Wicked Smart Women Know Victoria’s Secret is Best for Lingerie…

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.

What Makes a Wicked Smart Woman

A lot of things – send me what you think a Wicked Smart Woman is made of and I will put them on my blog!

1. Hates to say “no,” – but will
2. Works because she wants to; not because she “has” to
3. Takes care of herself first – it makes for a better caretaker for others
4. Looks at the price tag…and buys it anyway
5. Eats dessert
6. Marries for love despite the divorce rate
7. Isn’t afraid to be single
8. Knows a lot of great wines for less than $10.00 a bottle
9. Knows a good financial planner who’s not her spouse
10. Brings home the bacon, fries it up in a pan and never lets you forget she’s a (working) woman
