I thought that was the point.

I agree with your rationale for wearing sexy clothes 110%. But in regards to the spending habits of "ho's," I would see promiscuous type endorsing a brand of lingerie as free advertising, because they're sort of veterans of seduction.

I dropped $54 on a bra for the strap to bust. I was sooo mad. This hasn't happened to me one time either - its happened a couple of times actually  .

Re: Victoria's Secret is 'too sexy,' says brand's chief executive
Bras are for oppressed downtrodden women in the grip of the pathetic excuses which pass for men who live in their misogynistic patriarchal prisons.
Real women just burn theirs, and grow hairy armpits.

Re: Victoria's Secret is 'too sexy,' says brand's chief executive
VS doesn't have good quality bras at all. They're just for show; they offer no support and no comfort. (DR im not surprised your strap broke). I do like some of their stuff but I think it's more suited for private/intimate moments rather than every day wear. VS is a lot tamer than something like Federicks of Hollywood, now that place is kinky

Re: Victoria's Secret is 'too sexy,' says brand's chief executive
well they want to appeal to the 40ish aged women also.
It's funny how I have to make up stuff everytime I use their body mists because they sound so haram. one situation- Mom: "What's that nice khushboo/smell?" Nabs:"maybe my body mist i just put on." Mom: "What is it called beta?" Nabs:"I don't remember the name...it's pink" I LIED even though I knew it was called "Pure seduction". sounds so haram... oh yea and Love Spell is  |

amen to that. poor quality, poor support, overpriced, and becoming increasingly tacky. you can't even buy a normal black bra without it having like... leopard print on the inside 
i stepped inside one of the "PINK" stores once, without knowing what it was... i felt like i'd been vomited on by Crayola and Pepto-Bismol. not to mention that i was surrounded by impossibly tiny blonde girls in Ugg boots.
wtf does "LOVE PINK" even mean? that's not even grammatically correct! and pink is a hideous color. especially the shade they seem to favor.

assalamu alaykum
why are they referring to hoe-ness as sexiness? VS looks cheap and tacky.

What is haram about "Pure Seduction"? If you're purely seducing your husband, isn't that a good deed??

I second that emotion. Although I am a total fan of mysogynistic men.

Re: Victoria's Secret is 'too sexy,' says brand's chief executive
I hate VS. They are clearly for skinny chicks. When they start thinking about ALL women, I may change my mind, but for now, I look at that store with utter disgust.
Fredricks isn't all that bad. I got a dress from there once, it was long and had no splits.  |
