    At first glance, the line looks like it's for college students, with a focus on spring break beach essentials. But the new Bright Young Things line at Victoria's Secret is actually aimed at a much younger audience: teens and tweens. Also on Shine: Victoria's Secret Helped Out During Superstorm Sandy Parents are outraged by the spring-break themed ads, pointing out that the models look really, really young, and accusing the lingerie giant of sexualizing young girls. College-age women, on the other hand, are shocked that younger kids are interested in Victoria's Secret products at all. "Victoria’s Secret PINK is a...

    So in the mail today I got the Christmas Victoria Secret catalogue (NO!! *that* is not why, and NO, I didn't do that with it either...). While I'm distracted doing the work I brought home with me on the computer (on a friday no less, already losing some points with the wife), my wife is flipping through the catalogue and walks over to me, points at one of the pictures, and says, "hey, her abs look just like mine!" Now, what followed was obviously a blatant act of war and was pretty darn stupid on my part. Without even looking...

    GRAND FORKS, N.D. -- Dru Sjodin finished her shift at the Victoria's Secret store at 4 p.m. Saturday, then did a little shopping at another store in the Columbia Mall in Grand Forks. As she walked to her car, the 22-year-old University of North Dakota senior from Pequot Lakes, Minn., used her cell phone to call her boyfriend in the Twin Cities. They talked for about 10 minutes, he later told authorities, until the call ended with a startled cry from Dru: "Oh, my God! No!" Nobody has heard from her since. A few hours later, there was a second...

    <p>By itself, the crime wasn't extraordinary, or even unusual. A man goes into a retail store and stuffs clothes into a large shopping bag, then jets out the door without paying.</p> <p>Happens all the time.</p> <p>But not at the Victoria's Secret store in Braintree. And not like it did last Friday night when a man shoplifted at least a few hundred bras.</p>

    Victoria's Secret, the giant lingerie store known for its oft-ogled catalogue of voluptuous models in slinky eveningwear, is counting on the Supreme Court of the United States to protect its name against a mom and pop novelty sex shop in Kentucky. The high court of the land has decided to hear the 4-year-old case of Victor's Little Secret vs. Victoria's Secret in the interest of clarifying trademark law. The huge unmentionables retailer is attempting to prove that its tiny rival hurt the Victoria's Secret name by opening a store with a sound alike name. Victor and Cathy Moseley contend that...
