You might think the last thing that interests us about the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is the fashion. Granted, we're guilty of a certain amount of fascination with the models on the runway. But between lascivious glances, we have also noticed the apparel on display. We got up close and personal with a few examples that have us pondering just what it is these ladies are modeling. Maybe you can help us decide whether some of these get-ups are more silly than spicy.
Can we really get that oversize scarf and the shiny armored belt (never mind the
$5 million Black Diamond Fantasy Bra)?
Of course if it's something much more classically sexy you're craving,
click here for a behind-the-scenes glimpse at a Wonder Bra commercial featuring Adriana Lima. There's nothing left to do but gaze in wonder:

Silly? Spicy? How about downright stupid? I've never watched this "fashion" show, but unfortunately caught a glimpse of the commerical for it. UNDERWEAR has now become THIS important that it warrants prime time. Just proves how stupid this country has become

That scarf was a terrible styling choice. Talk about faux pas! Then again, I didn't watch, I'm just going by what I see on here. I kinda lost interest in their shows. You can't even get half of the stuff in the stores that you see walking the runway.

How can you think that a skinny-minny person like that Lima bean is sexy? She doesn't even have enough flesh to look normal let alone sexy!

Calling names and spitting poison only indicates "where is the country going, dah, dah, dah". It is a gift to be beautiful and it is life long suffering for many of you who did not make it. So, that said, you are down right jealous

i've always been a fan of victoria's secret. not just lingerie, but mostly their clothes, i find to be well made, pretty reasonably priced.
what has really disturbed me lately though is the target to very young girls. the new scents, ads seem to be aimed at high schoolers and younger and i'm not liking that trend.
just received the new catalog and it looks like a 16 year old, half dressed on the cover.
so now we have teens and preteens wearing wonderbras and my 13 yr old tells me her schoolmates buy thong underwear at v.s.
i agree..this country does seem to have become stupid.

Agree with one of the posters about 'age appropriate' marketing targeting of adolescents. Not to mention- the 'wonder bra' created a real problem for some consumers who found out they're allergic to the formaldehyde used in the processing of the plastic foam in them. Guess theres a class action suit on that one. Just way too much hype (and wayyy overpriced) for my liking. Only if someone buys me something at VS will I ever wear anything of theirs.

why do people always criticize this show. its only one night a year, so lets just get over yourselves. is it a jealousy thing or what.i am someone who is not a small girl, i would be a girl that would not excepted in the industry because of my body type. i am not offended by this show and most people arent. so if you dont like the show then why watch it, no one is forcing you too.

I think that show was the most rediculous show I have ever seen. We have stooped pretty low to show ladies(?) undies, if thats what you want to call them, on prime tv. I think it SUCKS !!!!!!!!!

I dont understand why they do dont make this a pay per veiw show, it's sleezy, soft porn, and shouldnt be shown on regular tv. Shame on you CBS for a third year at least. They get paid to be what they are in the first place, SO that makes them???? I won't say it.I think we all know!!!!

But what about all the TV shows that are on right now, which of them are actually educational? Are some of you jealous you don't have those girls bodies to be insulting them, calling the show soft porn? Please, most of the shows on TV now have sex scenes that should be banned if we refer to this show as soft porn.

listen, stop making fun of people who are skinny. it's not them being thin that's the problem, it's them being thin with huge boobs and curvy bottoms... that's what's ridiculous, and incredibly unrealistic! but hey, they are freaking lingerie models for crying out loud... and I have to admit, I feel sexy wearing VS stuff.

I am shocked and appalled. Not by the last hour of fashion I just watched, which was amazing, but by all the negative comments about this show! This is the third year I've seen it and it makes my holiday season. Who doesn't like to watch cute girls in cute clothes? It must be a jealousy thing with you people. Maybe if I weren't tall and thin and young and a D, I would hate it too?

What a bunch of pathetic losers making the derogatory comments, so much jealousy being portrayed here. For those who call this smut, please get a life, this is a group of beautiful women modeling some beautiful and sexy clothes. If you don't like this sort of thing then why oh why do you insist on looking at it. Oh well the world needs all kinds.

jealousy jealousy jealousy... What HAters! U act like a bunch of high school teenage girls..
I work at VS & I Love it.... The Show was awesome n their is nothing wrong with women in underwear, they looked hot and are comfrotable with thier sexuality. I disagree it doesnt demean women on the contrary. I think its just jealously. I loved it cant wait till next year :)

I never watch the show, but I just flipped through the pictures and I didn't see anything sexy at all...I think the lingerie was down right ugly and the models looked rediculous.
