Congratulations to Victoria’s Secret model Doutzen Kroes, one of my favorite models, who’s three months pregnant. Those Victoria’s Secret models don’t waste any time! The 25-year-old follows on the heels of Adriana Lima, Gisele Bundchen, Karolina Kurkova, and Heidi Klum, all of whom had babies last year, and Claudia Schiffer, who had a baby earlier this year.
So, who’s the father of Doutzen’s sure-to-be-beautiful baby? Keep reading »
Sure, it’s hypocritical and fat-phobic of ABC to air the annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show starring Heidi Klum’s glorious ta-tas while also demanding “excessive re-edits” on this plus-size lingerie commercial from Lane Bryant. But what do we think of LandlineTV’s spoof on Victoria’s Secret: a faux-sexy commercial starring skeletons in a blond wig and lingerie (a spoof which a gleeful Lane Bryant posted on their Inside Curve blog!)? Is it a biting social commentary on body image standards or a tasteless joke, considering the culture of body-hating and eating disorders not only among models but all women? I personally am in the “biting social commentary” camp, but at least one blogger with an eating disorder, who I follow on Twitter, was vehement that lady-skeletons are not “appropriate.” Tell us what you think in the comments.

Honestly, we expected jeans from Victoria’s Secret to be rhinestoned and distressed to the point of being so not permissible outside of areas like oh, say, the Jersey Shore. So we kind of wrote them off. As it turns out, they’re a decent fit, nice price and come in some pretty legit styles. Our bad. The ones at left are only $59.50, super simple and cute and come in three different lengths, meaning you maybe don’t have to feel like a midget as your tailor hems them three inches. Check out the site for more styles, avoid uber-distressing and save $15 if you spend $100 right now. Not a bad deal if you ask us. Keep reading »
“I kind of see myself less as the girl riding a broomstick and holding a wand and more as a girl emerging from an explosion, with a gun.”
Victoria’s Secret Angel Rosie Huntington-Whitely on her response to rumors about her being featured in an American version of “Harry Potter.” We’re not surprised that she’d choose Bond over Potter, but we are skeptical of her reasoning. You sure it doesn’t have more to do with the wardrobe than the action, Rosie? Still, she may create a whole new acronym to replace MTA called MTAS: Model-Turned-Action-Star. Oh wait, Milla Jovovich and Rebecca Romijn did that already. [Vogue UK] Keep reading »
The white linen curtain flaps as a warm spring breeze makes its way into the bedroom, caressing your face. You wake to hear the birds chirping and see the leaves on the trees blowing gently in the soft wind. The feeling of happiness engulfs you while laying there staring out at nature. You’re up to start the day but you wouldn’t mind lounging in your sleepwear. OK, this probably isn’t your reality, but at least you can pretend in this cotton eyelet-trim chemise. It has adjustable straps for a perfect fit and has a mid-thigh length to make you look and feel adorably girly.
At face value, Victoria’s Secret’s new “Love My Body” campaign sounds like it might be pretty cool and empowering. Like Dove’s “Real Women” campaign before it, surely this Victoria’s Secret venture must be targeted at women of all shapes and sizes, featuring them in the ads, right? Uh, not so. The retailer is celebrating their “Body by Victoria” line by releasing a mini-collection with three new silhouettes, but, sadly, the ads for “Love My Body” feature the same old Victoria’s Secret bombshells. There are some new faces, but the body types — you know, the ones they want you to “love” — are the usual stick-thin and busty array. Models like Alessandra Ambrosio and Marisa Miller discuss what they love about their bodies in various video clips (lemme guess — the lack of body fat?).

Behold Victoria’s Secret‘s latest invention—the “topless bikini” as modeled by Lindsay Ellingson. How very European of them. The suit actually has a removable bandeau option, but the idea is to go without. Which would mean that essentially this is just a pair of panties with some fancy strings. On the Victoria’s Secret website, you can check out a video promo for the suit, the tagline for which is: “Half the bikini, twice as sexy.” Which, depending on who you are, might read as “Half the material, twice as shameful/cold/naked/slutty/expensive.”
So we have to ask … Victoria’s Secret’s swimsuit designers must be men, right? What do you think of the topless bikini? [Elle.com] Keep reading »
