Victoria's Secret, the lingerie firm that narrowly escaped total collapse recently, has decided that there was a basic flaw in what they were presenting in their skimpy skivvies stores. See, most women don't come close to matching the body perfection of the traditional VS models in their catalog. Obviously, the answer is a bold new direction: bigger women in the catalog, bigger undies on the store shelves. VS wants to be an advocate for female empowerment. "We need to stop being about what men want and to be about what women want."
Will this mean the end of the scanty Victoria Secret brochure in favor of one that weighs in like a 13 lb Sears catalog? With a model of the month so big that her special page unfolds like a road map?
The raft of new female executives is quick to assure disappointed males out there, that the company will still sell products like thongs, but these will be more generously sized. Instead of being rated as a sizzling "X," they will now lean more toward "XXXXL". In other words, if a plus sized lady brings home a thong, it can be "power shared" with her spouse. She uses it as underwear one day and he uses it as a hammock the next.
The more enlightened of the corporate staff admit that the "new direction" is a risk, like taking the V8 muscle engine out of a Corvette, and replacing it with one from a Smart Car. But they are convinced that the woke version of Victoria's Secret is what women want. Said Eugenia Franklin, of the VS design section, "I used to be a man, with all that extra baggage. Now, I'm a woman, in charge of the Chaz Bono swimwear line I call "Stampede," which will echo the sound of men storming off the beach, when the Chaz suits hit the Victoria's Secrets outlets."
