Victoria’s Secret downgrading?

What is going on at the casting department for Victoria’s Secret man?! I’m going to dive right into this.

It doesn’t seem to me they are representing the brand “internationally”…even though they’ve always been kinda on the fence with that to begin with. But Tyra Banks was probably cringing in her chair after watching this year’s show. I’m seeing more and more blonds, less brunettes, and less QUALIFIED African-American models (with the exception of newly boarded Chanel Iman). I was in disbelief at some of them walking the runway,actually getting the PRIVELAGE of walking the Victoria’s Secret show, looking like a HOT MESS. There was nothing stand-out about them, they were just tall, and dark-skinned.I didn’t see beauty. I didn’t see what has defined a Victoria’s Secret model.I thought to myself,”Out of thousands of girls who submit and apply to be a Victoria’s Secret Angel every year, these are who they choose to represent the African American side of the brand??”  

NONE of them come CLOSE to Tyra. I would post pictures of them to see what I’m talking about, but not-shockingly, I’ve google-d and searched, unsuccessfully finding a still shot of any of them. Tyra, you need to make a phonecall girlfriend, and tell them to come to Miami to do a casting,they’ll find all the beautiful women of color they need:)

I also saw a couple of models’ faces I usually see on FashionTV (FTV)’s international runway shows. I’m not sure that was a wise move on Victoria Secret’s side. Those girls are SO stiff. You have to practically choke the personality out of them! They barely smile. That is NOT what Victoria’s Secret wants to bring on board and not the message they want to get across. Victoria’s Secret is all bubbly, sexy, cute, fun, spirited, appealing to men and women.They need to keep it that way and just reevaluate  the new faces they’re bringing on board…

Also, very pregnant Adriana Lima was absent at this years Christmas runway show but we know she’ll bounce back in less then a month like Alexandria Ambrosio. Which reminds me, Marissa Miller…beautiful in the face but the body is turning into a skeleton with muscles! No need to try so hard, cutback on the workouts Marissa, I’m scared for you :(

The show did not disappoint though (never does),with the costumes,themes, stage setups,performance by Black Eyed Peas, and skin skin skin. Watch the show in it’s entirety here > http://www.cbs.com/specials/victorias_secret/video/

    Hi – really great web site you have created. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to issue a comment to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically pleasing. I used to be a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor for a merchandising firm. I have always enjoyed working with computing machines and am attempting to learn code in my spare time (which there is never enough of lol).

  3. Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.

  16. lol one or two of the reviews visitors post make me giggle, again and again i wonder whether they even read the articles or reviews and items before placing a comment or whether they just look at the subject of the post and jot down the first thought that drifts into their heads. in either case, it’s relaxing to read keen commentary from time to time instead of the same exact, classic post vomit which i ordinarily discover on the internet i’m off to have fun with a few hands of zynga poker farewell

  17. I Entirely understand what your stance in this issue is. Eventhough I could disagree on a number of the smaller aspects, I think you did an awesome job outlining it. Certainly beats needing to study it by myself. Thanks.
