Victoria's Secret? Maybe it's California girls

After conducting a nationwide casting call for its next fashion show "runway angel," Victoria's Secret announced 10 finalists, and three of the 10 are model citizens of the Golden State.

Among the leggy and lingerie-clad ladies vying for a spot on the catwalk in the next Victoria's Secret fashion show are Simi Valley's Kylie Bisutti, Carmel's Jamie Lee Darley and Krystina Holbrook of El Dorado Hills.

With the angels in the outfield winnowed down to 10, they've taken wing to New York City for "Angel Boot Camp" for a series of challenges that will test their mettle as spokesmodels in such categories as charisma and ability to walk the runway in lingerie  (what, no wing waxing or halo highlighting?), while kicking it in a luxury  condo outfitted with -- and this comes verbatim from the press release -- "sofas accented with brightly colored pillows" and "playful beanbag cushions."

The inevitable pillow fights between underwear-wearing models will naturally be chronicled in weekly webisodes (available at VSAllAccess.com and CBS.com), and starting Monday at noon Pacific time, the public can start voting on which of the women should earn her wings and walk with the angels in this year's "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show," scheduled for broadcast by CBS on Dec. 1.

The rest of the finalists are:

Raven Ervin, Birmingham, Ala.
Katelyn Fortes, Boston, Mass.
Alicia Hall, Las Vegas, Nev.
Tika Ivezaj, Detroit, Mich.
Catharina Lee, Washington D.C.
Courtney O’Conner, Raleigh, N.C.
Allison Turner, Cape Girardeau, Mo.
