My goodness has Victoria’s Secret changed since I was young.
It used to be a San Francisco Operation or SFO – just like in the airport symbol! You know, they made the store more male friendly so they wouldn’t look crazy going into a lingerie store. The Vicrtoria in the name refers to the Left Coast’s “historic” housing of the Victorian type.
At some point, Limited Brands had bought out this humble operation. The models at the time were not foreign, and they were as American as you can get. A long time trivia the panelist on The Five on the Fox News Channel and the network’s legal analyst Kimberly Gufolyle, had done modeling gigs for the company in between being a law student in the University of California. (I can’t independently confirm of this, because such images would be very scarce, although there was confirmation last October on the same program about her gig back in her younger years.)  Nowendays, they get people like an Alessendrea Ambrosio beauty, then doesn’t have worry about for the rest of her life, because they pay these professional modeling agencies tons of cash. It wasn’t like that 20 years ago.
Beauty is overrated, and I want to discuss more about models at a later time,
But with that said, I got a real gripe against V.S.
As time went on, Limited had made Victoria’s Secret from the in the closet girly guy store to a total chick store, with a chic style. Or should I say slutty style or even skanky style? I’ve gotten more and more offended by how they use the style as an excuse to perform sexual acts with the subliminal messaging. My mother told me that V.S. was known for its reliable unmentionables, that the many times you would wash them over and over, they wouldn’t fall apart. Apparently since they went slutty, style acquired substance. It’s not surprising – its just like how everything else looks slutty and they break apart faster just like your computer or mobile device – they put so much focus on trying to give you a hard on and not how it will last forever -as love used to be defined as that.
I almost get a heart attack every time I go to the local mall or in public when I see PINK or LOVE IS PINK or anything with PINK and/or LOVE. This used to be the target line for the junior teens/ladies line, and it was heavily for the high school/college crowd. And these girls who wear these outfits are the ONES that should NOT BE LOVED! These ones don’t have a damn clue that you are supposed earn the love and not expect of it.
And again, these girls who dress so low to the social scale are the teasers. They love to show off their bodies, and once they feel like they are invaded, they just get all scared. It’s not my problem when you dress like a skank and can’t take the attention from the frisky guys.
Victoria’s Secret isn’t your mothers lingerie store anymore. Time has sure changed back 2 decades ago.
