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

She's 5'11" tall, that is just perception. Tyra Bank is incredibly HOT.
===LOL!! The last time I saw a Sears catalogue was in an outhouse! == Must have been before they went to the slick color pages. Those had no "grip" at all...===
I could never figure out how I couldn't get "traction" from the snow tires page.....
You, my wife and my daughter's day!
Does not do anything for me, even in stockings.
I only read Sports Illustrated for the articles, and then only once a year.

She's ugly.
Who's he supposed to be, Josephine Baker?
You know what? I'm not going to give a knee-jerk response to that and simply dispute you without having all the facts. I'm going to take a long, hard look at her, different angles, different clothes, and respond only after careful, detailed scrutiny.
I owe it to her, and to myself.
I watched this for "research" for work. I love my job.
