Ahhhhh...14 days until one of my favorite nights on television...the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. If you remember last year I posted about it early and gave ya'll he scoop before it aired and this year is no different!!
I have a soft spot in my heart for Victoria's Secret...don't know why. All the pink, glitter, PINK, and beauty just gets to me. I mean it's the girly girl anthem of major pinkage (pinkage= massive amounts of the color pink in a given area, display, store, etc.--haha). I wasn't always obsessed with the color pink...in fact I used to HATE it! Like loathe it...but then like two or three years ago I just gravitated towards it...odd I know.
Anywhoo...back to the show.
The theme this year is "The Glamour is Back". And if you remember my one little rant post about how the people over at VS were trying to change up VS from "sexy" and youth centric to a bit less sexy than the concept of "bringing glamour back" isn't a surprise. Basically VS is losing their "older" audience and want that money- ..erm I mean business.
But the show itself looks like it's one hell of a party that I intend on attending at some point in my life...one day I will actually figure out how haha.
So the segments this year are:
1. Glamour Goddess (song played: Usher: Yeah , Whats Your Name)
2. Dangerous (song played: Jorge Moreno: Babalu)
3. The Moderns (song played: The Killers: Human)
4. Pink Planet (song played: The Ting Tings: That's Not My Name)
5. Ballet De Fleurs (song played: Chris Brown: With You)
6. Black Tie Holiday (song played: Kanye West: Love Lockdown)
7. Finale (song played: Robbie Williams: Let Me Entertain You )
I listed the songs playing in each segment because I hate it when I'm watching a show and I love the song playing but don't know what the name or who the artist is. And when you ask someone they have no idea and you're stuck thinking about that song for at least a week and you just can't get it outta your mind--THAT DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!! So to avoid that from happening...I got you covered.
You're welcome.
The lingerie line's event featured a full orchestra, a glitter-drenched runway (MAJOR!!!!), 35 models and two performances by Usher. It was held in Miami this year on Nov. 15, 2008 and kicked off the grand opening of the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel.
Here are some pictures just as a teaser...

Arlenis Sosa this has been a major year for this girl. From getting discovered to landing in the "All Black" Vogue Italia to this...
I'm excited!!! I can't wait for it to air. Don't forget to watch it!! It airs December 3, 2008 on CBS.
Clara Alonso Arlenis Sosa this has been a major year for this girl. From getting discovered to landing in the "All Black" Vogue Italia to this...And there is bad news...
Izabel Goulart is no longer a Victoria's Secret Angel. Rumor has it that SHE broke her contract to work for Emporio Armani and Armani Exchange (she's the current face of AX). She's been an Angel for quite a while now and I'm kind of sad to see her go bye bye...but that does leave the door open for a new chica to take the wings. I wonder who that can be. Little old Doutzen 
has been mentioned quite a few times and I even see more focus on her (camera wise...either that or she is stalking the photographers). But there's also word of Maryna Linchuk.
So we'll kinda have to wait and see!!
Also Jessica Stam and Natasha Poly have been noticeably absent this year...=(

The real star of the show however is the bra that nobody can afford. 
The $5 million, 1,500-carat bra Black Diamond Fantasy bra was worn this year by the ever sexy Adriana Lima. Created by jeweler Martin Katz, it contains 3,575 black diamonds, 117 certified one carat round diamonds, 34 rubies and two black diamond drops that top out at 100 carats (source). $5 mill...in times like these??? No sweat says Heidi Klum, "You always have to look forward even when times are bad," she said. "You have to look to the future." (USAToday.com) Plus that's no biggie compared to the $10 million worn by Tyra in 2004 and the $12.5 million creation worn by Gisele in 2005.
