Both had one moderate hit, but Pepcé also had her album re-release. Seems fair.
And last week, 10 more women became the new Victoria’s Secret Angels, catapulting them to supermodel status overnight. There’s a fair amount of geographic diversity with the newest Angels hailing from all corners of the world, but I spotted one problem with the newest class: There are no Asian models on the list.
