With Victoria’s Secret finally wrapping up their popular VS semi-annual sale, I thought that it is an opportune time to feature a Victoria’s Secret Angel. I have done quite a few VS angels before, especially on my original blog.

Since taking a break from blogging on that blog, I have lost touch on the newer angels but one name that caught my attention is Selita Ebanks, especially after the fiasco with Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey’s recycled ring. Of course, they denied that but I guess no one knows the truth except the parties involved.

So it was not difficult to decide on whom to write on today. Selita Ebanks was born in Grand Cayman, the British Cayman islands, on February 15th, 1983. She has seven brothers and grew up a tomboy.

What many people are not aware of is that she became much sought after by Victoria’s Secret after she underwent breast augmentation, going from Bra cup size A to 33C.

See, even for someone who looks beautiful enough as she is, standing at 5ft 9in, she still needs a little help to make herself more “perfect”. I don’t think we should depend on plastic surgery unless it is for medical purposes but I am not going to judge her.

Selita Ebanks has been touted as the successor of Tyra Banks, who left active modeling for a TV career. It could be because of their exotic looks, skin color and coincidentally, their similar family names.

For this post, I scoured the web for images of Selita Ebanks in lingerie, particularly in Victoria’s Secret lingerie, and some taken during Victoria’s Secret’s fashion shows, in 2006 and 2007.

I think that Selita Ebanks has done very well for herself, coming from a humble background, hence she is giving back to society in charitable efforts in the British Cayman islands where she comes from. That certainly is commendable.

My sister asked me if I have heard of Tila Tequila. She says that Tila is ultra hot in the United States and that men are having fantasies of her! My sister suggested that I do a post on her here on my blog, LingerieXpert. Eh… I have heard of Tila Tequila but I am not sure if I have enough material to feature her here. Does Tila Tequila WEAR lingerie???

Tila Tequila was born in Singapore on 24th October, 1981. She is of Vietnamese descent and her given name is actually Thien Thanh Thi Nguyen, a typical Vietnamese name.

Soon after her birth, her family of “boat people” migrated to Houston, Texas, where she was raised. Tila adopted the name Tila Nguyen. As a teenager, Tila was a problematic child and got into so much trouble that she got kicked out of school. As she mentioned, she suffered from identity crisis, like it sometimes happen to non-American kids living in America.

Tila was spotted by a Playboy agent. While she declined the opportunity to by a Playboy bunny at first, she accepted it later and used that as a stepping stone to greater opportunities. Tila holds an illustrious portfolio now, including Queen of MySpce.com, though I could not understand why MySpace would want an ambassadress like Tila Tequila.

For the purpose of this post, I went through almost a thousand photos of Tila Tequila, and could only come up with these photos of her in something that at least resembles lingerie! Pathetic, isn’t it?
