Catching Up on July Reading - Part 2: Marisa Miller in Lingerie for Maxim

In the July 2008 issue of Maxim Marisa Miller talks about topping their Hot 100 of 2008.



While she's flattered, she doesn't seem to take it all too seriously.



The great thing is, while Ms. Miller has always been rightfully celebrated for her many swimsuit photos, this issue adds something woefully needed in the photographic world: More pictures of Marisa Miller in Lingerie.



The cans here don't quite to the stunning photography justice, but the original photos in the issue are by Stephan Würth.

Go Outside And Play In Your Panties - Saturday: Marisa Miller

The readers of FHM decreed Marisa Miller to be the Sexiest Woman In The World for 2010.



If it means more photos of this woman known for swimsuits in lingerie instead, we're all for it. Not that we're complaining, but as to why they put a Victoria's Secret model in Agent Provocateur, you'd have to ask them.

Thanks for enjoying the great outdoors in very little over the past week. Monday, we start year five in and out of doors, but definitely in lingerie.

Victoria's Secret 2009 Fashion Show, Part 2

PINK Angel Behati Prinsloo, and Angels Marisa Miller, VS Fashion Show Host Heidi Klum, Doutzen Kroes, Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio at the Finale.

The storied Lexington Armory in New York City played host to the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. You might think between this post and part one we would have covered all we wanted to; just not possible. I actually removed a few pictures from this post to save for the future. Picking up where we left off on Wednesday, more from the show, broken down by the themed segments, starting with:

PINK Planet


PINK Angel Behati Prinsloo says hello and starts off the segment that was just plain fun.


Australian Abbey Lee Kershaw's yellow PINK panties (it all makes sense) asked for attention, and succeeded in getting it.


Both my girlfriend and I got the impression Ms. Kershaw had a bit more of a role in this year's show, which we thought added value.


Elyse Taylor seemed to have a pre-designed wardrobe.. function(?) to show off more of her pink PINK panties as she got further down the runway


Shannan Click demonstrated the power of PINK

Enchanted Forest


The wonders of nature, as displayed by Doutzen Kroes



Out of all the ensembles in this section, I liked Miranda Kerr's the most. And it gives you one great excuse to drop that old line, 'Excuse me, Miss, do you have the time?'



My girlfriend was torn between Miranda Kerr's outfit and this vision in green worn by Philadelphia's Sessilee Lopez. Did I mention my girlfriend is tall (5'8.5")? And she likes boots. And she now wants Ms. Lopez's(5' 10") boots. I'm all for it, if they come with the matching bra and panties, and we'll skip the jewelry.


Lindsay Ellingson has the answer to your Red Riding Hood fetish - and the 'keeping the wolves at bay' may be a cliche, but if she's undressed like this, it still works.


Australian Abbey Lee Kershaw's outfit seemed.. 'Pheasant-y'?.



My girlfriend and I especially liked some of the print designs in this segment, like the above bra and thong bikini panties worn by Tatiana Kovylina.



The amazing I-just-had-a-baby-weeks-ago - Again! - Heidi Klum served as host once more, and made a bit more than a cameo appearance on the runway. Missing from the show, but for the same very great reasons, Adriana Lima and Karolína Kurková gave birth to a baby girl and boy, repsectively, shortly before the show's actual date of filming November 19th at the Armory in New York City (Ms. Kurvova October 29th; Ms. Lima November 16, each joining the ranks of VSMs - more on each in future fufL posts).

Romantic Journey



Ms. Ambrosio answers the question, 'How the hell do you get that lingerie through the metal detector at the airport?'


Maryna Linchuk of Belarus looks like a sun goddess. If she'd been around ages ago, we could have blamed her for melting Icarus' wings..


To be clear, we're both fans of Ms. Ebanks, but I like this a bit better than my girlfriend, who asked if she was was going fly fishing in that vest. Can you guess what one of my girlfriend's Dad's hobbies may be..?


