Every Time A Bell Rings

From its early days showcasing their upcoming collection, the Victoria's Secret fashion show has gotten increasingly elaborate, conceptual, and costume-y...in the best possible ways.  This year, the over-the-top wings are just the beginning of the fantastical get-ups Alessandra and the girls will be donning down the (hopefully, once again, made of glitter) runway this evening.  The 2011 show is VS's largest to date, with 69 looks, 31 sets of wings, and according to nine-time show designer Todd Thomas, "more glamour, more elegance, and more creativity." than we've ever seen.
