Sexy Not Selling Well?
Victoria's Secret Fears Being 'Too Sexy' and Plans Shift to Ultra-Feminine Image
Victoria has a new secret: You can be too sexy.
The racy lingerie chain, whose catalogue, store windows and hot runway shows have become a favorite for some men, intends to tone it down because disappointing 2007 sales indicate that it has become less of a favorite of women shoppers. Source

I love her. I love her occasional goofy facial expressions too, makes her look more human and less supermodel-y.
SHE LOOKS DEAD IN PIC 2
I love Adriana Lima!!! She's gorgeous!!
although i can't believe they're going to tone down their sexiness...
i still love Victoria's Secret!
CAN YOU PLEASE FIX THIS SITE??THIS IS JUST AWFUL!I HAVE TO SIGN MY NAME EVERYTIME FOR A COMMENT!BTW,ADRIANA LOOKS PREGNANT.
these pics are not as good as others
yup i agree with #1
you guys love her so much LOL
Is it me or she's actually looking kinda muscly? I'm not feeling these pictures...
Looks like she has a little belly there.Yea good move VS get away from sexy good move,go for potatoe sacks. Pam you have to sign up for an account,no charge,then you don't have to sign in every time. It took me a little time I had to email them for a password.
one thing that really bothers me is the fact that she has no waist...this is a tight dress and i still dont see any waist...and her shoulder area and arms look pretty bulky compared to the rest of her body and legs.
I hate it when you walk into a VS store and all of the saleswomen run up to you and ask if you need help, because you're a guy. I guess they think if you're a guy...you have no idea what you're looking for and I hate that. I know exactly what I'm looking for and I don't need any help. Oh and no I don't want to sign up for a VS credit card and save 10% today. I guess they get commission.
The quality of the VS clothing has gone down I believe.
A little tight on you Ace? I have tat problem with their thongs.
#4 is right.
She does look like she has a bit of a pooch here. Maybe her NBA boyfriend slipped her the Sebian Sausage and knocked her up. Oh well, I guess they all must fall eventually. Next hottie, please.

I buy stuff there for my girl.
That's how her body looks nowadays I'm afraid. I don't think her arms are big by any normal standards but they're too big for her otherwise lean and slender figure, most supermodels have very skinny arms. I don't know if there's anything she can do about, from what I hear it's very hard to "lose weight" on your arms. I think maybe her boxing training made her arms even bulkier. Regardless, I don't think her body will ever look like this again, www.casperchristophersen.com/oldrunway/oldrunway10.jpg
Adriana's arms are perfect...nicely toned and not too muscular or too thin. I think she has gained some weight, but I think she looks better with the extra pounds.
Absolutely STUNNING!! :))
She always looks so pale in her candids.
I guess it is because they slather so much bronzer on for photoshoots.
You can see her belly button sticking out in that dress.
She would be better with a more loose fitting dress.
I'm glad that there were at least a couple of leg shots.
N-ice.
Ace I was just fucking with you,you can wear womens underware & still be a manley man.
Thanks Buck! I'm glad you have an open mind! LMAO
Ace, I like your love of curves and women's underwear. Seriously, it's sexy.
Adriana looks beautiful, as always.
why is she wearing so much clothing?
Thanks Hallery.
Adriana may possibly be the world's most beautiful woman.
My perfect woman
Ace, I'm still waiting for our meeting (Me, you and Pink).
she looks pretty good... however pic 2 has holloween written all over it.
she's perfect even with the goofy face
Again Ace, would you consider Rachel Weisz? (she's the prettiest one for me).
@28 Eve, I'm still trying to set that up.
@31 You mean you, me and Rachel?
Shocking!!Adriana looks like a normal human being,what with all that belly and shit.
VS Sales went down last year because look at their catalogs, for pete's sake!!! It's all ale. No adri. How are clothes supposed to sell~?~?~
She looks mentally challenged. she looks like one of those stupid chicks who you could easily persuade into sleeping with you.... that's hot. Me like :P
what the fuck pstroyer she looks like an anorexic 14 year old there. nasty. she is hot now and i hope she stays this way
she is pregnant with marko jaric's baby
I don't get all this bastardly obsession with her, but mkay...
you guys don't half talk some shit...
shes not pregnant she jus....FAT! When is victoria secret gunna hint to her that she has to loose weight! I mean she gorgous but SHIT! Enough is enough loose th pounds!
VS does not have any quality items anymore. All their material is so cheap looking now.
Perfection
@ 34 Twinkle
No one VS model is gone to save or destroy VS. VS sales and viewers have been declining since 2000. Even when Lima was all over VS and the show, VS was still sinking.
VS has cheap products at high prices with trashy style. In the late 1990s VS was so classy, sensual, and seductive. Now, it is cheap and trashy looking. This is why VS is backing of the "sexy" and bringing in the "sensual feminine." Finally, good quality, products, prices, and service {these things VS has been lacking for years} will do more business and sales than any pretty model can.
Perfect amazing gorgeous!! No words can describe Adriana's beauty, she is just perfection! She doesnt act like alessandra do, adriana is natural,simple!
and about the news, well, they only put the stupid-slut-with-man-face (and now pregnant LOL) Alessandra on the catalogs.. who will buy it? they need to show more Karolina, Izabel and of course Adriana.
I like her facial expressions.
She is so cute and sexy.
She is fkn ugly,she looks like a man,one bulky man,c'mon can't you see that??And now she's gotten sooo fkn fat,she's just like a normal person,
what the hell is she still famous for??Poor "girl" though,this can't be easy on her,being so fat and all.Hope she does something about it.
Actually VS product sales were not declining when Adriana was all over the catalogs. Their fashion show viewer numbers were, not their product sales. I agree, though, that it doesn't have anything to with the fact that Adriana was all over the catalogs back then. It's just that the catalogs have gotten more and more "cheap-looking" and that's not Alessandra's fault, that's VS's fault.
And their products have declined in quality. Obviously that has something to do with it as well.
Go to the Forum,it's on the top of the page to the right,there you can see some interesting stuff...click on Sexy,wild men or something....
Dear Victoria's Secret,
Would you like to know why your sales have been declining? BECAUSE YOUR PRODUCTS ARE CHEAP PIECES OF SHIT. Don't sell me a fucking $40 bra that's so uncomfortable I've actually gone so far as to remove it in the middle of Chemistry class. Put a little more effort into comfort, not just style, that's what women want. Something pretty we can show off when the time is right, but COMFORTABLE. Also, your Pink line is indeed comfortable but the ink on the details run and ruin the fabric, preventing me to wear anything out of the house. Please make these changes and continue to feauture a scantily clad Adriana in all of your marketing campaigns. Thank you for your time.

