Victoria’s Secret Tits and Lies

A Victoria’s Secret whistleblower blew the lid off the lingerie manufacturer with an anonymous interview revealing that the models are airbrushed to shit and padded with push up bras to make them seem more shiny and perfect. That took some bravery. The whistleblower with information on what goes on in the punishment shed when the nine year old in the former Burma doesn’t meet her brassiere stitching quota is still drafting her comments. 

Women’s fashion magazines love substituting exclamation points in headlines for actual reporting. This revelation that these waif-thin South Africans and Dutch Aryan panties models are artificially enhanced plays like Upton Sinclair exposing the meatpacking industry:

They put a push-up bra under the bathing suit. And we retouch out the bra…a lot of [staffers] would complain because they even did it with strapless stuff. When you’re wearing a strapless bikini, in no way, shape, or form [can] you have cleavage. It’s physically impossible with the way gravity works.

The hell you say. The pages of your catalog no longer stick together as merrily, Good Sir. The less headlined behind the scenes revelation is why Victoria’s Secret continues to retain anorexic thing models requiring enhancement rather than just hiring curvy women with normal sized tits and ass:

One time, during a swim season, they had these two girls come in that had abs and thick thighs and busts. They were really toned and their skin was amazing. They were still obviously models. But they were a different look. But, they didn’t sell anything and so they stopped using those girls.

The female buyers prefer the idealism of impossibly skinny chicks. Add a few more lines of tortured logic to your patriarchal oppression argument and men are still to blame. You can almost hear in your head all the time your guy friends went on and on about how much they love bony chicks.
