No. Her secret is that she’s wearing sexy underwear beneath her everyday clothing. ---

**Sexy** underwear? Hate to disabuse those who have met/will someday meet me, but I’m a white cotton kinda gal. ---

Victoria’s secret was that it wasn’t just the way it made Albert look when wearing trousers that made her a fan of the prince consort’s pearcing. ---

Not just under “everyday” clothing; under stiff, formal, **Victorian** clothing. Or that’s what I thought it was supposed to mean. ---

Victoria’s secret is that marketing will make people buy something they don’t need, and pay way more than it’s worth. ---

Victoria’s secret is that the models for plain cotton undies look a lot cuter than the models encased in those silly Fredericks-of-Hollywood knockoffs that VS is pushing. ---

Her secret is that if she sends my fiancee a catalog in the mail _every goddamned day_ then my fiancee will place orders for things she would otherwise purchase for less at Ross. Not that I mind finding a VS catalog in the mail every day. I just wish they’d update the pictures more often. ---

Victoria’s secret is that she charges $60 for a frickin’ bra in a style I greatly covet but can’t find anywhere else. ---

Victoria’s secret is that she can make some of the ugliest breasts I’ve ever seen actually look hot just by adding the right bra to the ensemble… :eek: Also to be noted, they can actually manage to make bras that are both comfortable, in my size, and look good on me at the same time. This is something that rarely happens in any other store. 🙂 ---

Her secret is that she’s a slut. A tramp. A trollop. A hip-slingin’ daughter of Satan. A slattern. A floozy. She’s easy. A girl of ill-repute. A good-time girl. A party girl. For a good time, call Vicki. ---
