Shhh...It's Victoria's Secret

Today was the annual Victoria Secret's Fashion Show 2013!

It has now become a marketer's dream and 
the hype around this event is one of
 a funkier and more musical version of Miss Universe.

Miss Angel who forgot to wax the back of her neck, back 
and her ankles.

I am sure most teenage boys would view this differently but 
I couldn't help but mind read the following...

I am going to kill my agent.
 I finally get the Victoria Secret gig  
but instead I look I am dressed with the hand me downs of a 
Rastafarian and a clown.


 I hate this outfit and I don't know if even my underwear hanging out and my pout is going to distract anyone.
But some blogger out there will copy this outfit and 
I will get some extra publicity out of this.

 I haven't eaten in days so have no energy but 
I found my own way to elbow out my competition.

So I starved for two weeks and went to boot camp for one month and then they put this friggin' smiley face on my toned honed abs??




I am not an airhead.
I am complicated.
I have so many emoticons feelings.


 I am not mentally vacant. 
 Can't you see I am thinking musically?

Not only does butter not melt in my mouth but 
snowflakes don't melt on my body.

I have this mink hat and cuffs on but I don't know why 
I am still so cold...

Now this is just me thinking.


Marigolds with lingerie?
Seriously Victoria's Secret?
Whoever styled the Victoria's Secret show forgot to make
 these two barefoot and pregnant while they were at it...

    LOL - you made me chuckle. I bet they're thinking "I can't wait to spend the phat cheque I will receive at the end of this 2 hour show!"

    Hilarious!! Love your commentary. If only you were doing live commentary, Eurovision style.
    What ridiculous outfits - the 80's inspired ones are particularly awful. They distract from the underwear (although maybe that is the point?) xx

      was just relooking at the photos, and can you imagine if you appeared in your bedroom dressed like the woman in the mink cuffs etc? My husband would probably keel over in shock! It would certainly scare the bejeezus out of the kids if they were to see me in that getup - they'd think the Snow Queen had arrived to take them prisoner in her ice castle.

      Scary thing is teenage girls will learn what is supposedly sexy from this. Next time they try and seduce someone as you say imagine walking into the bedroom with a rappers torn pants a mink hat and some pouting emoticons with marigolds? I must be lslowly losing the pulse on the zeitgeist...

    CSW: Let's plan our own for 2014! I will parade down the runway in granny panties, the heating pad I am using today for my bad back and red lipstick. That is all. I don't care if they see Laverne and Shirley - the will be down around my knees anyhoo...

      My trusty iron clad sports bra and boot socks are enough to get anyone running for the hills. But just to make sure, I'll put on my helmet as well.

      Did you notice, one of the poor wee lambs is being held up by a balloon!

      Whether you like it or not - you are genius.

      I'm totally in - if no one knows how to then I will figure it out if that means you might weave a bit of your magic! Also I think you might know a few bloggers who might like to contribute...

    Hilarious! A much needed chortle in my day. What's disturbing about this parade as so much of it is clearly being marketed to young teens with all the smiley faces etc. I do wear Vics because of the all the good pulleys and levers and padding and whatty notty though - they are ace.

    Dear god, I must be getting old. Is this what we're all supposed to be vapidly wondering around in now?

    Don't think my husband would be interested in me sporting any of those concoctions. Not even the half plucked chicken look. If I'm not pinny clad and serving 'Le Dîner', it wouldn't even raise a Gallic shrug.

And I agree, those models work their asses off and don't eat or whatever and then they cover them up with something atrocious. Why the f*ck would they do that???
