Is Candice Swanepoel Victoria’s Secret Latest Fallen Angel?

Candice is in the middle.

Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel is wondering right now if that almond she ate yesterday is making her look fat. The 5'9" South African beauty was supposedly promoting the new 2011 swimwear collection for Victoria's Secret yesterday in Hollywood with fellow models Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima, but people couldn't see her. She'd turn to the side and vanish. It really confused Ale and Adriana.

Aren't Victoria's Secret models supposed to be sexy and somewhat soft? I mean, their bodies are totally unbelievable, but what I admire most about them is that they're not runway sticks who eat cotton balls. They look healthy, like they've been playing beach volleyball their whole lives on the shores of Ipanema. But maybe Candice's concave stomach and invisible thighs are the new VS trend?

If so, I'm totally canceling the bagillion VS catalogs I get every month. I don't want to see someone who looks hungry try to sell me cute underwear and push-up bras. I want to see an effortlessly gorgeous woman with unattainable curves and cheekbones I'd give my left foot for in lace-lined lingerie and patterned one-pieces.

I've always thought that the Victoria's Secret models were sort of our last bastion of sanity in the modeling world. Its models are the members of the Lost Colony of beautiful, exotic, and "curvy" women upon which we can place our hopes and dreams for bigger breasts and toned buttocks. If they introduce this new breed of Candice into the Commonwealth, it will kill off the natives.

It starts with a skinny mini and ends with glossy pages full of emaciated half-beings. Save the VS models we know and love! Just say "no" to the under 100-pound gaggle. They have their places on European catwalks and velvet couches in nightclubs -- keep them out of Victoria's Secret.

Someone throw some pasta bolognese at Candice and tell her to get on board, the VS train is pulling out of the skinny station.

Do you think Candice looks too thin? Or do you think she fits right in with other VS models?

LMAO Kaidensmama!! So true! She doesn't look like a VS model at all, and I assume she's the topic of this article?

She does look too thin. I want to see more womanly shapes on VS models so you can tell what the stuff would look like on a woman you know. I'd even like to see various body types like this:

Also, now that we know more about her, I'd like to see more of Gisele. She recently became a lot more interesting.

I think Gisele "retired" from VS. She felt she was worth more than what VS was willing to pay her so she left. I could be wrong though. As someone who worked for VS for a number of years, this is upsetting. I hope it's a camera angle or something- VS models are pretty much supposed to be curvalicious and the epitome of unattainable and you absolutely love to hate them. And they do eat! I met Heidi once at a store opening, and she was chowing down on a sandwich and a full fat chai latte. It was amazing and made me fall in love with her.

She looks gross. VS models have great bodies, yes still a little to thin but healthy/fit thin at least.
