Shortly after I started working for them, Victoria's Secret had briefly been down four Angels. Alessandra Ambrosio had found that she could make more money and become more famous by doing porn, while Elsa Hosk, Stella Maxwell, and Romee Strijd were serving multi-year long prison sentences for smuggling cocaine into the Bahamas.
Alessandra had been replaced quickly. Her departure had been planned, and the VS higher-ups had been preparing Blanca for a while. But suddenly losing three Angels had been harder to fix.
Over the weeks after the three blondes had been sent to prison, I'd been sounded out on a range of possible replacements. I was one of VS's top photographers, so my opinion mattered to them.
VS wanted to use this opportunity to improve the diversity of their Angels. Of their 14 Angels, six had been blonde (including dirty blonde Josephine), two Latina, two black, and four white brunettes. Three blondes being taken out of the equation made it possible to create a more balanced lineup.
Personally, I wanted beautiful models with tits and ass, and I wasn't too concerned what their race or hair colour was. I had to give firm "no"s to a couple of Chinese models who just didn't have the body.
It quickly became apparent that two models had places sewn up. Firstly, despite their talk of diversity, VS knew the value of young blonde women. American Rachel Hilbert had worked with them for years, and was an obvious choice as a new Angel. She was very popular with young women and had the looks to attract men.
Next up was Kelly Gale. She was a rare thing: a mixed race Swede, with an Indian mother and Australian father. Kelly had an incredible body. She also made headlines whenever she updated her Instagram, and particularly when she talked about her love of public sex. Obviously I enthusiastically approved her.
