Arlenis is a VS Girl

arlenis sosa will walk for victorias secret.jpgWe think Arlenis deserves some kind of award. Maybe something like a Most Successful Model in the Least Amount of Time award?

Not even seven months have gone by since we first spotted her at the Banana Republic Fall 08 show approximately one week into her career, and she’s already been in Vogue and WWD, starred in the legendary Black Issue of Vogue Italia, landed a major beauty campaign, and now? Well, now, she’s an angel, having walked in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show extravaganza this past weekend.

Too bad there aren’t modeling Oscars, but at least she’s got the money.

I too wish she would get away from VS, and stayed in "high fashion"...only.

I am so proud of her! She well represents the beauty of our home country (Dominican Republic).

She has the look that only centuries of ethnic blending produce... Dark skin, thick hair... and the eyebrows!!!

We eat a lot of plantains. That helps too!

Just because a girl walks on the Victoria's Secret runway doesn't mean she's an Angel. There are only a handful of those ones and they're pretty much exclusive VS models...aka Heidi, Alessandra, Miranda, Adriana, Miranda, Karolina, etc. So Arlenis has yet to receive wings...just like the other newbies on the VS catwalk. And come on people, plenty of high fashion stars walked the VS runway- Stam, Lindsey, Maryna, Michaela- it doesn't mean they become commercial models overnight.
