Like VS had big plans to use her a lot in this years show? I know you have sources that say that Adriana is going to be used for this and that and huge things are in store, but none of it seems to have actually happened.
Adriana didn't even promote the fantasy bra by herself, she was always with someone else because her speaking skills are just not that up to par. She's gorgeous, but she's best when she just does the sexy thing instead of trying to be fun and full of energy in such an obvious way. I watched the intro to the 2008 show a few days ago and she had me transfixed until she stepped out on the runway and started pointing... it just killed the whole moment.
The thing is dear, she did do a lot, and taped a LOT of pre-taped stuff, and CBS decided not to use it along with tons of other Angels material. I actually was speaking with someone who works for Madoff Productions (does a LOT of editing for VS, not CBS) and he said that each Angel...and Adriana did a lot of hosting, and each angel had their own things..and CBS didn't use it. So he doesn't know what happened, but it was more CBS's call not VS. Heck CBS even added angels in the intro that aren't angels...and weren't even "new faces" they really don't know what they're doing.
As for speaking skills, and promoting...I wouldn't be saying that...if they were that worried about it, they wouldn't have sent her on her own tour last year, did most of the public signings, hosted the What is Sexy Special, did tons and tons and tons of radio and tv interviews last year...VS isn't concerned about her speaking skills at all.
I've had 6-10 people confirm all the her comeback stuff next year, and I would not be surprised if the bra is part of that at all. With Miranda not getting it already (and her fame with Orlando, would have caused her to receive it already, it doesn't look good) Doutzen I'd say would be the other girl in the running, if she doesn't loose her contract.
As for the waving and pointing (that ALL the models do now) we can criticize all we want, but the general public loves it. What's the one thing that most of the public complains about when it comes to models? "Why don't they smile or have fun?" well if you sit most people down and they watch the 2003 shows where the girls aren't pointing, waving arms or anything they get bored...while all of us may hate it...the public finds it entertaining, which is why I think VS makes them do it. Plus the girls love doing it, from everything that's said backstage.
But I agree, I'd like to see the angels back in the spotlight, and the music guest moved back into their own section and not on the runway, like 03 and before was. MUCH BETTER
