I totally agree! Yes, the Pink line is a way to get younger girls and teens to start shopping at Victoria's Secret, but hey, thats retail for you. Get the customer and build that brand loyalty! And really, these young girls who are shopping at VS go straight to Pink, and no where else. It's not like they're buying lingerie... They're just there for the sweats, hoodies, tees, bags, flip flops, etc. Sure, Pink has panties and bras, but like someone had already mentioned, hey, girls need these things too!

I think Victoria's Secret gets a little bit of unfair judgement at times. My dad was not at all pleased when I started working there. I guess understand why, he assumed Victoria's Secret = only lingerie = sex like many people do. Yes, Victoria's Secrets main products are bras and panties, but people forget that they also sell lounge wear, like what is sold in the Pink line, make up, perfume, hair care, regular pajamas, and now even sports wear. And heck, if you look at the catalogue, they have all kinds of clothes.

And for anyone who didn't believe me when I said I had become a giant VS tool after working there, this little speech show serve as even more proof. I'm not ashamed.

Aw...I had a feeling I wasn't the first to think of it...and I also had a feeling that it would never happen

Oh well, at least I have my Pink U of I stuff...along with half of the school lol

thank you!
i just feel like people are over analyzing what this brand "says" about the women who wear it. I don't think of VS as raunchy, trashy lingerie. I think of VS as classy, sexy, and feminine (this isn't Hustler people...)--and if that is what wearing the Pink line says about me...I'm completely fine with that.
