Well dang! I was hoping to see Rapihoe in some Stuart Wietzman stilettos & a thong.
Maybe a splash of armpit hair.

Luckily the woke online army came to VS's side, though...YouBet said:I am shocked that the most famous lingerie brand in the world lost sales after replacing hot women with a militant, far left-wing lesbian and a man.Quote:
Cathaleen Chen reported that the brand's efforts to promote inclusivity which included making LGBTQ pro women's soccer player and outspoken leftist Megan Rapinoe, as well as a transgender woman, brand spokesmodels and getting rid of its famous "Angels" supermodels gained "favorable reviews from online critics [but] never translated into sales."
How could anyone have seen this coming?

The Bud Light fiasco is so great. I really hope other companies will learn from this and not go woke to begin with.Kenneth_2003 said:

Your models and corporate spokespeople should represent more than the fringe 0.001 of your customers
Yeah...that's the problem with the woke online army.

Victoria's Secret ditches prioritizing wokeness over 'sexiness' after sales drop
https://nypost.com/2023/10/18/victorias-secret-ditches-wokeness-over-sexiness-after-sales-drop/
Lingerie chain Victoria's Secret is reportedly ditching its woke, feminist makeover of recent years as it hasn't translated to business success.
Since the brand decided to move away from its "hyper-sexualized" image as BusinessOfFashion.com described it in a recent article Victoria's Secret has seen a significant revenue drop.
As such, it has looked to revamp itself and bring back "sexiness," the outlet noted in a piece that was also published by editorial partner CNN on Tuesday.
Cathaleen Chen reported that the brand's efforts to promote inclusivity which included making LGBTQ pro women's soccer player and outspoken leftist Megan Rapinoe, as well as a transgender woman, brand spokesmodels and getting rid of its famous "Angels" supermodels gained "favorable reviews from online critics [but] never translated into sales."
According to the numbers, the lingerie brand's projected revenue for 2023 is $6.2 billion, which is 5% lower than it was last year, and even lower than 2020, when the brand's revenue was $7.5 billion.
Chief executive Martin Waters also reportedly admitted that the inclusivity initiatives were not profitable for the company, stating, "Despite everyone's best endeavors, it's not been enough to carry the day."
According to BusinessOfFashion, the company's new goal is to "Improve profitability and cross back over $7 billion in annual sales." To meet this objective, the brand plans to roll out activewear and swimwear, update its existing stores and open up 400 new ones outside the United States.
The 90s were an amazing time to grow up. Even JCPenney catalogs had hotties.EX TEXASEX said:

Honestly, I don't think they had a majority of favorable reviews. Maybe 5.UAS Ag said:Yeah...that's the problem with the woke online army.

Don't buy the stock just yet. The VS brand guy remains confused. The NY Post quotes him saying:BBRex said:Quote:

Well, to be fair, so was the old goal. I think that was a polite way to say "we're ditching the plus-size models and confused dude and hiring hotties to be in our ads again." A person in her position can't just say that.
Such bull.Quote:
Victoria's Secret and Pink brand president Greg Unis summed up this new direction for the company, reportedly telling investors, "Sexiness can be inclusive." He explained that "Sexiness can celebrate the diverse experiences of our customers and that's what we're focused on."

I remember a lady poster on here a while back lecturing me about why putting fat / ugly / trannie models in lingerie is good business.
All I could do was laugh how wrong she was. People buy brand name clothing aspiring to look better, especially lingerie.
that 20% of American youth that now identify as something they were told they are, aren't going to dress themselves with tuck underwear.IndividualFreedom said:
Anybody wager against me that VS will have a tran-knee model advertised one year from now.
