Is that really necessary?

The Victoria’s Secret Semi-Annual Sale started today, which means that I am constantly bombarded with commercials featuring women 6 feet tall that probably weigh less than I do. My boyfriend, of course, loves these commercials. I, on the other hand, could do without and frequently change the channel whenever I hear their soft-core porn music start. Now, I love Vicky’s, and I generally feel just fine about myself, but really, who the hell are they marketing to? Most women are aware of the fact that buying a particular bra isn’t going to make them look like Giselle, and looking at these girls makes a lot of women feel like trolls. So are they marketing to the men in their lives? A lot of guys I know don’t really buy lingerie for their girlfriends. If they buy it a size too big, this is problematic, whereas if it’s a size too small the girl might assume that they’re trying to give them a hint. So while I’ll probably drop a fair amount at my friendly neighborhood Vicky’s over the next year, I could do without the commercials. Unless of course I wake up tomorrow morning weighing 110 pounds and having grown 5 inches.
