Transgender Valentina Responds to Critics After Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Debut
Valentina Sampaio, the first openly transgender model for Victoria's Secret, has responded to critics following her groundbreaking appearance at the iconic fashion show. Sampaio made her debut on Tuesday at the highly anticipated return of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which took place at the Duggal Greenhouse in Brooklyn Navy Yard, New York City. She shared the runway with fellow transgender model Alex Consani, marking the first time transgender women were featured in the show’s history. Sampaio first made headlines in 2019 when she became Victoria’s Secret’s first transgender “Angel,” a term the company later retired in 2021 as part of an effort to redefine its image. That same year, the brand also canceled its annual fashion show amid mounting controversies and public criticism. One of the controversies that surrounded Victoria’s Secret occurred in 2018, just hours before the fashion show. Ed Razek, the former chief marketing officer of the company, told *Vogue* that transgender and plus-sized models wouldn’t be cast because the event was intended to represent a "fantasy." He later apologized for the comment, calling it "insensitive," and retired from his role a year later. Sampaio's journey to success has been remarkable. Born in the small village of Aquiraz in Northeastern Brazil, she was identified as transgender by a psychologist at the age of eight. By 12, she began going by the name Valentina and fully embracing her identity as a female. Her big break came when she graced the cover of *Vogue Paris* with the headline "Transgender Beauty," propelling her into the international spotlight. As Sampaio continues to break barriers, her message is clear: her presence on the runway is part of a broader movement toward acceptance and visibility for the transgender community.

Trump ahead in all battleground states - ALL OF THEM!
When did Trump care about other countries? He cares about America, which is what an American politician is supposed to do. -

Trump ahead in all battleground states - ALL OF THEM!
Who are you referring to, dear heart? You keep going on and on for months already with your flames about a mysterious person that you are bizarrely obsessed with. Honestly, I was sure you were talking about me. But now with this admitted lifetime psychiatric business thing, it obviously isn't me, because I have never done that. Calling Russia's involvement in U.S. elections is not a hoax. Calling it a hoax is just a maga fascist buzz phrase. Russia's involvement in U.S. elections, past and present, is quite real, and definitely documented. Maybe you need to be more research on the topic because you obviously don't know what you're talking about. -

British woman injured by boat propeller on Similan Islands
You really should read up on British history. UK has a lot of very British people with the name of Wittelsbach, Battenberg and Glucksburg circulating. The Sovereign would still be a Saxe-Coburg and Gotha had the family name not been changed to Windsor. Surprised you did not inquire if the bearers of the lady were not later treated for back and muscle strain. -

King Charles: Australia's Future as a Republic Rests with Its People
IMO 90% of the people on the planet don't care whether the head of state is elected, hereditary or imposed as it makes no difference to most- we all get screwed regardless.- 1

As another member alluded to, maybe his "shift" key has worn out. Of course, we can get into the whole English teaching thing if you like, but that's in another forum. -

Question about drying before decarboxylation
NO!!! Just order an Ardent FX and take the guess work out of decarbing and infusing. Plug in play. I have a 220volt for Thailand and a 110 volt for the US. The oven method is not reliable and is not precise. The Ardent FX is electronic controlled and extremely precise and to achieve results anything greater than this is gonna be crazy expensive commercial equipment. An Ardent FX results in activating 97% to 100% decarb - you will NEVER get that with some home method. The temp must be maintain precisely and residential ovens and thermometers can't achieve that level of precise activation. No need to dry store bought weed, no need to grind it either. Just dump it in the Ardent, press A1 for THC and wait for the light to turn green. About 2 hours total to heat up, activate, then cool back down. AFter that, you can consume the weed or add your fav infusion and press the infuse button. Same process, heat up, infuse, cool down. I use the silicone sleeve when infusing, and without the sleeve when decarbing. I use virgin organic coconut oil for my infusions, but butter works great too if you're baking with it. I get my coconut oil from Big C https://ardentcannabis.com My two FX models cost about $300 USD / 10k THB. Worth every bit of money it costs. Dishwasher safe, and I've put my US FX thru the dishwasher many times. But if you use the silicone sleeve for infusing, I don't wash the FX, only the sleeve. I've had the 110 volt FX for almost 4 years, and the 220 volt about 2 years. If you're a smoker, and really wanna get too high...ingest some infused oil, wait for the effect about 1/2 to 1 hour, then take your hits for a really stoned high. If you've ever tried RSO, and used a little too much you'll know the feeling. Too high for me, and I haven't took a puff in over a year. Nothing but infused coconut oil. I haven't made gummies in two years since moving to Thailand. I laugh at the stupid/uneducated that believe they can consume raw cannabis bud or leaf and get a buzz or any effect at alll. BS, it's all in your head cause raw cannabis hasn't been activated. Enjoy your oven method and the under or over activation results. 555555 -

best alternative to a fixline internet provider
Incorrect. I even do it with a small travel router when staying in hotels while traveling around South East Asia. I don't even know the hotel's ISP. I use this one when traveling. It's getting a bit old now, but still serves me well. 300Mbps is enough for my needs. https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt300n-v2/ I use mine with a VPN, so more secure. Plenty on the net about it, but this youtube video explains it pretty well. -

Deadlocked Between Trump and Harris in NBC News Poll as Election Approaches
Haha... currently nationwide Harris and Trump are at a 50/50 split. With Democratically controlled news that the swing states have Harris on a downward trend that should be going up instead. The people are finally seeing Harris for what she is. And they are putting Trump ahead of her as a viable president.- 1
