Victoria's Secret Turns to Vice

October 8, 2005 | By Charmaine Yoest

First, let me just state, that an extremely high percentage of the lingerie that I own has a Victoria's Secret label in it. I hesitate to reveal something so personal, but it's not exactly a news flash: Victoria's Secret is the lingerie colossus. They cornered the market on nice, but sexy underwear for American women.

So why go slutty? This picture (courtesy Andrea Lafferty) is from the window of a new Victoria's Secret in Tyson's Corner mall in Virginia. According to the Washington Post, this is part of a new national marketing campaign.

I'm very, very disappointed to see VS caving in to crudity. It's just too easy to go sleazy.

But it's a bad move for them. Competitors are easy to find.

If anything Victoria's Secret is behind the curve, burlesque has made a tiny revival, while Bettie Page is known among high school kids. But to prove how tone deaf I am, I thought all of Victoria's Secrets ads were sleazy.
