no it was the janet jackson fiasco... prude america was like "omg we saw BOOBS, poor kids never saw them before and will be hurt for the rest of their lives" and so a lingerie show wasn't possible without too much contra.

That's a question I've been meaning to ask for a long time... I have a feeling that CC knows the answer...

Edit:Really? What exactly was that?

Well, Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson performed at the Superbowl opening (or sth like that, dunno) and the costume of JJs ripped up and her pierced nipple/boob showed LIVE on TV.
Such a scandal :rolleyes: :lol: And rumour has it that there was so much criticism about sexual content on TV that a lingerie show couldn't be done without a huge outrage from conservative idiots :ninja:


that's why they did a "safe" tour instead.

Oh, I see... I have heard about this - obviously fake - accident but I didn't know that it had an impact on the show. And what a giant one...
I have to say I'm pissed. Because of an amatour and ridiculos thing a whole (VS!) show was cancelled. It is insane. (even though I understand the reasons/circumstances) Just imagine the work they put in the preparation of the show and all of a sudden that JJ thing happens and ruins everything.

But thanks for letting me know, rouge red!

You're welcome. Of course I cannot guarantee how far the rumor is the truth, but that's what I know :flower:

I was rather pissed that such a tiny thing was made so huge. I mean it's just a breast :lol: But well, I guess that's America the way I absolutely dislike it ^^
 
Wow had no idea that was the case, well that's fascinating. But so I guess it would be possible with a tour and a show then? Unless Janet feels like showing another breast!
 
A tour would be a great opportunity for the girls. It would let Adriana step into the mama angel position (provided Heidi didn't step in the way...again) and Alessandra to be second in command, and Marisa as follows. This is really the best known group of Angels they have had since 2004. Adriana, and Alessandra are self explanatory, Marisa is as well and Miranda is known to most everyone as Orlando's girlfriend, and the two Doutzen and Emanuela would get great exposure even though they're not well known.
That is exactly how it was set up in 2004 with the tour, Tyra and Heidi were the ring leaders because they were the most famous and the most experienced. Gisele was in the middle, really experienced but not that well known to the general public, and Ale and Adriana at the time were unknowns. But the tour really got them recognized all the time.

As for the people who would miss the show because of their model in it...I honestly have no sympathy for. Why? Well because the regular runway models that participate in the show most of the time have plenty of eds, ads, and runway shows during the course of the year for their fans to live on. Fans of the angels have a few eds, a few ads, new vs pics and a launch here and there, so we miss out on a lot. So honestly a tour would be great again, the cute outfits, the several places they could go. It would be fantastic.

As for doing a show and a tour, I don't see that happening, it's a waste of money and nothing would really come out of it. The designers would have to design every outfit for the tour for every girl (like before) and then plus all the fashion show outfits....Besides taking a break from the show would let them make it better, and possibly get better ratings. The 2005 show got better ratings because in 2004 there was no show...taking a break sometimes does make things better.

Yeah I guess you're right CC, thanks for all the info.
I mean a break would probably be good for them, but I would miss the show! I mean it sure is something I look forward to each year! But I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens! :)
 
Any HQ of the models faces? I would like to see the make-up. And yes I searched, didn't find any...
 
That's all I've got...




(I don't remember the source, it's been a long time ... sorry)
 
You're welcome! :)

Btw, Heidi looks so old! (Well, actually she is old... ^^ )
 
She's older than the others I guess... What's the ages of the other angels?
 
Of course she is but it sounded like she was a granny lol which she is not.Im not a Heidi fan at all, far from it in fact, but she does look amazing for her age.

Other angels, well I know that Marisa is 30yo, Alessandra is 27, Adriana is 27 as well, Miranda is 25 yo...Doutzen is 24 yo...

Haha well no she sure is no granny:p
Had no idea Doutzen was younger than Miranda, thought the other way around^_^
 
Well she is not THAT old, come on, being 35 IS OLD ? lol
That's one thing when you're 35 and when you look over 40 is another... Heidi has done enough work I think, and it would be time to retire from VS. Just like Tyra did.

Does anyone know anything about Heidi's contract with VS? I'm curious how many years she's still got...

But don't get me wrong. I don't hate Heidi, I simply don't like her being in VSFS. I enjoy seeing her in Project Runway, though...
