When [Victorias Secret] said they were bringing an angel to London, I really, really hoped it would be me, said Adriana Lima aka the smiliest, most un-dislikeable model imaginable. I love London.
Indeed, the longest-serving angel had whizzed from a photocall at the labels New Bond Street flagship yesterday morning to Tower Bridge to squeeze in a spot of sigheseeing before lunch with the fashion pack at The Connaught. Dressed head-to-ankle in VS yep, they do clothes too, you know she held court over her seabass entrée.
Extolling all things Angel, she explained that what happens on the worlds most glamorous catwalk isnt a performance. Its not a character its the girls showing their personalities, she explained. Even Beyoncé, when shes Sacha Fierce, thats not fake its a part of her personality. Its the same thing.
Here are five more things we learned during our audience La Lima aka the grandma of the angel bunch:
- When she does fan meet-and greets, many VS fans come wearing wings (even the boys);
- She really, really loves push-up bras and shell always go for red, white or black;
- She spent six months living on Londons Kings Road when she was younger;
- Her four-year-old daughter loves Christmas, but is afraid of Santa;
- She has never had a mince pie. But shes game to try one.
Simply super.
