I’m recording it right now. I won’t be watching for the sex appeal, of course. (Hey, I have a lifetime pass to a site where the women _remove_ their underwear; this penny-ante “titillation” crap stopped interesting me years ago.) It’ll be more curiosity than anything. In particular, I want to see Victoria’s Secret unique vision of what’s sexy. From what I’ve seen of the previews, it’s downright _surreal_ these days. (Somehow, when I picture an angel, the last thing that comes to my mind is “skinny woman in ill-fitting underwear walking listlessly back and forth”.) I really don’t understand the beef these misguided women’s groups have. These are professional models who know exactly what they’re doing and are getting paid a pretty hefty amount for it. I mean, really, _what’s the problem?_ ---

Nah, like 90% of the other straight, non-prostitute, women, I decided to skip it. ---

Yeah. Anyway, anything that has been advertising itself as “beautiful women, very little clothing” is not entirely non-porn-like. It was opposite **The West Wing** didn’t watch. ---

I skipped it too. The internet holds wonders that make the Victoria’s Secret fashion show look like a quilting bee. ---

Does anyone else here think it was done really poorly, compared to last year? The camera couldn’t keep a single angle for more than two seconds, the musical performances sucked and there was just generally too much hype and not enough showcasing of the actual products. I don’t see how this could have been very successful from either a consumer’s or oggler’s point of view. ---
