At least you could've picked one with Candice Swanepoel in the compilation, but that's a strong lineup.


Picked that one because I had life size cutouts from that campaign scattered throughout my house in college since our store didn't mind what happened with the promo stuff once it was done... maybe I was supposed to trash them, but who can remember

I worked a VS back in the day. I can assure you fatties shopped there 15 plus years ago and had no issues with the marketing.



I'm not saying they didn't and I didn't even begin to imply that big girls had issues with the marketing. I'm saying that VS is purposely changing their target customer as they necessarily much change their physical footprint. They are more purposely stepping away from being an aspiration brand.

Or it's in response to the new trend in underwear. TRUE can charge $50 a pair. Lets face it, a lot of VS stuff was uncomfortable. I think their business model was dated and they are trying to save themselves.

I'm gonna assume you're talking about lacey lingerie type stuff, but that was only a small fraction of the merchandise and not what sold the most. The every day stuff has been comfortable enough for my wife and plenty durable, and most could be had around $7-$10 a pair depending on the line.

If their goal is to move upmarket, I'm not sure how this will help achieve that goal.

Is that stuff not meant to be worn for very short periods of time? Besides, it looks better on the floor.

I'm thinking she'll pose in boxer shorts and a guinea T with hairy armpits.

At least, that's the gross image that comes to my mind.

Yeah.

I’m half expecting that if Rapinoe posed in panties, it would become clear that she actually had a penis.

Canceling shitty brands is fun.

The clothes weren't all that well made, but those women are.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, maybe? That’s about all I can think of.

Does Rosie O'Donnell count as a woman?
