Call it the battle of the bodies. After a one-year hiatus, Victoria's Secret supermodels will return to the runway this week for the company's legendary fashion show.

A year after Janet Jackson's Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction" set off a firestorm over decency that saw the censoring of shock jock Howard Stern, the withdrawal of Abercrombie's racy quarterly catalog and the cancellation of the annual Victoria's Secret lingerie extravaganza, companies appear to be emerging from their conservative shell.

.......Tyra Banks, Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum and other models will sashay down the runway clad in racy lingerie and stiletto heels.

Victoria's Secret cancelled its show last year, partially as a result of the social climate, said spokesman Anthony Hebron. In a sign that overtly sexy themes may not fly everywhere, customers complained about window displays they considered too provocative at Victoria's Secret stores in McLean, Va., and Wauwatosa, Wis............. Hebron said those displays were changed. "We want to be sexy, not offensive," he said.

Asked why the company decided to move forward with the fashion show, Hebron paused, then said, "We've never had a wardrobe malfunction." suzanne.kapner@nypost.com

Everybody knows Victoria's Secret anyhow.

(She likes to dress like a slut.)

[Liz]

I don't know about you, but this sure makes my day.

> Why didn't they have underwear models like her when I was in high school?

Yeah, but what's with the angel wings...or didn't you notice them?

[gov_bean_ counter]

Does SI have articles too?

[SlowBoat407]

I never got that. My image of angels is definitely different. Something about being terrifying.

Mmmm. Tyrraaaaaa.

[Fairview]

Aw, even as a woman I like VS and its fashion shows. They motivate me to do ab crunches.

[taxed2death]

Yea, just horrible. I'd probably barf all over myself if I saw here walking along the beach in a bikini.

NOT.


Keep your anorexic Coulter/clones...it's nice to see a lady with hour-glass figure instead of the "starvin-Marvin from Ethiopia look.

I don't know, but is it true what they say about hairy palms?

[gov_bean_ counter]

Don't know. Let me get my glasses and check.

[P8riot]

Good for you. My wife is 40 and she looks great in stuff from VS. Its been a positive motivation for her too. Doesn't do me any harm either.

Got cardio?

Mark Martin finished second yesterday, in Texas!

[Piquaboy]

I have seen more skin than that on "Baywatch".

[Piquaboy]

When I was in Aunt Jamima was quite popular.

A little cushion.....

[kentj]

ya but what the F is Victories Secret???? Somebody has got to know, does she have AIDS? Is she really a guy? I know she is a 550lb Blue Ribbon Hog (Do ya think?).

We owe it to ourselves to "uncover" the "secret" lets demand a federal investigation - I mean if Martha can butter her muffins in a federal prison and Rather can still stand by his story then we should be justified in know the frigging "secret".

[P8riot]

Don't need that stuff yet. I'm 49 yrs old with a 3-1/2 yr old son. I think I'm doing pretty good.

[wolfcreek]

You just can't stop a good thing.

Poor Mel, somebody needs to tell him that the cig goes in his mouth, not the hole in the back of his head.
