I'm just happy to see smiles on the runway. Runway models always look so dour.

@mishacat: I don't think anyone could keep a straight face in these get-ups. Esp. not the star-spangled, terrycloth, oversized, single-suspender shorts. I snorted myself into a coughing fit just looking at that one.

I actually kind of like the steampunky outfit with clockwork wings and a graph-paper pattern, but I think it just looks good when placed amongst the rest of this laugh-and-a-half collection.

I'm so confused! What was the theme? Steampunk? Arts and Crafts?

And how the hell would one quick change into latex thigh highs?

Surely those aren't...PVC thigh highs. That would be ridiculous and cruel.

I mean this in the least-snarky way possible: Did Miranda Kerr always have that much cleavage? Because something looks...different.

Also, I've seen Doutzen Kroes in person before and she is unbelievably, unfathomably beautiful.

In school we had rug samples that looked like #1. That jacket looks like a bunch if them sewn together.

I don't like anything VS makes to wear, but I always get inspired from watching their shows. I'm pining to be a concept artist and some of this is very video-gameesk. I'm loving the HELL out of # 7 and the steam punk theme.
Bioshock 2 needs to come out already.

These are AWESOME. So weird and fun and just out there! And everyone looks like they're having fun! The only ones I don't like are #9 and to a lesser extent #4. #9 just seems so disturbingly childish....

When Victoria starts doing steampunk, that must mean that steampunk is over. Boo.

And no. 8, watch your back because Lady Gaga is going to come after you.

Half of these are straight from a 12-year-old's birthday party, the other half are literal incarnations of objects (10 = aritificial turf, 11 = chandelier, 3 = Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tubeman).

Can anybody tell me the appeal of Victoria's Secret? Most of it is cheap-looking, fits badly and is not flattering. Swear to god, if M&S opened up a lingerie dept here, VS would go out of business. (Course, if they opened up a food store, Whole Foods would also go out of business.) I love you, Marks & Spencer! Damn this long-distance romance.

@Diziet_Sma: The VS Secret Embrace bra is the only bra I have *ever* owned that doesn't actively hurt. I don't know why, but most bras with support are auto-ouchie and the non-supportive doesn't do much for me. The Secret Embrace bras are padded just right for me.

@Diziet_Sma: My sister used to work at VS and because of the way they treat their employees is why I would boycott the entire company. They would clock her out at 11PM while she folds panties and sweatpants until 5AM, they paid her $7 an hour, they actually denied her several lunch breaks for 10+ hour shifts during christmas season, made her adhere to dumb dress code, repeatedly told her that her face wasn't suitable enough for work and made her put more make-up on, etc.

I'm aware that other mall & retail companies do this, but no one fucks with my sister that way.

@cinematheques: Oh yes, I did my time at VS during college. I'm sure she told you about the all-nighters we would pull setting up for the semi-annual sale, and I was a seasonal CSA (read: nighttime manager because I wasn't there year-round, at college the rest) making $9 an hour to get yelled at by angry customers.

@bluetrain84: Can you confirm any institutional bias against hiring flat-chested women?

I have 8 years experience in retail customer service, 2 of them assistant managing a grocery store and I applied for holiday work there 2 years ago (pre-recession!!) I did a the "group interview" and a phone interview and then was invited in for a one-on-one interview, after which I was then told I wasn't needed.

I'm convinced it's because I'm an A going on AA and I refuse to wear padded. But then again, they all did make fun of me for having an Ivy League degree ... so there's that.

Also, when they discontinued their (very short lived) Pout line, they lost me. Bastards.

I agree. VS is not well made and I feel their marketing is geared more towards men than their female customers.

Not a fan.

@lagritona: Hmmm, we had a bunch of smaller-chested ladies working at my store, so I never noticed any institutional bias specifically at my location. I totally agree with the "making-fun-of-degrees" crappiness, though, I used to hear it all the time (I went to a private Jesuit university on the East Coast).
