I have to say, I never cared for Mulder or Pestova - and was mostly indifferent to the others (but, blimey, Heidi was gorgeous back then). Helena Christensen was my "Angel" of the day really ( ), although I was so massively blissed-up with my ex at that time that I barely even registered anybody else!!!

^Yes , that's what I was meaning by the shift - in terms of 'class' and demographic. There's definitely been a shift "youthwards", but I suppose that's indicative of such things in general..? Although I'm far more enamoured of Behati than this 'vintage crop', I agree some element of elegance and lack-of-attainability has been lost since then (it's amazing to think, given our perception of them now, that either Heidi or Tyra could be accused of 'elegance'! ).

I believe Laetitia Casta is still a frequent botherer of European cinema screens though, in reference to "the others kind of settled down more quietly". I would imagine she remains a bigger star than the others there?

I deeply apologize for the unicorn boom on your thread Baron

erm. Ok, gonna make it for ya

LOVE FOREVER!

^I suppose it depends on who you find attractive as an "Angel" to begin with... I mean, not being from the US, I was blissfully unaware of the significance of that title until I joined here! Like most others I just saw the show and was vaguely aware of the catalogue, and didn't know a hierarchy existed within. Indeed, until Behati became a quasi-"Angel" in 2008, there was no correlation between who I found most attractive at the VSFS and who VS themselves wanted me to like!

I'd seen the 2001 show on FTV, which first piqued my interest into VS - and the next time I saw it was 2003, in which I liked Ana Beatriz Barros the best. Come 2005 and I was still unaware of any great division between the "Angels" and the rest - barring the titles the main girls weren't really referred to as such (aside from opening/closing I guess - and there were still massive discrepancies in that). It was only since 2006 that VS have pushed their agenda onto the show itself (like I said, not being in the US I wasn't privy to commercials or other public appearances, or even the 2004 "Angels Across America" tour).

So, the 2005 group were OK in my eyes. I disliked the later additions of Izabel Goulart (my notorious model 'blind-spot' ), the unimaginative and basic choice of Marisa Miller, and the just plain unattractive Selita more - whilst I blow hot and cold with Doutzen Kroes and, although I quite like Miranda Kerr, she hardly interests me. Weirdly, though I agree with your points, in Behati, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Chanel Iman I have the highest percentage of interest in "Angels" than I've ever had!

For me - in the shows I've watched proper since 2003 - this was what the Baronometer registered:

2003: Ana Beatriz Barros, Mini Anden, Carmen Kass

2005: Natasha Poly, Inguna Butane, Ana Beatriz Barros, Doutzen Kroes

2006: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Natasha Poly, Flavia de Oliveira, Morgane Dubled

2007: Candice Swanepoel, Inguna Butane, Behati Prinsloo

2008: Behati Prinsloo, Inguna Butane, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Flavia de Oliveira, Morgane Dubled

2009: Behati Prinsloo, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Edita Vilkeviciute, Miranda Kerr, Chanel Iman

2010: Behati Prinsloo, Magdalena Frackowiak, Gracie Carvalho, Isabeli Fontana, Chanel Iman

There's some science-FACT for you!!!

Hey "BARON".....here u go.

I think Marisa was one of their best spokes model they ever had

What is this ""Monange Dream Fashion Tour"? There seems to be two shows- a 2010 and a 2011. It's a VS type thing but with less cheese! I know very little about it!

Given the choice (and within the realms of possibility) I'd have Behati, Magdalena, Rosie, Chanel, Marloes and Cintia as my "Angels" and I'd be right - because it's my choice! I couldn't care less for most of the recent, and current, line-ups - and actively dislike one or two...

ALOHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB HAPPY FRIDAY TO YOU

I think the only shows I've seen were that one everyone here said was terrible (forgot the year ) and I saw the one where Behati had that skit and some of the one where Maryna wore that yellow thing .

Many people don´t find her that attractive but I love her - not loved her from the beginning, I thought she was such a regular babe, with not really stunning face - then I started to like her and now she has one of the best bodies in industry (I would kill to have it) and her face is for me. But I admit, that her speaking abilities have raise my respect to her and love.
