Just because we know lots about women's lingerie does NOT make us gay.

Err, OPH, then what does?

Mornin'

I was just positing, that The Catalogue, has a far greater distribution, than Vivid Products....

Now, on an Individual unit comparison, I would never make such an unrealistic assertion.

I bet the Victoria's Secret catalogue is responsible for more kitten killing in this country than any combination of oriental restaurants, vets' offices and animal shelters.....

True. True.
