VSFS 2015: Candice Swanepoel (Ice Angels Segment)

Candice Swanepoel opens the Ice Angels Segment of the 2015 Victoria's Secret fashion show! What a delight!


Looks like the bodysuit she is wearing is adorned with beautiful, sparkling crystals. The way that she entered the stage with that sexy hip bounce sent chills up my spine. There truly is something completely magical about the South African beauty. The performing artist, Ellie Goulding, watched Candice strut her stuff in complete appreciation of her beauty as she sang a beautiful live version of "Love Me Like You Do" which is featured in the sexy film "Fifty Shades of Grey."


"You're the light, you're the night.
You're the color of my blood.
You're the cure, you're the pain.
You're the only thing I wanna touch."

~Lyrics from "Love Me Like You Do" by Ellie Goulding



"You're the fear, I don't care.
'Cause I've never been so high.
Follow me to the dark.
Let me take you past our sateliites."

~Lyrics from "Love Me Like You Do" by Ellie Goulding



"Fading in, fading out.
Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find.
Only you can set my heart on fire."

~Lyrics from "Love Me Like You Do" by Ellie Goulding



"I'll let you set the pace.
'Cause I'm not thinking straight.
My head spinning around I can't see clear no more."

~Lyrics from "Love Me Like You Do" by Ellie Goulding

SI Swimsuit 2016: Gigi Hadid


Finally, a post on my shonshyne blog about Gigi Hadid. She is simply adorable with real woman curves. Her athletic, sexy build is one that I can identify with. Her personality just pulls you in closer and makes you want to be her best friend. Move around Kendall Jenner ... we all want to be best friends with Gigi!

She has been in several issues of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and is now modeling for Victoria's Secret. She is a designer fashion runway model and has landed several high-profile advertising campaigns including Vogue magazine covers. She is only 21 years old and has been featured in music videos and movies. I am not sure if her relationships with a few rock musicians has made her uber appealing or if just because she seems to associate with all the right people at all the right times. Noone in the modeling world is as cool as Gigi Hadid. She is definitely the model of choice these days.

Her last name is Hadid which is the only indication that she is of Arab descent. She was born in Los Angeles, California and exudes the beauty and the spirit of an All-American girl. Her father was born in Nazareth and is considered a Palestinian American. Her mother is a former model of Dutch heritage. Gigi's unique beauty is a lovely combination of Palestinian and Dutch ethnicities. Her personal style and cultural upbringing is truly All-American.
