News & General Discussion

Pretty sure Ana will indeed be at the Fashion Night Out runway event tomorrow, because Coco Rocha just posted this on her blog:

Back in February I hosted an event for Lakay Pam which aimed to raise money for Haiti. The event was more successful than we could have ever imagined, raising over $60,000 for the children of Haiti. In fact it went so well we are going to do it again tomorrow night...

Who's "we" you may ask?

In addition to yours truly top models Aline Weber, Caroline Trentini, Hannah Holman, Lisanne De Jong, Valentina Zaliayeva and Michelle Alves will be there – Victoria's secret models Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanpoel, Izabel Goulart and Ana Beatriz Barros will be on hand - annnnd, (yes theres more!!)

Hope we'll get tons of pictures!!

Hoping she was right!

She wasn't there, unfortunately! She was in LA yesterday, shooting with Katie Grand, and didn't make it back in time.

Better be an epic shoot, or I'm going to be pissed.

Thanks for the info, hun.

Hey, so seeing as we made a list not too long ago about work was to come out...

What did come out, what hasn't, and what is pending on the horizon? Sadly, I haven't been keeping track lately (I'm horrible fan to my favorite model lol), so I feel VERY out of the loop.

^ I think the only thing we haven't seen yet, is her GQ UK cover! i-D is out, I've seen a tiny version of her picture, just waiting for a good scan.

Two bits of Marks & Spencer news:

M&S ‘Autumn 2010’ ad wins UTalkMarketing People’s Choice

The Autumn 2010 TV campaign for M&S has won this week’s UTalkMarketing People’s Choice.

The work sees the retailer’s raft of famous faces sees the girls taking a light hearted journey through this season’s key trends.

The celebrity line up, now in their second season together, features Lisa Snowdon, Twiggy, Ana Beatriz Barros, and VV Brown.

Viewers should also look out for a very special appearance from Dannii Minogue.

The TV is being supported by print across various media titles and billboards at various locations throughout the UK.

The soundtrack accompanying the ad is “To Be Real” by Cheryl Lynn

The advert came tops in the UTalkMarketing People’s Choice – our weekly poll, held in collaboration with OMD Snapshots where we ask 1,000 members of the public to vote for their favourite advert currently in the marketplace.

It received almost one quarter (23 per cent) of the vote, placing it ahead of the first runner-up, when participants were asked, ‘Which of the adverts made you want to buy the product or service advertised?’

M&S shares recover to rise 4.5pc

Shares in British retailer Marks & Spencer (M&S) recovered strongly from an early morning dip yesterday to close up almost 4.5pc after it beat market expectations during the second quarter with like-for-like sales in the UK up 5.3pc.

M&S chief executive Marc Bolland said that customers are "returning to quality", but the chain noted that trading conditions in Ireland and Greece remain difficult.

Group sales were 6.5pc higher during the period, with like-for-like food sales in the UK up 3.7pc. Mr Bolland said an M&S advertising campaign that features Brazilian supermodel Ana Beatriz Barros helped to attract an extra 1.8 million shoppers through the retailer's outlets. He added that M&S has sold three million meal deals for £10 (€11.40) each in the UK within the past five weeks.

M&S, however, told investors that trading conditions are likely to become more challenging.

"Consumers' disposable incomes will come under greater pressure from increased VAT rates and public spending cuts," said a trading statement from the group.

My heart is breaking with the news that Ana won't be in the VS show this year.

:shock:

:shock:

I know, honey.

maybe there is still chance that she will be in the show ?

maybe there is still chance that she will be in the show ?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. In 08, NO ONE knew Carmen Kass was in the show till last minute, and Ana technically was never confrimed for 08 either.

I don't really think she's going to be there (her agency was the one who confirmed her absence, after all), but hope is a fools happiness, after all.

I've heard from two different sources she won't be there. Both pretty reliable...I've given up hope. A girl showing up who's not confirmed is not the same as a girl showing up who's been confirmed as not being there! So disappointed, and really confused too...I don't get why! She's in great shape, no different from last year!

according to this she is doing the show: http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2010/11/pre...riz_barros.html

Actually she didn't. It's a pity because she would fit that show better than some chosen girls. She and Anna Jagodzinska were among the best girls last year and both are not in present show.

Maybe VS don' t want to shade some of their regular stars.

Very sad, then Ana not doing VSFS 2010.

The show felt so... odd and incomplete without her.

Does she have a boyfriend right now?

Yes she does, actually. As far as I know she's still with him.

Thanks AnaBBarrosFan...
