Yeah see thats what i was thinking. Cause its like something all models strive to be in. But i thought as they are working that they would be paid. I mean look at someone like Angela or Isabeli. They are regulars but i dont think they have contracts with VS. Unless they are runway contracts. So you'd think they would get paid to do it...
They probably don't get paid at all because it's VS and believe it or not everyone wants to walk in the show whether you're a HF model or not because it's televised and millions of people watch it. I think you only get paid if you have a contract.
I doubt that they wouldn't get paid. It is a job, after all. They probably get paid as if it was a typical runway show, just as SI swimsuit issue models get paid as if it was a typical editorial.
In more Fantasy Bra speculation: VS has Marisa doing a store opening the 21st (the day after the FB is revealed) then a signing the 22nd, despite that Marisa had an opening/signing just last week. And it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to not have the opening and signing on the same day, as usually happens, unless Marisa is going to be really busy the rest of the day after the opening (i.e., doing a lot of promotion). That said, it's in Chicago, and I would have thought all the FB promo would be done in NYC, so who knows.

While I'm not sure about the SI Swimsuit issue, the models who do editorials in Vogue don't get paid. If they paid the models who didn't have VS runway contracts then there would be no point in a runway contract, so I don't think everyone gets paid.

They had all the girls (except for Adriana) at the Lex store opening and the next day Heidi and Adriana did a signing, so though it might not make sense it has happened before. Ale just updated her Twitter saying she was going to Mexico, NY, Miami, and Rio (in that order). I know she has to be in Rio for Fashion Rocks on the 23rd/24th and I don't know what she's doing in Miami and for how long, but it's the 16th so she could very well be in NY on the 20th. Haha, this is getting good!
Of course they get paid whether they have a contract with VS or not. If they have a contract with them they get more money bc they're doing more press. But if they're just walking the runway for the show I believe they get paid something.
I know for a fact that all models do get paid. They actually get paid slightly more than the average runway show b/c of all the size of the company, the publicity and etc. And of course Angels gets a lot more

My thoughts exactly! VS is kinda strange at times, so there is no point in trying to put logic in their decisions 
We're all going to be smacking our heads when it turns out Behati is getting the FB. 
^ I doubt it is her b/c that would be really weird if they gave it to the PINK girl. Unless it is a PINK bra, then yeah
God could you imagine Tyra walking out with the Bra in the middle of the show? I think I'd die a little, then cheer, and then crawl up into a ball and cry some more but hey at least it's not Heidi!
Perhaps it won't be an "Angel" this year that wears it. They seem to be pushing Emanuela to all hell and back lately. And she definitely has the chest to wear the bra unlike Miranda o.O
Honestly I have no idea who is going to wear the FB and I'm tired of trying to figure it out. If Heidi does retire next year then I'm going to do my happy dance.
VS did say on their Facebook that it will be an "Angel" who will model the FB at the VSFS this year. Unless they throw us a curve ball and announce a new Angel (which I wouldn't be surprised), then I would assume it will be one of the current active Angels who will get the FB
I think Heidi knows it is her time to go. If she doesn't do the show this year, I can see her doing it next year. Just as like a goodbye thing Plus I can still see her working with the company, but just on her makeup line. I think it would be totally cool if a non-angel wore it like Emanuela or Candice! That would make my day!
I just hope Marisa get's it over anyone else. She's an amazing spokeswoman for the brand, perhaps the best in VS history.
#1 Choice: Marisa
#2 Choice: Alessandra
#3 Choice: Behati [if she's an Angel]
Anne V. just confirmed on her twitter she will be in the show
:shock:
This is what she tweeted: "Kinda cool..was sitting next to Polina Porizkova on the 6 train.. Work out time-VS show comin up! Gotta work on the fitness!"(about 4 hours ago from UberTwitter )

I mean i think Candice would wear that bra fantasticly. Her body, her boobs are just perfection. I mean you never know they might do that. Throw in a new contract girl and have her wearing the fantasy bra. But i dont know. I still have a feeling its either Marisa or Doutzen. I doubt its Miranda or Alessandra.
I knew Anne V would be back. I loved her in last years show. She was incredible. Just hope she gets more then one walk. At least two this year. She was gorgeous in the show.
So think its safe to say that.
Alessandra
Marisa
Doutzen
Miranda
Rosie
Candice
Emanuela
Chanel
Lindsay
Behati
Selita (She confirmed herself, i'm pretty sure)
Anne
Are basically confirmed for the show...
