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

[ptistin]

Ana chose to do Loreal instead is the real reason, I guess Loreal offered more money for the time being and of course she chose them, but then again it didn't bring her the fame VS would have.....so wish she chose vs instead! (this is what I have read and heard, don't know 100%)

hope she will be there!

i translated and posted the interview on bellazon where she said she choose L'oreal instead VS. so it's 100% accurate Michella

 

[WerbowyStegner]

[aaron95]

I always thought it was because of the J.Lo lingerie job that Ana rejected VS. I remember it was back in 2004, right around the time VS also selected Alessandra, possibly because Ana rejected them.

Well also keep in mind, Ana isn't going to voluntarily say "Hey VS got mad and said I broke contact and they don't wish to work with me anymore" She's going to say what she feels makes her looks better, and as much as I like Ana...I have a very very hard time beliving her Loreal story, with the money. Very hard time.

i guess you guys aren't believing on me so i'll post the interview
i don't know why she couldn't have both contracs. i guess VS didn't want her to have both. but she chose L'oreal because the money was better.

[FONT=&quot]PQP:A lot of people are questioning why aren’t you an angel even thought you’ve been in their ads, catalogs and fashion shows. Was it your option or you weren’t invited?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Ana: It was my option. In that time I had to choose between L’OREAL and VS but L’Oreal’s offer was better[/FONT]

the original for portuguese speakers

Pqpmag: Muitas pessoas questionam o fato de você não ser uma das chamadas angels da grife de lingerie Victoria's Secret, mesmo já tendo feito campanhas, catálogos e desfiles. Essa foi uma opção sua ou o convite para ser uma das modelos principais da marca nunca foi feito?
[FONT=&quot]
Ana Beatriz Barros: Foi minha. Na época, eu estava entre a L'Oreal e a Victória's Secret, mas a oferta da L'Oreal foi melhor na época.[/FONT]

anyway hopefully she will be in the show this year

edit: at CC: Ana would not be stupid to lie like that in an interview. it would look to bad for her future conections. believe 100% on her word

 

[smartarse]

perhaps, VS could afford to lose Ana, than that of Doutzen, that's why VS gave her an ultimatum?

 

[CoutureChic]

I don't know...I just don't. I don't believe L'oreal as a company would offer her a better contract than an angel contract. Why do I believe this? Because of my experience with Adriana, who works for Maybelle and Victoria's secret and has for years, Maybelline is a branch off of Loreal and there is no denying that Adriana is a bigger model than Ana and they didn't offer her a bigger contract than her vs contract. So I have a hard time L'oreal would do that to someone like Ana. Also another thing that doesn't help her story is saying that she couldn't have both....again look at Adriana she's their biggest model and she's had dual contracts since 2003...again just my opinion.

There have been reports about the JLo thing and I personally believe them, and I know most models would do what she did to save face. But to go with a bit of common sense and facts that the facts don't add up to what she says but that's just my opinion.

CC i have a hard time to believe that Ana needs to save her face. LMAO! she's a millionaire model and without VS angel contract. besides as i said liers look bad! maybe back them VS wanted a girl who did everything including make up... or you know that VS offers big money contracs but that also means a lot days of work ( Ale's first contract were 120 days a year!) . And L'orel offers also big money but not with so many working days. have you thought about that?

 

[Simera]

On the topic of models being thought to be angels, was Oluchi really an angel or is her website's info false?

Do you even know what I mean by save face?
In the modeling world, models lie all the time as do agents...heck just look at everyone's measurements that's a small one but it's a lie if you're going to get technical. Also VS does separate contracts...adding makeup on...not together, so your idea of that is out the window. Also I'm well informed how much the angels work, most of the time it's more than 120 days. I know that Loreal offers money, but I'm sorry I refuse to believe that they were going to offer her a bigger contract than VS. I also have a hard time she would be turning it down when she was so eager to sign a spokesmodel contract before, I'm just one of those that believes she broke contract. To me the facts and common sense add up against the other of what she says.

As for Oluchi...no she was never a contracted Angel.

of course i know what you meant. english is not my first language but i'm not stupid. lie about measurements and little things like that is one thing. but lie on interviews about contracts with big brands is huge! i don't know what happend but i will believe in Ana. and i'll not argue with you anymore because you are a strong minded person and even if God showed up in this forum to tell you Ana is saying the truth you wouldn't belive on him. but if Adriana did it you would believe on her

anyway does anybody knows if Irina went to casting? i would love to see her on the show

 

[katherine]

Irina who?

 

[kito09]

^ Irina Shriek. Hmm I want to know to, and nanda I completly agree with you! why would ana lie about something like that!

 

[ptistin]

Irina Sheik! i would love to see her but i doubt they are going to use her on the show. but i have a little bit of hope

 

[CoutureChic]

Because it's the modeling world...and does someone really say in interviews I did something wrong. I'm sure there are people who would agree with me.

Anyway, I'm going to post this pic of KK.

OMG, Nanda! LMFAOOOOOO!!!!

 

[Mchunu]

Irina Sheik would be AWESOME in VS! she's soooooo exotic and gorge!
now what's all this about Ana Beatriz and L'Oreal and VS and J.Lo? i got lost somewhere? but that post by nanda made me LMFAO!

 

[CoutureChic]

Actually no I would believe God lol. And if Adriana showed up to tell me that Ana was telling the truth I wouldn't believe Adriana either, even as much as I adore Adriana. Trust me, lies get told left and right in the modeling industry and I do not believe a model as unknown as Ana would be getting a multi million dollar contract bigger than VS to her at the convient time that she broke contract with VS. I truly believe she did it to save face. My opinon comes from loving and watching models and fashion for almost 7 plus years, and I know plenty of actors, actresses, models, direcotrs, fashion editors, magazines and etc lie to make things look good for them. They aren't going to volenteer info that will make her or the company look bad, that would kill her career. To me the facts add up that she was sent packing from VS, if she had turned down a contract like she said she wouldn't have been totally shunned from the catalog like she was for so long, and there are plenty other models who were offered angel contracts and turned it down and are still mainstream faces in the vs catalog.

But anway....KK no opion and a tad bit scared. Glad to see Dri is looking like she did in 03 and can't wait to see Ale.
Has there been any word on Rhianne?

Mchunu<3 read all my past posts and you will understand what's going on. you can choose to believe on Ana or not.
