Victoria’s secret.

Victoria’s Secret is an American designer, manufacturer and marketer of women’s premium lingerie, womenswear and beauty products. With 2012 sales of US$6.12 billion. Roy Raymond opened the first Victoria’s Secret store on June 12, 1977, a store in which men could feel comfortable buying lingerie. Now Victoria’s Secret is wholly owned by „L Brands“, a publicly traded company.

For the first time since Victoria’s Secret began to make its parades the brand disembarked in Paris last Wednesday night with a show full of stars and celebrities.

Kendall Jenner, Bella and Gigi Hadid, Irina Shayk and the already traditional Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Elsa Hosk, Lily Aldridge, Marta Hunt, Liu Wen and many other models paraded on the runway mounted at the Grand Palais in Paris.

However, as every year Americans will have to wait until Monday, December 5 to see the full show because it will not be broadcast until that day on the North American channel CBS. I do not like fashion shows very much, but this one is different and stands out.

While one waits for the premiere of the most anticipated fashion event of the year I leave some photos of what was Wednesday night in Paris. I am not commenting the photos, they will speak their own language.

I just want to inform you about the models life – or not life – which I found in several comments about this „amazing show“. If you are interested in more pics, the internet is full of them.  All pics I used expand in size if you click on them.

9 Reasons why we do not want to be Victoria’s Secret Angel.

They do not eat anything for days and drag sloppy wing racks over the catwalk. Why in God’s name should one be a Victoria’s Secret Angel ?  Well paid ?

1. Daily six-hour workout.

Her body is her capital. For a „sixpack“ a la Alessandra Ambrosio it is not enough to go a few times jogging. Victoria’s Secret Angels train not only just before the show, but all year round. Six to seven days a week, four to six hours a day.

2. Unilateral diet.

Imagine you can eat nothing but green vegetables, nuts, fish and lean poultry all year round. Nine days before the show, there are only protein shakes.

3. No alcohol.

Alcohol and cigarettes are taboo weeks before the show – finally both destroy the complexion.

4. Always available.

Victoria’s Secret Angels are bound to a strict contract. During the year, they have to be ready for use practically everywhere. Nothing to do with it: „I have my days, I’d rather go around the couch“!

5. The right men’s choice.

Yes, the Victoria’s Secret Group also intervenes in the partner election. Because a bad boy with a past drug on the side of an angel is not at all. On the other hand, singers, actors and models with a clear image are welcome.

6. Mouth odor due to fluid deficiency.

To see the muscles really well, the models, twelve hours before the show, do not take any liquids to themselves. This is how the body loses water and the last three to four kilos melt away. The liquid deficiency not only dries the body, but also the mouth – and that ensures that many models on the day of the show suffer from mouth odor and foul breath.

7. Heavy wing frames.

It looks as if the angels were hovering over the catwalk with their wings – but in fact these things are quite heavy and uncomfortable. In 2011, Alessandra Ambrosio allegedly towed 15 kilos over the catwalk – and that in high heels!

8. Please smile.

Victoria’s Secret does not have to have a smile on the catwalk, they are also backstage and constantly in the everyday by photographers – and they have to look happy all the time!

9. Gathered.

Of course! Before the show, the angels enter the tanning shower, then thick make-up, concealer and powders are brought up.

Nevertheless there are thousands of applications for this job. Don’t think about the hard work behind the show, just enjoy the colors, the body’s, the fashion they wear and the great performance. I would like to call for a „Victoria Secret Day“ once a year.

Uuuhhhh, how unimaginative or uninspired a lingerie show like such.
Just judging the presentation, no offense to or about any person.
