The store, “Victoria’s Secret” was started in California by Ray Raymond as part of an MBA project while at Stanford. Les Wexner bought the store and made it part of his copmany (Intimate Brands). This doesn’t answer the question. But I feel the need to be pedantic. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by racinchikki \* > \*\*Victoria’s secret is that she charges $60 for a frickin’ bra in a style I greatly covet but can’t find anywhere else. \*\* Ebay. Find the style and size you want at the VS in the mall so you know what fits, and then search ebay for it. You can save searches and have them email you links every time they find one. You can find “new with tags” stuff from VS all the time on there. Me, I shop the $1.50 rack at Wal-Mart. Right now I’ve got really cute ones that have teddy bears on the front and say “Pillow Fight!” Her secret? I bet it’s genital warts. :eek: ---
