My thoughts on…Victoria’s Secret: “Too sexy?”
It was one of the most terrifying things that have happened to me since I heard that Heidi Klum got married. Victoria’s Secret is de-sexifying their lingerie line. I instantly said “NOOOOO!” I’m not kidding. I shouted that out loud. And while it wasn’t enough to impress Lord Vader, a couple people gave some puzzled expressions that said, “what’s that retard yelling about?”
I have been a longtime fan of Victoria’s Secret fashion shows and their models, but as I got older and my libido got stronger, I stopped watching these shows. Why? ‘Cause I’d be watching what I could never get. It’d be like staring into the face of God. It would overwhelm me. I already have difficulty containing myself around average college girls in jeans and tight blouses. Imagine some of the world’s most gorgeous women, prancing around in their undies. Dear Lord.
Chief Executive Sharen Turney says that the company is straying from its roots, and she wants to bring it back to its roots, the ultra feminine. The brand also wants to become more sophisticated, and I don’t think frat boys jerking off to images of its models isn’t exactly highbrow. Oh, and fourth quarter profits fell 12% and first quarter earnings will be below expectations. But its not like that had anything to do it.
Still, little Miss CEO should remember that its not just college girls who want to show off their assets or middle-aged women who want to retain their husbands’ interest in them so that their eyes won’t wander to said college girls. It’s also men. Men who buy the Very Sexy bra for their ladies, then fantasize that they’re making love to one of the Victoria’s Secret models. Men who buy the lingerie for their women…after making the hot store clerk model in it a few times, claiming “she’s just your size.” Is this a clever strategy, or if it will backfire? Time will tell.
dude you’ve put a lot of thought into this havent you.
well i think i may have seen only one of their fashion shows and maybe seen their calendar once but it too left a lasting impression.
here’s another thought maybe its the models. maybe having these ultra glamarous models that regular women cant relate too works against them. how about some average girls with some cellulite parading around in the vickie’s secrets making the average woman feel better about their bodies.
oh and dont sell yourself short my yout. think positive,. if you want a hot victoria secret model type girl you can have one.
jdid’s last blog post..Impeach the Prime minister??
Let us all bow our heads for a moment of silence to honour the passing of a great institution. Actually, I am just kidding, I never really got into the Victoria Secret thing. Why raise up myself (so to speak) for nothing?
Yes I have Jdid. In fact, I put a lot of thought in all of my posts.
I don’t think the victoria secret catalog is meant as a free skin magazine for male recipients. It’s supposed to advertise what’s for sale to women.
How many men do you know who buy lingerie and underwear for their significant others? Not a whole lot. Period.
If women cannot visualize themselves wearing the products, they aren’t going to buy them.
If women feel objectified and insulted by the permissive nature of the catalog contents, they are going to buy their undies elsewhere.
I am one such woman. Masculine sexuality is a wonderful thing (when controlled by the man in question) but I don’t want to be confronted with it everywhere I turn. I don’t buy underwear because it makes me sexy but because it covers my ass.
