THE REAL VICTORIA'S SECRET MODELS

So I tuned into the Victoria's Secret fashion show that aired on CBS last Tuesday. Can we just stop for a moment and ponder where the time has went? I remember that time last year when the fashion show was on, and BOOM! HERE AGAIN!

Tuning into the hour broadcast was okay, I really liked the romantic New Orleans theme but couldn't care for the superhero theme because the outfits looked ridic cheap. While I was watching the show, I noticed a lot of the Victoria's Secret models don't seem like they're held up to par with the classic VS models.

First and foremost, Victoria's Secret is known for casting models who are in shape and curvy, looking very healthy. But I noticed a lot of these models looked so skinny, where their bones were popping out! I think my calf was the size of their thigh! If they looked that skinny on television, imagine how they look like in real life!

To keep the Victoria's Secret tradition alive, I compiled a list of the current VS models who are keeping this brand up to it's standards:

DOUTZEN KROES

EMANUELA DE PAULA

ALESSANDRA AMBROSIO

MIRANDA KERR

ADRIANA LIMA

CANDICE SWANEPOEL

HEALTH & BODY SECRETS FROM VICTORIA'S SECRET MODELS

You may be thinking that models shouldn't be giving this type of advice but let me clarify...THESE ARE VICTORIA'S SECRET MODELS. They have perfect bodies because it combines the best combination of curvy, toned, and healthy. These models are not stick thin or anorexic, but promote healthy living. Here are some tips from some of these infamous models.

GISELE BUNDCHEN: After giving birth, she went on the Dukan diet. "The four stage plan originates from France and starts with a protein only diet and gradually increases healthy carbs like fruits and veggies."

ALESSANDRA AMBROSIA: Brazilian Butt Lift! It's a mixture of Brazilian martial arts and samba. Check online if there are any classes available in your area, but from what we know it's a class in NYC called Leandro's Fitness. If that doesn't work, you can order the DVD's online!

MIRANDA KERR: To stay fit, she suggest going all natural meaning natural and organic foods, steamed fish, and lots of veggies.

BAR REFAELI: She doesn't trust any fad diets, like Atkin's or the Cabbage Soup diet. Instead she opts for salads and chicken while always staying active.

BROOKLYN DECKER: To stay fit and look leaner, she suggests doing free weights three times a week!

It's great to hear these health and body tips from these famous models because they are role models to so many people. It's important to see that they are stressing an active lifestyle where eating is essential to optimal health. Though this is what they do to keep their shape, doesn't mean you have to exactly follow it either. Choose a routine that suits you best since we are all different. But in order to keep a healthy figure, you have to also stick to foods that are good for you such as protein, veggies, and fruits.

VICTORIA'S SECRET STANDS FIRM ON MODEL STANDARDS

Recently, supermodel Candice Swanepoel came under media attention after appearing alarmingly skinnier than her usual healthy, curvy frame. At the Victoria's Secret new line of swimwear event this past Wednesday March 30, she looked so much skinnier than her fellow supermodels Alexandria Ambrosia and Adriana Lima.

Back in November 2010 for New York Fashion Week, she told ABCNews.com about her troubles with keeping weight on. "Actually, this year my problem has been more putting the weight on and getting muscle on because it's been really busy. I've been traveling around like crazy. I get skinnier if I'm very busy."

An insider says, "There is a really clear criteria for both Angels and the catalogue. Their career path is Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue then to Angel, it's the highest paying contract there is, period. The image is about being voluptuous, it's not fat, but it's curvy...But if you start to look skinny and 'editorial print-like' like fashion mag models, like undernourished, it gives the image the company does not want. Their shopper is older, their target is the Macy's shopper. These are young women who feel pressure these models, she [Swanepoel] could lose her contract if she gets too thin. But I'd be surprised if it went that far, she'll right herself first. Of course they'll talk to her though, the company is all about image."

Candice, being one of the main faces of Victoria's Secret caught my attention with her smoldering looks and voluptuous body. This 22 year old is the next big thing in the fashion world following steps of her fellow Angels who have branched out to representing other major fashion labels.

At the Victoria's Secret event Wednesday, Candice shared her secrets for keeping thin: "My diet. Stress and a lot of traveling kind of deals with that for me. I workout a lot, I box. I’m obsessed with it. It helps a lot with traveling to be strong and carry on with everything."

Whatever issues this South African beauty is going through at the moment, there is no doubt that she will definitely see the concern she has caused her peers, the public, and her Angels in order to get her body's natural curviness back on point. Candice Swanepoel is the hottest thing in the advertising world right now...she's amazingly beautiful and has a body to die for.
