Victoria, you Secret it out!
Remember when the catalog featured unknown (but beautiful) models wearing stunning, well-made quality clothing and undergarments for women? Maybe you don't because that was years ago. The items were a bit pricier, but they lasted a long time and were really worth it. Those were the good old days.
When Victoria's Secret started hiring supermodels i wondered how they were going to pay these high salaries for these models (and why) I thought "well here goes the quality and class". I was right.
A Victoria's Secret catalog in now geared to college students, and the workmanship and durability has gone out the window..or down the toilet. What was classy is now bordering on trashy. You can buy nicer things at a department store. Now they have the runway show (for who? Is this for women? Or is this for MEN) on TV and the commercials. Go find an old catalog somewhere and compare it to one of the recent ones. You would be shocked.
I had some Victoria's Secret stuff and was over in Europe visiting my aunt who works at a lingerie company overseas and when she saw the stuff she grabbed it, told me it was junk, and threw it away. I used to buy things from their catalog but now when I go through it there is nothing for me to buy. It's garbage. I will buy lingerie that is a little more expensive but will last me 10 times longer. Its worth it. I don't need a supermodel to sell me clothing or lingerie, quality, style, and durability is more important to me.
We, the consumer who buy their product really lost out when Victoria's Secret lost their "secret". Wanna know a real secret? If you are interested I can direct you to some websites where you can buy high-quality, high-fashion lingerie. Who, by the way, are ALWAYS a year or so ahead of Victoria's Secret when it comes to "new items" and styles. Every new item they have come out with I have seen for at least a year or more at other companies, so they are actually behind the times.
Get with it Victoria, stop trying to be so popular and think about what that popularity has cost you, and us.
