Did you guys see the backlash about the Native American outfit? They're cutting it from the broadcast because so many people were offended by it, and both Karlie and VS apologized on Twitter.
... on the bright side, looks like the criteria to become an angel has widened a bit. Even average looking girls have a shot.

Haha hilarious!
This along with vanity sizing, every girl out there is going to think she can be a model!

That's ridiculous, that was one of my favourite outfits. People need to calm the hell down. I wasn't offended by it, and I'm native as well, if that means anything.

Ugh, doesn't surprise me one bit. It always astounds me, isn't there like an entire team of people who have to come up with the idea, and greenlight them? How does not a single person go "uhh...wait guys, this might not sit well with some people". Going back to the whole No Doubt video fiasco a few weeks ago which was pretty much the same thing.
Agreed. This is so stupid. How can you be offended by that outfit? There was nothing possibly offensive about it...our society has become so sensitive.
ok...well, I'm sure they could have seen this coming, why even bother putting it in in the first place
I agree that perhaps society is getting a little sensitive but there are reasons why people are offended by the use of the headdress. Headdresses are not worn by women in native culture, they are worn by warriors and cheifs. Native culture carries a deep respect for traditions as well as traditional dress. It is offensive for something that is respected and honored to be used as a "costume" or for entertainment value.
And i did like the outfit- i just understand why it could be seen as disrespectful.
Seconded...
How many times have people been sued or gotten backlash for dressing like Native Americans? (Hint: its a lot) Instead of risking it they should have just gone in a different direction so Karlie wouldn't be cut from the show.
As soon as I saw the outfit I knew it was going to be a problem.
The people who work at VS aren't stupid. I doubt it was a coincidence that the outfit that would stir up controversy went to a white girl with 3 outfits, as opposed to a darker girl with 1 outfit or an angel. Plus, something similar to this already happened to VS when they had to remove its "Go East" collection, which featured Asian-inspired lingerie. They probably thought "any publicity is good publicity".
