Speaking of inner whores, the holiday catalog from Victoria’s Secret arrived this week (and I’ll get about 100 more between now and the New Year; they waste a lot of trees). Aside from wondering who the hell ever buys the Fantasy Bra (which seems rather cheap this year @ $300.00 U.S.; in the past they’ve been millions of dollars – no kidding), it reminded me of another thing that Wicked Smart Women know…
You don’t actually wear the clothes from Victoria’s Secret unless you “work” in Vegas. I’m serious.
Some examples of clothes that simply don’t translate to good looks for women who weigh more than 85 lbs and live in the real world (where photo editors can’t make our thighs so teeny tiny):
Exhibit A
Great for the bedroom perhaps, if you’re into that sort of thing. Running to the grocery store? Not so much.
Exhibit B
Um, yeah, girls…this is hot but it’s not office attire, no matter what Vicki tells you.
Exhibit C
Okay just…. no….no…..no. I don’t care how hot you are this will ruin it.
Exhibit D
I’m pretty sure no one should wear this – ever.
Okay, realistically some of their sweaters and what not are cute and they have improved their clothing line. But remember Wicked Smart Women – knowing what looks good on you and having good taste is sexy, too.

Wait, Victoria’s Secret actually makes clothing that isn’t lingere? Hmm…
Regardless, most of the clothing pictured above is actually kind of ridiculous, and would probably look terrible on real women (you know, the kind that aren’t airbrushed and photoshopped until they look like little more than living mannequins).
There was a time when I would have thought these images were super hot (okay, I’ll admit, #1 is still pretty hot), but, these days, they mostly just annoy me.
This man’s opinion: a wicked smart woman dresses for her body type, not for what she thinks other people want women to look like.

ok, 1, 2 and 3 border on the absurd, but 4 works ok, if you’re under 25, from Brazil and living in South Beach
