Ok, I have shopped at Victoria's secret for years - LOVE their panties and I have always gotten the catalogue. But the catalogue that just arrived at my office is more risque than Playboy. I am having a hard time believing they are sending that through the mail without a brown wrapper on it.

MOST women don't want their clothes catalogs to be porn mags. I don't want to see it, most women don't want to see it. Its a catalog geared towards women. They have probably lost customers over this...

I guess as I do not have a Victoria Secrets body, I do like the panties also, but I do not care to see little 80lb waifs with two or three strings strategically, or not, placed upon their bones...um bodies.
I taught my daughters that it is often more alluring to keep something covered initially, and for me, I do not want it splashed all over a catalog in my mail.
Again my opinion only, but there is a time and a place and if that is what it takes to sell panties etc., then I guess I just have to wonder what the H3ll is going on in our society. No we do not need to return to the days of cover EVERYTHING up...but to need it splashed all over??

You can't seriously be surprised. The pettiness never ends.
No. Not surprised.
More like amazed at the childish antics.
I just can't believe someone would act like that.

I guess I was never a VS fan. I can't wear any of their stuff and to me they always sexualized stuff.

It should function and make you feel sexy/pretty when you wear it.

They have more than just pretty underwear. I always buy my daughter VS pajama's for Christmas. Last year I got her thermals and my SO got me a silky set. I wouldn't call them sexy... but they are really nice and comfortable.
I do that too Ms Rock. They always have great holiday specials on pajamas sleep shirts with matching slippers that I get my girls too
It is a great gift! One year I got to add a tank for free and last year the flannels came with the matching eye masks. Very cute! You can't go wrong with the holiday specials!
My daughter will be disappointed if those PJ's aren't under the tree. She loves them.

I love the pink line. Always buy that for my nieces. I think DD is now old enough to appreciate it. Nice jammies, good quality, comfy.
I don't like the words on the butt. I honestly think that line is kind of tacky. Typically the only people I see wearing it are NOT the kind of people I would want my girls to emulate. I don't let my 17 year old wear that line. But everyone is different. I respect your right to do as you see fit.

Yes, I know.
And when you wear those things, it makes you feel good.
Cause they are cute/pretty.

Well. It is pajamas. So they only place the word on the butt would be seen, is in your house.
So I don't see the big deal.

They aren't all like that. I've bought a lot for my nieces that didn't have words on the butt.

I haven't bought any VS pajamas that have words on the butt. I just don't.
their marketing is aggressive for sure--a couple of years ago we were getting two or three VS catalogues a month--lord--have bought many things for my lady there over the years and for the most part have found their clothing to be good to very good quality and not particularly expensive
love their thongs and she looks great in them--their jammies, robes, warm-ups are good looking and comfortable for her as well

There are a lot of words that mean more than one thing.
I wouldn't think anything about a girl wearing pj's in her own home with pink on the butt.

You do realize how many girls/women wear those things out in public?

One question: How are they supposed to sell the skimpy things if they don't have them in the catalog?
I do agree that sexy lingerie catalogs have gotten almost to the point of looking like porn, but in order to sell a product you have to make the people that would buy it aware of it.
How else would you suggest they advertise their products: "Attention customers, to avoid being too risque, we would prefer to not include pictures of our more intimate stock. Please use your imagination, and just order items by number:", and then a page or two of nothing but columns of numbers?
You do realize how many girls/women wear those things out in public?
I guess they don't, in my neck of the woods.
I've never seen that.
Go sit in Family Court. You'll see plenty of it!

That explains it, NJN!
I've never been in Family Court!
(On my knees, Thanking God!)
I'll never forget the day (not long ago) I went to Family Court. This is where they decide child support. There was a lady there who was, I'm sure, nine months pregnant. She looked like she was going to deliver right then. She had on a sweatshirt, sweat pants that said I Boys on the azz, and slippers. She was there to determine child support.

My experiences at Family Court are very interesting. Like the day we sat behind a guy who was there with his ex g/f and their two kids and his new g/f who was pregnant. They sent the three year old back and forth telling him to tell Mommy she's a bitch and then Mommy would say tell Daddy he's a bastard. This went on for literally an hour. Then the mom of the Dad got involved. Finally someone turned around and told them to knock the chit off and have a little respect for their kids. It's amazing, shocking, saddening, and disgusting what you see in there.

Well. Anyone that would wear pajamas in public for any reason other than sheer necessity is beyond me.
I'm talking 3 am an you are on the sidewalk cause the house is one fire is the only reason for pajamas in public.

I agree 100%. I also feel that way about sweat pants and yoga pants though. Unless you just left a workout and are headed home - no need to wear them in public.

Yes. Exactly. Plus I don't want any words on the butt. The only reason for words on the butt is to attract attention to the butt. No thanks.
The Pink line is the uniform of the slutty and unemployed around here. And that's putting it nicely. Seriously I have never seen anyone wear that line that was someone I would want my kids hanging out with.
Girls around here wear Lululemon for comfort. I don't allow DD to wear anything from them without something covering her behind.

What's wrong with words on the butt? So what if you want to attract attention to your butt? Then why wear high heels as you "attracting attention" to yourself? Why is OK to attract attention in other ways with hair and makeup and high heels but not that?

Ok, well so what? We also used to shop the see that there was a "pink aisle" at the Toy store where all the girls toys were stocked. Does that mean pussy as well? Everything can be turned into a negative or not.

I don't think it's appropriate for underage girls to attract attention to their butts. Women of age can do as they please.