Doutzen Kroes feather-light decorations went well with her feather-light bra and panty set


Cupid, meet Marisa Miller; Marisa Miller, meet Cupid



Say hello to Kylie Biscutti. The only part of the show my girlfriend and I weren't too crazy about was how they handled the competition to choose a new 'Runway Angel'. ('Angel Boot Camp'? Really?) Especially after the girl we both originally voted for on-line was eliminated almost immediately. The whole 'reality show-within-the-fashion-show' was a bit of a turn-off for us. We weren't going to bother to cast another vote, but decided to anyway. No offense to runner-up Jaimeelee Darley, but we both chose Kylie. It was something about her.. eyes - believe it or not - that we liked, and her slightly unpolished demeanor. Here's hoping she really gets a chance to do more with Vicky's.

It would have been nice to include all 35 or so models who appeared in this year's show, but all good things must come to an end - even if the framing on the CBS broadcast version of the show didn't clue you in to the full (or less than full) extent of Miranda Kerr's last bra and panties set - but it's a fitting, and certainly fit end:



Lingerie, underwear, Victoria's Secret, Fashion Show, 2009, Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Miranda Kerr, Marisa Miller, Sesilee Lopez, Tatiana Kovylina, Lindsay Ellingson, Behati Prinsloo, Heidi Klum, Elyse Taylor, Maryna Linchuk, Selita Ebanks, Shannan Click, Kylie Biscutti, bra, panties, high heels,

Marisa Miller's $3 Million Fantasy (Bra)

You can tell Christmas is coming. Almost all the stale Halloween candy in the stores is sold out, the same stores have had their Christmas decorations up for about 4 months, and Marisa Miller has her decorations up for the season encased in Victoria's Secret's $3 million Fantasy Bra.



This year's Hess toy truck for lingerie lovers is The Harlequin Fantasy Bra, designed exclusively for Vicky's by Damiani. It's valued at (only!) $3 Million, and has a rare, 16-carat heart-shaped champagne diamond pendant and more than 2,350 brilliant-cut white, champagne and cognac-colored diamonds. The diamonds total nearly 150 carats.



It's based on their Very Sexy Plunge Multi-Way bra, and took the designers 800 hours to make it, hand-setting each diamond. The design is supposed to remind you of the Angel wings. The research alone took 100 hours.. and if Ms. Miller was involved, I'd like to know how much the researchers had to pay to be allowed to work on the project.



This is the first time Marisa has been given the honor of wearing the Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra on the runway in The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Tuesday, Dec. 1 at 10/9C on CBS.

Undressed Rehearsal: Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2008

Several of the Victoria's Secret Angels gathered in New York at the beginning of the month for lingerie fittings in preparation for this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Angel Marisa Miller has been fitted with invisible Angel wings, or a really good imagination.



Why is it you never see some jobs listed in the Employment section of the paper?



Newest Angel Doutzen Kroes is apparently trying out for the road show of a musical based on Xena, Warrior Princess. Amazing how Gabby's costume still keeps shrinking..



Red and green- she's Christmasy enough.



Miranda Kerr with her invisible wings..




..and her visible wings..



Host Heidi Klum continues that Xena theme.. or a different type of Heidi..



You can see Ms. Klum and all the other Victoria's Secret Angels and Angels-In-Waiting in (or mainly out of) costume December 3rd on CBS from the show's new location this year at Miami's reborn Fontainbleau Hotel.

[psst: Now, you and I both know it was filmed last weekend, and, yeah, you can already see photos from it on a ton of other blogs around the net. Call me old-fashioned when it comes to watching major spectacles with gorgeous models parading around in lingerie and over-the-top gaudy accents, but I write my post of the show after watching it in real-time with my girlfriend.. if we're not otherwise occupied afterward.. so look for the Lingerie Blog account of the pictures and descriptions just after midnight as the December 4th post..]

Happy 10th foursome Bodies By Victoria

For the 10th anniversary of the Body By Victoria line, Californian Lindsay Ellingson and Brazil's Emanuela de Paula joined Victoria's Secret 'veterans' Alessandra Ambrosio and Marisa Miller
on a promotional tour.



The ladies also announced this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be in New York City. I really don't see The Early Show on CBS all that much; maybe I should watch more often..






There's also a contest involved: If you didn't pay attention to that on the CBS clip, watch this one. There may be a quiz later. Or you may win something. Or you may just really really enjoy the video..
