It's that time of year again..



Prepare yourselves.
Bouts of crash dieting, envy, (and for boys, boners) are all serious side affects of watching the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show. Toned bombshell-glamazon women strut the runway in beautiful bedazzled bustiers, thigh-high constructed fishnets, couture-styled angle wings and million dollar swarovski-crystal studded fantasy bras. The gold glitter runway, vamped up musical performances and the constant awe of playful pouts, long locks and rock solid abs make this show one fierce productions. We watch these beautifully designed, universally sexy lingerie pieces come to life. While a handful of newbie angels were added to the list, allow your jaw to drop for a few of my favorite angels that cover every wall of a VS store near you;




 This 5'10 Brazilian beauty is basically the face of Vickie Secret.
Her perfectly contoured body and signature pout are deadly weapons.
The most envy inducing feature of all? This is her body, post 2 pregnancies.

Candice, a South African smoke show, was signed just a few years ago but has graced almost every catalog/advertisement since. Her strikingly blue doe-eyes and blonde waves give "girl next door" new meaning. My 11:11 wish is that i wake up looking like her. 


Ah, Miranda.
She just has a grade-A perfect body, an Australian accent & goes home to Orlando Bloom every night; no big deal.

Los Angeles native Chanel became a high-fashion super-model at the prime age of 20. Rocking the VS runway as well as the Ralph Lauren campaign, she's doing more than most models will ever dream of. 

Lindsay is a sexy little angel complete with fair skin and bright locks. 
She's known for her Gorgeous bra campaign and appears in several swim catalogs and photo shoots. 



Doutzen is a Netherlands beauty queen known for her strong runway strut and pretty pout. She has modeled for Vogue, Time, and was included in Forbes Magazine's top-earning super-models bringing in $6.9 million a year. & that's how it's done. 

Erin is a fierce, freckle-covered angel from Skokie, Illinois.
Discovered while on a family vacation, she shot to stardom with the help of VS. Among the other models, she's known for being quirkishly intelligent! Brains & beauty. 

Fitting the VS image to a T, Lily is a petite brunette with a signature gap that embodies everything a PINK wearing VS model should be. She is also known for some sexy poses and winks to complete her runway strut. 

Behati was a fresh face that fit the PINK line perfectly.
She was signed as an angel last year and slayed the runway during her first fashion show. She's now dating Adam Levine..who awkwardly dated VS angel Ann V. last year. Addicted to angels? I think yes.


Start the hype for this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.  Rihanna & J Biebz will sing alongside the angels; December 4th, 2012 @ 10/9c on CBS.

The Hullabaloo Fashion Show

The Hullabaloo Fashion Show & Fundraiser was a
major success.
Months of hard work, blood, sweat, tears & inspiration were poured into this event by Valerie Mayen and our Yellowcake team! While i'm usually reviewing fashion shows, this was my first time behind the scenes.. & it was quite the experience. Set up was exhausting  but with all hands on deck we turned our empty gallery into an extremely elegant venue. Everything turned out fabulously. The runway show was fierce, the entertainment was fantastic. It was an amazing experience, being able to witness Val's designs go from quick sketches in the shop to tangible, beautiful ensembles. The stress melted away throughout the night, watching guests and interns alike smile and enjoy such a fashionable event.
It was a great networking opportunity and an incredible experience to work behind the scenes of my first fashion show. I'm so thankful to be a part of Yellowcake; the experience and memories i have made with this internship has exceeded my wildest dreams. Few can say that they assist a Project Runway alum or took a cross-country road trip in the name of fashion. Not many can show you the scars on their feet from walking the Las Vegas strip in Jeffrey Campbell Lita boots.. & a handful of amazing interns can say they helped Valerie Mayen execute the Hullabaloo Fashion Show.Valerie, Bridget, & Emily have been such professional, focused, fun mentors. Congratulations to everyone that brought Yellowcake's Hullabaloo to life.
