Bringing sexy back


Congratulations Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, on becoming the only British Victoria's Secret Angel, set to grace the catwalk in nothing but her undercrackers this December. One of the few fashion catwalks to get straight men to sit bolt upright in their seats and pay attention, Victoria's Secret will host their fifteenth show this year since their debut in 1995. With Black Eyed Peas tipped to perform, this years show could be their biggest and best yet. Any feminist cries out there that women feel objectified and degraded by these kind of shows should surely be muffled by the fact that sales of stockings and suspenders are up 40%; and I'm pretty damn sure that it's women driving those sales. Why? Have you seen men shopping in Agent Provocateur, far too mesmerized by it all to make a decision and too busy cringing into the collars of their coats to ask for assistance? The majority leave empty handed or worse still, leave with ill fitting and entirely inappropriate smalls. No, I'm pretty sure the boys have finally left it us, and we seem to buying lingerie in our millions! I know the models of Victoria's Secret are primped and polished and full of botox but I still look up to them; I'd rather see perfection trotting down a glittered catwalk, all dressed up to the nines in stilettos than the average British woman (I don't care if the average sized woman is a UK size 16 - that isn't aspirational, and that doesn't mean I want to see it), all flustered in her greyed M&S basics. So go go go Rosie! Power to the pants!!
