On Thursday, it was reported that the Victoria’s Secret “Angels,” which are a stable of the women’s underwear and lingerie brand, were being nixed in the name of social justice and being replaced by transgenders and social justice warrior soccer star Megan Rapinoe.
PJ Media quotes the NY Times:
The Victoria’s Secret Angels, those avatars of Barbie bodies and playboy reverie, are gone. Their wings, fluttery confections of rhinestones and feathers that could weigh almost 30 pounds, are gathering dust in storage. The “Fantasy Bra,” dangling real diamonds and other gems, is no more.
In their place are seven women famous for their achievements and not their proportions. They include Megan Rapinoe, the 35-year-old pink-haired soccer star and gender equity campaigner; Eileen Gu, a 17-year-old Chinese American freestyle skier and soon-to-be Olympian; the 29-year-old biracial model and inclusivity advocate Paloma Elsesser, who was the rare size 14 woman on the cover of Vogue; and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, a 38-year-old Indian actor and tech investor.
Rapinoe, a harsh critic of 45th President Donald Trump, kneeled for the National Anthem, and now “woke” companies, Victoria’s Secret included, are trying to cash in on the soccer star’s far-left politics to sell its products.
“Of course there will be people who are like, ‘Does this make sense?’” said Ms. Rapinoe, who acknowledged that when she was first approached, “I, too, was like, ‘What? Why do you want to work with me?’” She said she had been convinced by the willingness of the brand’s executives to acknowledge their mistakes and history, and by the fact that her role is not limited to the typical “brand ambassadorship,” but extends to consulting on language the company uses, the assortment of products it offers and narrative it’s putting out.
NBC’s TODAY reports:
The new initiative, called The VS Collective, seems like a 180-degree turnaround for Victoria’s Secret, tapping a diverse array of women that also includes transgender model Valentina Sampaio. She also made history last year, becoming the first trans model to appear in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
this will go over just like “be less white” Coke.
I hope they don’t ever sell another piece of their overpriced 💩💩
Say goodbye to Victoria Secrets and mindless wackos such as Megan Rapinoe.
Once you understand what the term “Victoria’s Secret” is really about, and who Les Wexner really is, everything becomes clear. It was always about this from the beginning. The pretty girls were just something to hide it all.
Les Wexner is a friend of Jeffrey Epstein and the clintons. There is so much more to all of this.
I certainly will never step foot in their stores ever again!
Victoria Secrets is useless crap!
Who are the morons that buy their Chinese garbage?
LOL
personally I am disgusted by this Rapinoe character.. ck out “its” family and upbringing.. white trash and libtard in one…
Victoria’s Secret is going the WRONG way. CEO claims it is not longer about men want but what women want. Men like to see their wives and girlfriends in sexy lingerie. I have been a loyal customer now for 35 years. The reason sales went down is because the merchandise is made cheaper but still costs a lot. I am finding bras don’t fit as well as they used to. At one time some of their lingerie was beginning to look like something you bought from Frederick’s of Hollywood. Products are looking better now. PINK looks like they are going toward men’s wear with the boyshorts. But maybe that was a transgender that was wearing those in a ad. When did Victoria’s Secret cater to men with men’s fragrances? or maybe that is for the woman that or man that keep figure what they are I do NOT like the idea that you should love the body you have when you are heavily obese. It is gross looking at a very obese women in a skimpy bikini. At least put something on her that looks decent if you are going to cater to woman of all body shapes. Pink is also showing it is ok to have teenagers that are obese. Obesity is NOT healthy just like skinny (anorexia) is not. If VS keeps going this direction, they may find they lost a customer and I most likely wil not be the only one.
Victoria’s Secret ads featuring Megan in her undies? I don’t think it’ll sell.
Victoria’s Secret will not get another penny of my family’s money. They are history to me.
