One America News ^ | October 18, 2023 | Stephanie Stahl

Victoria’s Secret, an American lingerie chain, is reportedly ditching its “woke feminist” rebrand and reprioritizing “sexiness” in an effort to bring back profitability.

Over the past few years, the brand has desperately tried to repair its “hyper-sexualized” images with branding changes, like canceling the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and adding transgender and disabled models to its coveted roster.

A tainted company image is not the only obstacle that Victoria’s Secret has tried to overcome.

How can you say ‘good news’?

After they spit on men AND women by bringing corpulent, ugly, angry, American hating lesbians and shemen as a middle finger to US that WE are what is wrong with America, I wouldn’t spit osn THEM if they were on fire.

They can take their ugly-a$$, ill fitting cheap a$$ crap and stick it in that lesbians pie-hole for all I care.

Oh, and Les whatever his name who was the owner of VS, look HIM up. See who he palled around with.

I am always dumbfounded and depressed that a large portion of humanity will brazenly ignore obvious reality in the first place.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that a brand built on promoting sexiness needs to actually promote sexiness.

Their entire image is based on sexy women and women who want to feel sexy. That’s it.

I don’t watch TV besides sports, but all those ‘plus’ size models in commercials are a big turnoff. Yes it is reality, but so is poop and we don’t want to see it in commercials.

Yes, as opposed to the Megan Rapinoe penis-softener they were using previously.

Ponder that someone had to raise their hand in a Victoria’s Secret marketing meeting and make the suggestion to use that pink-haired man hater.

They no doubt showed up for work today in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.

These are the most anemic broads I have seen modelling. Why not have a few naturally busty models in the mix, instead of these skinny barren mules?

FTA-——In 2018, the debut of Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty arguably foreshadowed the decline of Victoria’s Secret.

Rihanna offered “inclusivity” in her company, something that Victoria’s Secret was notably missing at the time.

Savage X Fenty showcased a wider range of body types on the runway and a more diverse representation of skin tones.

In 2019, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which was once a pop culture phenomenon, was canceled after ratings plummeted.

Critics argued that the show lacked “inclusivity” and perpetuated a body standard that is unattainable and harmful to younger generations.

When the fashion show was still airing, Victoria’s Secret supermodels — better known as “Angels” — reportedly exercised every day and had extremely restrictive diets.
