Victoria's Secret held a nation-wide model search, and the results are in: ten bodacious ladies are currently competing for America's...heart and soul.
NY Magazine's daily blog, The Cut, reports that these young women will be in "Angel Bootcamp". This is a magical and inspiring place, in which model-hopefuls are sure to participate in "a series of challenges where the contestants will show their photogenic qualities, prove their abilities as a spokesmodel, show off their red carpet star quality and radiate charisma while walking a runway in lingerie."
I'm not sure how one radiates charisma while strutting down a runway in underwear, but I believe that Victoria's Secret will find a way. I really hope they broadcast the interview segment!
I hate to beat up on these girls. Of course, they are lovely women. But I have some difficulty hearing young Kylie, an Angel Aspirant, giggle into a microphone, stating, "I should be the next Victoria Secret Runway Angel [giggle] because I could be out there, I'll bring a sexiness to the runway, a flirtiness, and a fun personality..."
I'm curious to know what she thinks Giselle, Heidi, and Adriana brought to the VS Runway. Advancements in sociopolitical theory?

ReplyDeleteI feel like the whole "search for the next big model" (not big in the literal size sense CLEARLY) is so overdone. Don't get me wrong, I loved top model and I'll admit I was addicted at one point but there are too many similar shows out there feeding into the "I wanna be a super skinny super model one day" culture that the younger generation just feasts on.
If what it takes to be a Victoria Secret Runway Angel is a flirty and fun personality [giggle] and being sexy when walking [giggle] hell I could put on a show and be one too! But knowing me, I will be watching this show with a spoon in one hand and a pint of ben&jerrys in the other
