2010 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Part 2

Some more observations in random order..



Anne Vyalitsyna (Anne V)

My girlfriend and I both expected to like the PINK and Heavenly Bodies segment best, but we actually liked the Country Girls sets second to PINK. Her, especially any with blue denim, like Lindsay Ellingson below, or paisley like Anne V above.



Now we're sort of jonesing to find her a bunch of gingham, paisley or denim panties, maybe with matching bras, like Lindsay's or even Maryna Linchuk's below.



And the blue boots. Not that she has any place to wear them (well, I can think of one place..), but my girlfriend wants those boots. OK, that entire costume. Did I mention she likes wearing Blue lingerie?



And, costume is the correct term. One very valid critique of Vicky's shows that seems rightfully louder each year is, who could actually wear anything seen in the shows? That's addressed in a great post by Treacle on her The Lingerie Addict blog (BTW, if by the off chance you're not reading it regularly, you should). Then again, I forgive the excesses since the show is selling fantasy entertainment - and in turn tons of knickers - but that's kind of their point. Think of it this way: it's a one-hour infomercial no one can say they really suffer through.

So, what could work as actual lingerie, and not just a costume?





How about this bra and panties set Candice Swanepoel wore during the Heavenly Bodies segment? Lose the Angel wings, and she's set. Or keep the wings and lose the bra and panties, and it's somebody's really strange dream sequence, but that's for a very different blog..



Neither of us were all that familiar with Martha Streck before her appearance on the runway, but afterward, we heart her, too. She even tweeted everyone a backstage pic:



Who Wore It Better? In this case the It being an orange bra?



Within minutes of each other, Karolina Kurkova or Adriana Lima?



I'm not sure what superhero Ms. Lima is supposed to be ('Soccer Mom'?) but I'll watch for the movie, 3-D or not..





Alessandra Ambrosio on why ruffle-butt panties can still be cute and hott at the same time - and not to be out-done:



Magdalena Frackowiak, proving even Akon can have a thankless job. That's him. To her right. On the stage. Oh, hadn't noticed him either, huh?



How about a front-flash from Lily Aldridge? They are trying to sell the panties, after all..



If you missed the show or just want to see it again, you're in luck. It'll be shown again this coming Wednesday, December 8th 8 ET on the CW. 8pm? Obviously not on ABC..



Good night, and drive safely! Call me!

I realize some people think the show jumped the shark long ago, but some of us look at it as a lot of fun (especially when they spend a little more time talking with the models as they did this year). That's cool - to each their own. If you want another take on the show, mainly from backstage, read this great post from the fine ladies at Frou Frou Fashionista blog. And check out our post next Wednesday for our vote for best addition to the show over the past two years. She really deserved those Angel wings.
