Did any of you watch the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show a
few nights ago? One hour of over the top
costumes intermingled with some A-list musicians. The venue was Shanghai, China. Perhaps a smart move considering that I have
heard that the lingerie market of China will soon double that of the United
States.
The perfect size two models demonstrate the fact that Victoria is not interested in broadening the idea of what is ultra feminine.

In my opinion the models were NOT scantily clad. If you wanted to see that, you needed to
watch the 2017 Miss Universe Bathing Suit competition on the 26th of last month.
The costumes overpowered whatever lingerie the models were
wearing. They were encrusted with gold, jewels, beading and feathers. The hours of hand work and cost of materials
was obviously of no concern. Shoes and
thigh length leg coverings were something to see, but not necessarily wear. The many "angel wing" interpretations of gold, silver, feathers, flowers and sparkles were bedazzling. To me the bejeweled Angels were a sight to
behold and
one hour of eye entertainment.
In reading the
reviews, the highlight of the evening was the slip and fall of the Chinese
model Ming Xi. The show is not televised
live, so why wasn’t the unfortunate
incident cut from the televised show? According to the Washington Post, “for producers, a model falling down is TV gold”.
(I did not include a picture of the "fall")
For whom is the fashion show extravaganza targeted? I’m not sure, but an estimated 800 million
people watched. Is it as relevant today as
it has been in the past? Only YOU can
answer that question.
