>> Victoria's Secret may not have the cachet of say, Balenciaga, but it can make a model a millionaire.  Although the lingerie company is currently taking heat for its rash-causing bras, its event of the year — the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show — is still on schedule for taping in Miami Saturday night.

The Angels — Heidi Klum, Alessandro Ambrosio, Selita Ebanks, Doutzen Kroes, Miranda Kerr, Karolina Kurkova, Adriana Lima, Marisa Miller — will all be there, but more pressing: Who are the unnamed 30 models who have also been cast for the show? 

Fittings have been going on for the past week at least, and yet no names have leaked — the closest to a hint is this photo, above, of what appears to be Lara Stone in a Victoria's Secret outfit.  She's not your typical VS model, but the possibility of a multimillion dollar contract in the future is enough to make any model try something new.

>>  Abbey Lee Kershaw, Miranda Kerr, Catherine McNeil, and Alice Burdeu have all recently brought a strong wave of Australian blood onto the model scene. 

Now, there's a new recruit: 17-year-old Myf Shepherd.  She's definitely got the unique name going for her — her full Christian name is Myfanwy — and she walked in the jewel-heavy baroque-cum-sport-inspired Prada Resort 2009 show yesterday.  As we all know, a yes vote from Prada can open many doors . . .
