Victoria’s Secret has sent its angels packing in a monumental rebranding that replaces the supermodels with a group of seven “women famous for their achievements,” including U.S. soccer star and activist Megan Rapinoe.
The New York Times reported that Victoria’s Secret will now be represented by a group called the VS Collective, comprised of “women famous for their achievements and not their proportions.”
In addition to Rapinoe, the collective includes 17-year-old Chinese American freestyle skier Eileen Gu, size 14 model “and inclusivity advocate” Paloma Elsessor, Indian actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Brazilian trans model Valentino Sampaio, model and South Sudanese refugee Adut Akech, and Amanda de Cadenet, “the photographer and founder of #Girlgaze, the digital platform for female photographers.”
When the news hit Twitter, people overwhelmingly predicted doom for Victoria’s Secret over their decision. “How To Destroy Your Brand 101,” one person wrote, with a laughing emoji. Another tweeted, “Hoooboy. RIP @VictoriasSecret.” Someone else replied, “reading the tweets seems like vast vast vast majority is hating this decision lol We can add Victoria secret bankruptcy list for 2022.”
Although Victoria’s Secret had expressed that their aim was to appeal to women, not all women are on board with the new plan.
One woman tweeted, “Men like to look at the Angels. Women hope to look like the angels in the overpriced stuff you sell. Megan Rapinoe has no place in this scenario, ever, at all. Just incredible stuff here.”
The new Lines of style and sizes are; Jumbo, Large and loud, Mild Liberal, Liberal and loving it, Small Idiot, and the last one Tiny Brain Democrat.

I don’t know what kind of women you date but I don’t do the 70’s porn muff. That’s been out of style for over 25 years!
They sold sex appeal.
Lingerie and clothes to make women feel and look sexy in order to attract MEN.
They just shot themselves in the foot, and the leg, and the head.
A couple of corporate executives trying to kiss the ace of the strangest and weirdest to show the world how “woke” they are. What’s ahead for them? BANKRUPTCY.
