Victoria's Secret show was crazy bad

This just in: Victoria's Secret may be that the company which once sent lovely lingerie down the runway has gone bonkers. How horrifying are these get-ups that were spotted at last night's runway show at the Kodak Theater?

To the left, we have a model masquerading as a wedding shower gift with way too many ribbons and bows. She reminds me of that pile of present debris that always makes me hesitate and question my eco-conscience. Shouldn't I recycle these bows, I ask myself, as I chuck them into the garbage.

But that's tame compared to the other looks.

This disaster on the right appears to be a plain, white bra that badly needed attention and decided to throw up all over itself. What the hell is all that squiggly black stuff? It reminds me of the scene in "The Exorcist" when Linda Blair's tummy spelled out, "Help me." My husband would not be turned on by this insane look unless it was made of licorice.

Here to the left, we have a confounding accessory -- a huge metallic corset -- paired with some fairly sexy underwear. What does the belt add to this ensemble? Just another reason to scratch my head and check out the latest looks from La Perla.

thank you for this article. I strongly agree with everything you said including that Victoria's Secret material are so cheap that i would never buy their lingerie. But I don't think it about the bras or outfit, rather a show for the Spice Girls, Heidi to show her amazing body and all the other hot chick. Probably a marketing scheme to get our boyfriends to make us buy sexy lingerie...yeah I'd rather go to La Perla also...

I like Victoria Secret's oufits usually but yes, these are just too wild. Stick with the sexy underwear and bras and they'll do just fine. Of course, these items were probably just for the TV special, but even at that they should not have used them. But the models are absolutely stunning (Alessandra I love you!)!!!

why doesn't the public recognize what this is meant to do? Pornify young women - they pay these sluts to parade around like 'models"? horrifying, excep to them, who take the money and run - to become movie stars - would Grace Kelly model her underwear?

i agree with the past post - let's bring true class back to femeninity

VS's true product for sale is image, fantasy, and hyped up sexuality. The fabrics and construction are shoddy and have a short wearing life....gotta get the customer back in the store for another bag full of over priced fantasy. VS is all about marketing and a perfect example of sex sells.

It seems like all the people who were hired to showcase their creative skills left their creativity at home and just "winged" it with some stuff that was lying around. First we expect more from a big timer like VS. I'm sure you thought, we can put them in anything and they will look great and sell lots of underwear. Second where is the real imagination? We haven't seen it in anything from Hollywood or its marketing people in a very long time. IT looks like VS and Hollywood could use a refresher course in creative imagination with taste and style 101. We have much higher expectations than what you gave us.

If I had my woman dressed in those getups that VS is trying to push, then my toolbox would have to accompany me to the bedroom. Its like trying to unwrap a flashy complicated present with a mere two hands.
