Is the Victoria's Secret Catalog a Boy's Playboy?

Heather Maddan — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 04:00:28 PST

Eat your heart out Hugh Hefner! It's a boy's dream to get an exclusive invite to the Playboy mansion, but watching the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is a reality. Though a subscription to the bunny mag arrives in discreet wrapping, a guy still has to order it. On the other hand, the lingerie catalog is readily accessible if mom gets it in the mail. An acquaintance recently found one in her tween son's room and wasn't sure how to broach the subject since looking at bras isn't a big deal. What's your opinion?

Marisa Miller on Fitness and Ice Cream

FitSugar — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 11:45:00 PDT

Flip through any Victoria's Secret catalog and you'll see Marisa Miller's gorgeous face and body gracing the pages. Marisa has always been one of my favorite models, I think it's because of the freckles, but it could be her amazing body, either way I was thrilled to see her on the cover of Fitness Magazine this month.
Miller opens up to Fitness about her, well, fitness. She also reveals her weakness, which will resonate with a lot of us. Here are highlights:

On why she exercises: “I’m comfortable with the curves I have. I like having a woman’s body . . . It’s not like I’m exercising to be skinny - I’m the girl who needs curves. I like my butt and boobs!”

Miller’s workout secrets: “I’ve tried everything. I love surfing: it’s spiritual and physical . . . I also like Spinning. It’s good toning for your rear and legs. I'll put in one of my favorite Guns N’ Roses music video DVDs and start pedaling. I find it’s so much easier to work out when I can distract myself with something visual.”

On her biggest dietary weakness: “Definitely ice cream.”

On what she stays away from-most of the time: “Processed stuff….Recently, I came back from a long trip and [my husband had] gone grocery shopping-which was nice, but it was all TV dinners and Cap’n Crunch. I said, ‘Honey, is there a fruit or vegetable anywhere in the house?’ And he’s like, ‘I got canned peaches!’ God bless him, but he doesn’t make it easy for me.”

Victoria's Pink Carpet

PopSugar — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 09:15:38 PST

Hot Hollywood came out to check out the latest lingerie from the Victoria's Secret gorgeous girls. The fashion show at Hollywood's Kodak Theater was clearly the place to be last night. Even Jason Biggs made an appearance. Where has he been lately? It's nice to see him out and about again - looks like he was being a jokester as usual. Even though the carpet was pink, clearly red was the popular color. Check out Nicole Richie and the lovely Kate Walsh in their red hot dresses.

For the sexy show, it was only appropriate that JT brought his SexyBack on the catwalk with the ladies. Stay tuned... more pics to come from Justin's performance soon. In the meantime, lots more pics including Gisele Bundchen, Ciara, Karolina Kurkova, Kristin Cavallari, Alyssa Milano and a few guys too so

How Sports Illustrated Cover Girl Kate Upton Stays Healthy and Fit

Michele Foley — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:48:16 PST

After being named the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition's "Rookie of the Year" in 2011, Kate Upton is this year's cover girl! The five-time equestrian champion has showed off her curves in campaigns for big names like Guess, Victoria's Secret, and Dooney & Burke. On being fit, Kate told The Daily, "It's really important to stay slim for the industry . . . but you still want to have a body." Here's the scoop on how Kate maintains her model curves.

Kate's fitness regimen: Like many of the industry's top models, Kate trains with former competitive swimmer Justin Gelband. Justin told Shape that he "incorporates multidirectional exercises" into Kate's training sessions. To keep things fresh, Justin changes up the types of workouts he and Kate do together (Pilates and kickboxing are favorites) and uses a variety of equipment like medicine balls and exercise bands.
Kate's diet: For Kate, it's all about living a healthy lifestyle. Kate has said in several interviews that it's important for her to watch what she eats, but she doesn't go on any sort of special diet to prepare for a shoot or runway show. Her splurge? The occasional treat of ice cream or french fries.

Don't be afraid to wear red: "Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday so I love to get dressed up with a red dress, heels - the whole thing. I'm a little cheesy that way, but I love it." - Lindsay Ellingson
Slip something sexy underneath: "Whatever I wear, I would wear something super sexy underneath, like a lace corset or a garter slip because just knowing you have it on makes you feel confident and sexy." - Doutzen Kroes
There's nothing wrong with playing up your assets: "I haven't figured it all out yet, but it has to be something tight and sexy, like this [Hervé Léger bandage dress]." - Adriana Lima

Kate Upton Is Sports Illustrated's Sexy New Swimsuit Issue Cover Star!

Lauren Turner — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:09:07 PST

Kate Upton donned a little white dress to unveil her new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover in NYC today. A huge billboard of the cover on display in Times Square features Kate in a skimpy bikini with a sexy smile on her face. She later headed to The Late Show for her first official appearance as an SI star. Nineteen-year-old Kate follows in a long line of ladies to be honored with the coveted spot, including Brooklyn Decker, Bar Refaeli, and Irina Shayk. Kate was featured in last year's Swimsuit Issue wearing a painted-on bikini, and has also modeled for Victoria's Secret.

Adriana Lima and Her Fellow Angels Get a Valentine's Day Head Start

Allie Merriam — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:56:06 PST

Adriana Lima was in a festive mood this morning at a Victoria's Secret event in NYC. Along with her fellow Angels Doutzen Kroes and Lindsay Ellingson, Adriana helped launch their Valentine's Day campaign. The holiday has translated into a lot of work for Adriana. She starred in one of the most memorable - and controversial - Super Bowl spots. Her Teleflora flowers ad was called out by some game watchers for being sexist and too racy. Adriana Lima's Valentine's Day plans, which aren't set in stone yet, weren't affected by the Teleflora furor. Whatever she does, she plans to look great. She told us, "I haven't figured it all out yet, but it has to be something tight and sexy."

Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio Go Calendar Girl For VMAN

Allie Merriam — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:53:29 PST

Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio were among the models selected by guest editor Carine Roitfeld for a spread in VMAN. Their new issue hits newsstands next Tuesday, Feb. 14. The girls, along with ten other models, including Adriana Lima, Doutzen Kroes, and Chanel Iman, did a pinup shoot made to look like the 12 pages of a calendar. It was a reunion of sorts for some of the ladies, like Adriana, Alessandra, and Miranda, who are all Victoria's Secret Angels. Miranda is currently Down Under with her family, while Alessandra is taking a hiatus from her Angel duties while pregnant. Adriana, though, stepped out earlier this week for a VS Valentine's Day event and told us about what she and husband Marko Jaric have planned for the big day.

Click through to see Miranda, Adriana, and more models, like Lily Donaldson, Joan Smalls, and Izabel Goulart.

Does Kate Upton Bring a Healthier Body Image to Victoria's Secret?

OnSugar — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 12:20:43 PDT

OnSugar blog The Fash Pack raises an interesting question about Victoria's Secret's attempt to portray a healthier image. Read what she has to say and tell us what you think!

Meet Kate Upton, the Victoria's Secret model who's charged with bringing a healthier, more attainable body image to the lingerie brand. Just last week, model Candice Swanepoel was criticized for looking "shockingly thin" at an event (even though she's never exactly been on the heavy side), and other Angels have previously been known to cut out food groups and work out for two hours a day for months before the Victoria's Secret runway show.

These photos of Upton, an 18-year-old and former Sports Illustrated swimsuit-issue model, just came out this week, allegedly showing that Victoria's Secret can be for people with more realistic shapes. What do you think? Does it bring a change to the brand?
