January 18, 20102 of Dean’s favourite things have the same initials.
Myself.
And…
Victoria’s Secret.
-____-
What are the odds right?
Every year, Victoria’s Secret has its annual fashion show and really, every girl should watch it.
Why not anyway, because every man watches it with delight. We might as well join in on the fun.
The models are infamously called Victoria’s Secret Angels and they are depicted as something like angels from heaven. Dean would really have no disputes about this. Every man wishes heaven will be adorned with women who look like Victoria’s Secret Angels. What will happen to the rest of us?! Well, hopefully we’ll be surrounded by men who look like Josh Duhamel.
But don’t only look at the angels.
I also like this fashion show because of its creativity in fashion. The lingerie is nice, but look at the bigger picture. The stuff they accessorise the lingerie with, the stuff they make the wings from, the embellishments, the waist decorators, the stuff they put on their hair. Heck, they even put balloons all over themselves. The stage is also really cool, and the backdrop is nothing ordinary. It’s really really creative and I think a lot of credit should be given to the creative directors.
Of course, also to the models. My God, how many hours of gym training they have to go through everyday?! I’d be happy with just half of the abs thanks.
The best body, in my opinion
She’s wearing a million dollar bra.
Chanel Iman; I think she’s sooo pretty.
I wouldn’t mind naming my daughter that. Chanel cos well…duh…and Iman cos it means faith in Islam.
The newest Angel who won the VS Angel Search 2009
I like Victoria’s Secret because it’s clever in the business sense. Started as just a lingerie retailer, they now expanded to womenwear and beauty products as well, making it billions of dollars richer. No wonder the founder killed himself after he sold off Victoria’s Secret.
I just find their marketing strategy so smart after they created the Angels. They use these women as faces of the products and it works because people like beauty and glamour. Their fashion show is something people look forward to and they really know how to throw a fashion show. Their branding strategy is just fantastic. I mean, you never hear other lingerie brands doing this, like La Senza Devils, or Bee Dees Cheerleaders or something hahah.
Of course, with all these, it’s no surprise that the Victoria Secret’s Angels are amongst the highest paid models in the world.
p/s:
Some of you might be offended with this post. But really, what they want to do with their body is their problem with God. As long as we keep our bodies to ourselves and our husbands (for you married ones), we’ve got nothing to be ashamed of.
I see it as a good motivation for us ladies to hit the gym and keep healthy! Erm…I’ll start later…right after I finish this Pringles tube.
I would so rather look at your pictures in tudung over these.
p.s. these models actually have a weight limit they have to be OVER so as to not portray an anorexic look and i think thats really good cause it shows young girls out there that looking good does not mean starving yourself, just hard work.
ok, liar who downloaded the VS fashion show and sent me a copy.
hehehe if anyone’s interested in the full HD version (5.5GB) let me know and i will post the link, but if you want PD’s beautiful-like-nothing-else-in-this-world-in-tudung pictures, you’ll have to get her permission first.
So cute!
(I mean U guys not the VS Angels)
haha..so cute…dean, remind you that you’re soooo lucky to have PD as your other half..take good care of her=)
hahahaha so kelakar tau! see PD, how dean steal ur heart 🙂 at least he has that ‘romantic comedy’ tau 🙂
can i get the link pls!!! been looking for it everywhere..i keep watching it on youtube. thanks!
hey, i really like your blog but im going to be honest and say that sometimes the things you write come off as offensive and self-righteous.
@Some of you might be offended with this post. But really, what they want to do with their body is their problem with God. As long as we keep our bodies to ourselves and our husbands (for you married ones), we’ve got nothing to be ashamed of.
i dont know, i might be the only one who sees something wrong with that passage. maybe you didnt mean for it to sound offensive but it did come across as offensive. @”their problem with God”. why is it that those models will have a problem with God? and who are you to say that those models have something to be ashamed of(@we’ve got nothing to be ashamed of). i mean, you and a lot of other people may choose to cover up and do things differently. but i dont think that others who choose to not cover up or whatever make them any lesser a human being than you are. unless you wanna use the whole being a muslim argument and it being a ‘dosa’ to not cover up of course. so unless those models are breaking their own religion rules, i dont see how you were justified in saying it.
i still like your blog, i just think you need to have a little sensitivity when writing things like this.
here’s the link, Liyana.

Kim: I don’t think PD has anything against dressing up the way these models do, I surely don’t. Heck, I wouldn’t mind if they decide to make it a college uniform. Instead, the little passage at the end was more directed to our more conservative counterparts who might feel it is less appropriate to publicise these things. I’m sure you’d know if you follow this blog closely that some of her loyal readers are less liberal than you and me, so its just to reassure them that this isn’t meant to be of any offence to them.
kim, are u saying it’s good to walk around with bras and panties? is that what you’ll tell the young readers of this blog?
u should understand that it’s offensive to some people, and PD was just trying to think of those ppl….in fact, i think she was actually defending the models telling us that let em do whatever with their bods.
i am muslim and i understand where PD coming from. i pity PD cos she has a huge reader base and of course she can’t please everyone.
@ dean; haha thanks for the clarification. your comment made sense and i totally get it now.
@NB; unlike dean, you really need to learn how to defend PD(not like there’s a reason to seeing as how im not having anything against her, i already clarified that i still like reading her blog). while its ridiculous to walk around with bras or panties, who is anyone to judge what’s right or wrong? so are you saying that people who choose to cover up less are “not good”(quoting you).i do understand that PD had to cater to her more conservative readers, and i totally get that now after dean’s comment. but YOU need to understand too that there are some of her readers who cover up less and who find it offensive when she unintentionally implied that we have something to be ashamed of. but thats out of discussion now since its clarified. so YOU,ND should realise that you have no right in judging whats right and whats wrong when it comes to how one chooses to cover up.
HAHAHAHA
I always love this whole liberal-conservative argument. If you are liberal in its pure sense, then you would accept the conservative’s view. Accept, of course, is different from agreeing. After all,liberal is about individual freedom and a conservative person is an individual with freedom too.
“so YOU,ND should realise that you have no right in judging whats right and whats wrong when it comes to how one chooses to cover up.”
Surely someone liberal cannot take away another person’s right to judgment, meh? Of course ND has a right to judge what is wrong and what is right – does not mean you have to agree with it. If you are ‘liberal’, than you would accept that he has another point of view which are conserved with his own background different than yours and respect his view – for whatever it is worth in your mind. After all, who’s to say he is wrong or right? Do you then have the right to judge?
LOVE VICTORIA’S SECRET!
i love how healthy and volouptuous all the models look,it really gets u motivated(not to mentioned PRESSURED) into working out!
hey you three readers this blog is all about positive vibes and enjoying PDs writing talents,so lets not spoil it for the rest of us,have your debates somewhere else please!they have tournaments for it if you guys are so charged to argue.peace out!
Hehehe.
I guess you are right there, Layla. I apologize for spoiling your reading experience.
Was just doing a simple social observation up there, nothing argumentative.
Peace out 🙂
