honestly wouldn't be suprised if it's in Vegas in 09, because in the AAA tour the girls went to Miami, LA, Chicago, Las Vegas and NY and we all know the show has been in LA, now Miami, was in NY and Chicago is to small and not enough press or events to hold it. They seem to be touching all the places they did on that tour, and the Fountianblue hotel is opening next year in Las Vegas, and it would give them a lot of events to do as well...so my guess is it will be in Las vegas Just a guess though

 

[FRANCY ITALY]

i totally hated the type of runway. so mess

 

[Prescott]

I think unusual or extreme runways work only for Chanel...

 

[aaron95]

i think the same and this runway was more like miss universe type not THAT unusual more like boring

 

[michelabella]

I think the only big improvement to this show were the outfits. They returned to glamour, for the most part, but everything else (editing,crazy circus gestures) were on par with 07. (big disappoinment) in that aspect.

 

[aaron95]

yes and the adition of maryna was amazingly perfect lol

 

[Gypsy_Doll]

Karolina: "they call me stacey!"

 

[FRANCY ITALY]

then what is clear is that the cameras didn't do a good job, because of this kind of runway and i didn't enjoy the entrance of the girls etc

 

[Prescott]

Karolina: "they call me stacey!"

The cutest sentence of the year!
I just can't get enough of it/her...

 

[Prescott]

A friend of mine has recently asked me that what's the point of Adriana's twice appearance in the first segment. I mean she opened and also closed it.
Well, I couldn't give her a decent answer, but actually, I liked the idea and I think that turned out good...