Well not only has the quality declined but their also mostly only focusing in their teenage customers with all the pink stuff that their making . Whose really gonna buy that shit besides spoilt privilaged kuds whose only idea of good quality is hiw well known the brand name is...
why does her stomach protrude? and then her hips are concave?
Also, re-design your stores because the lights are too bright and the carpets are always stained. Oh, and your employees are ugly. Thanks.
LOL thats true if the employees were as hot as the models id buy anything they recommended for my girl. Lmao
ADRIANA AND ALESSANDRA WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE MODELS
p.s i actully had the opptunity to meet both alessandra and adriana when vs was doing the castings for the fashion show in 2007 and let me jus say as pretty as they look in pics their so much more beautiful in person! And those outfits the models make look so glamarous they aint very confortable i remember they had to put some sponge thing on the inside of adriana's zebra bra cuz the wireing kept poking her at the side.Oh and ale has an obsession with skittles ( dont ask lol).
Joey.a
are you a model, outfit designer, CMO, or creative director?
How were you part of the castings, out of curosity?
Thanks for all the info ;-)
She is always amazing! I love her.
Adriana looks fantastic as usual.
Maybe VS sales are declining because baby boomers are aging and can't buy this stuff anymore and the younger generation (in the US anyway) is not populous and affluent enough to make up the difference. Time to make sexy granny panties...
She looks like a retard!
Shes so gorgeous
HOLY CRAP SHE LOOKS LIKE SHIT HERE.
I'm convinced that the only feature that's saving that ugly face of hers is her eye color.
I don't get how can a non-retarded person look at that pic on page 1 and say "she's so gorgeous". ARE YOU FUCKIN' BLIND??? I think it just became some sort of habit to say that "Adriana Lima's hot!", when the truth of the matter is she's ugly as a clown nowadays. If her eyes were brown, she'd probably be a total buttaface.
^ no fucking way you are a guy, probably some chick who is trying to make people think a guy finds lima ugly...no guy would write the type of shit you just wrote about a chick
Her beauty is from out of this planet. I love her exotic look.
pretty face{eyes}, but here its shows why her body is so overrated.{arms, stomach, absent waist, proportions}
Not that hot. I've seen better.
@ Ace. Yes.
@ Eve - Both scenarios sound good to me.
She's cute but she has some nasty looking teeth.
she looks crap here.
Picture 6 is so beautiful.
