This is the era of the original Victoria's Secret Angels.

The Angels Of The '90s

As the 2015 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is coming up and the entire internet giggling with excitement about it for the next week, it’s the perfect time to talk about the angels that roam this Earth.

From its humble start in New York City’s Plaza Hotel in 1995, to its now-glamorous extravaganza of a show, Victoria’s Secret has never disappointed.

But with every year passing, the show gets noticeably different. Each year, the show resembles more of a parade rather than a “fashion show”; the outfits, while gorgeous and masterfully done, are not lingerie anymore.

Times are changing and the show does what it is supposed to do -- attract watchers and consumers. Victoria's Secret is not just a brand but a household name, and I would expect nothing less from the show. It will go all out.

While I love all the new girls strutting down the runway in recent years, like Candice Swanoepol, Behati Prinsloo, Lilly Aldridge, and so on, nothing will ever top the original angels of the runway.

Maybe it’s me, but I live for the classic, simple, and ultra sexy Victoria's Secret Fashion Show that I remember admiring. There is something so nostalgic and timeless about the '90s bombshells dominating the runway.

Some of the most iconic looks and models have included:

Stephanie Seymour (1999)

Karen Mulder (1998)

Naomi Campbell (1997)


Helena Christensen (1995)


Tyra Banks (1998)


Claudia Schiffer (1997)


Laetitia Casta (1998)


Bridget Hall (1998)


Gisele Bundchen (1999)

Heidi Klum (1997)


Daniela Pestova (1998)


Frederique van der Wal (1997)


The shows in the last decade have been super extravagant, heavily advertised, and social media-filled, especially with the branding of models and looking at the original angels, they prove that simplicity is key.

The original angels are now fading from the spotlight and have long retired their wings, but they paved a way for future angels today and helped create an iconic image of an Victoria's Secret Angel.

Victoria's Secret will be airing its annual fashion show this Tuesday, Dec. 8, at 10/9 C on CBS!

Happy 20 years, Victoria's Secret Fashion Show!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
