As Victoria’s Secret goes….: Trying to sell lingerie and wokeness at the same time
American Thinker ^ | 01/09/2023 | Silvio Canto Jr.

Posted on 01/09/2023 8:04:39 AM PST by SeekAndFind

As Victoria's Secret goes woke, so goes the bad fortune of its shareholders. This is the story:  

Victoria's Secret brand CEO Amy Hauk announced that she will be leaving the lingerie giant after a brief stint at the company. 

"Amy Hauk will be stepping down as CEO of Victoria’s Secret and PINK in order to spend more time with her family in Florida," the company said in a statement to Fox News Digital.  

The once-loved brand has had a tumultuous few years with an attempted rebranding that implemented "woke" policies like removing the iconic "Angels" models as well as the yearly fashion show.

In 2020, Victoria’s Secret announced that it would permanently close around 250 stores in the U.S. and Canada after considerable profit loss.

We wish Ms. Hauk a lot of fun with her family.  

Maybe she should take a little time to reread some of those business books about listening to and knowing your customers.   

In other words, men and women walk into these stores to buy lingerie and other stuff. It could be a husband like me looking for an anniversary gift. Or it could be a wife looking to surprise her husband coming home from a business trip. I never heard of anybody who went to Victoria's Secret to hear a political message. Never. I guess that politics and sexy lingerie are never in the same sentence.

It’s a blackmail racket run by Jeff Epstein’s benefactor with ties to secret service black ops groups. But we already knew that. I guess now they’ve gone to blackmailing faggots.

Ya mean they lost business because they didn’t incorporate package pouches into their frilly nighties for all of Brandon’s Trannies that are running things now?

I’ve been meaning to ask this - What exactly is Victoria’s Secret?

Well, your question can have two meanings, therefore two answers.

1. If Victoria had a secret, I don't know if it has ever been disclosed to the public.

2. The company with that name sells sexy intimate apparel for a woman to use to please her man in the bedroom. At least they used to. Who knows what their target audience is these days.

nekkid except for a white button down men’s dress shirt is pretty much going to do it for any guy.

There is nothing more attractive than a women fresh out of an early morning shower.

I don’t understand the whole mens dress shirt thing, though I have seen it represented in a movie or two.

It represents a women spending the night at a man's home for the first time in the relationship.

At the other end of that, you have a song that went viral last year from a woman who was bellyaching about how Victoria's Secret only caters to thin girls.

Yes, and it's always been that way. There's enough places that sells underwear, something that, at the end of the day, is only supposed to be seen by you and your husband anyway, in your size. Go there.

Victoria’s Secret is not for fat chicks, but woke pressure has forced them to “EXPAND” their selection.
