If Victoria's Secret's $2Million Bombshell Bra is a bit too rich for your blood, take a look at Candice Swanepoel's suggested alternative: their Limited-Edition Miraculous Push-Up Bra with only Swarovski 'Elements' encrusted on the bra, matching V-string or bikini panties, garter belt and matching stockings. At only $250 for the bra, $50 for the panties, $90 for the garter belt and $70 for the thigh-high stockings, that would leave you and Ms. Swanepoel $1,999,560 to play with for Christmas shopping (not counting tax). Knock yourself out. The 2010 VS Fashion Show will be filmed next Wednesday November 10th, but won't be seen on CBS until Tuesday November 30th with musical guests Katy Perry and Akon. We can only hope Ms. Perry goes along with her inner-lingerie model while choosing her wardrobe, much the way Fergie did last year.
By the way, if you wouldn't mind a free trip to the 2011 VS Show, through December 31st you can enter to win one. Fair warning: although I've made it policy not to enter any contests fellow-lingerie bloggers have or promote, this one will not count, so if my girlfriend and I can figure out how to stuff the ballot box, umm.. enter early and often, we intend to win this one or loose our fingers typing entries trying.
Hard to believe it's that time of year again already. There's a chill in the (North American) air, the leaves are starting to turn, stores are trying to figure out where to put all of their Christmas candy and garbage because the Halloween and Thanksgiving stuff is still clogging their aisles, and Victoria's Secret is gearing up for their 2010 Fashion Show, Tuesday, November 30th on CBS.
The opening salvo? The above photo of Angel Adriana Lima as the wearer of this year's VS Fantasy Bra (officially 'Bombshell Fantasy Bra'). She gets the honor this year of wearing $2 million in diamonds. You'd think they'd make a matching set of Bombshell Fantasy panties, but maybe they're trying to keep coasts down. Or, they realize she'd never be able to comfortably sit down if they did.
With Heidi Klum leaving her wings behind, and both Miranda Kerr and Doutzen Kroes pregnant and missing from this show, they'll have to be a bit more creative this year, but it does give models like future Transformers 3 star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley,Chanel Iman, Erin Heatherton a chance to shine a bit more along side the already stellar likes of Alessandra Ambrósio, Candice Swanepoel and Ms.Lima.
Edit for added info: This year's musical guests - Katy Perry and Akon!
