Victoria’s Secret hires Megan Rapinoe in rebrand

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/18/2021 12:35:52 AM

Football star Megan Rapinoe and actress and producer Priyanka Chopra Jonas are joining Victoria's Secret in what the lingerie giant is calling a "dramatic shift" for the brand. They are among several new faces who will help promote the brand which is best known for its lingerie-clad models known as Angels. Victoria's Secret still generates billions of dollars in sales. However, its hyper-sexualised image has fallen out of fashion in recent years. Ms Rapinoe and Ms Chopra Jonas will form part of "The VS Collective" a group of women who will work with the company on "collaborations, business partnerships and cause-related initiatives".

I haven't bought anything at Victoria's Secret in many, many years -- and that was a gift for a young lady who was getting married. So the fact that this is a horrible idea really doesn't effect me. You can't boycott a company you don't shop at to start with. But we used to get Subway at least once or twice a week. We haven't been there since they hired this terrible America-hating bull dyke as their spokes-thing. And I can't see us going back. We just realized that we really didn't like it all that much when we were eating there regularly.

There's so many easy jokes for this one but the big joke is on the VS Board and investors. Get woke, go broke. Hiring this hateful, vicious, anti-human is a terrible mistake they'll pay for in every market they show her face or use her name. Pretty stupid.

TK and I had a lot of fun shopping at Victoria's Secret when we were newlyweds. (I wonder what happened to that red corset and matching elbow length gloves? Things get lost after 33 years.) The Woke Left is determined to wipe out the marital embrace and the resulting families. The destruction of the black family is their template for whites, Hispanics and Asians so their subjects are beholding only to the state. They have already given our wider society abortion, no-fault divorce, working mothers and un/under employed fathers. Normal heterosexual couples are derided as "cis" and unfashionable, while every sexual deviancy that once graced the DSM is heralded as liberating and more personally fulfilling than a limiting and stuffy marriage. Destroying the family is the most efficient way to destroy a society; witness the change between the black community of the 1950s and the post Great Society mayhem of today. Victoria's Secret customers will no longer be men shopping for wives and lady friends, but men shopping for themselves. Instead of women shopping for husbands and gentlemen friends, women will be shopping for other women. Will they will have a section for those that identify as neither? It would be better for Victoria's Secret to lock the doors. At least then we could say, "Thanks for the memories."

I guess not enough angry lesbians were buying overpriced, cheaply made, uncomfortable bras? Haven't bothered with them since my 20's and I went to a real women's undergarment store and was properly fitted by a professional, which every woman should do. VS are the worst bras ever for any woman past training bra volume. Skinny straps, no support, and very uncomfortable. All show and no real value.

Somehow, I don’t think if I were to see Ms Rapinoe (or some guy who wants to think he’s a girl) in lingerie (not really interested in that), it would compel me to think that my spouse would look good in that outfit. Do you think it’s a contest to see if any company can figure out how to break through the “get woke, go broke” pattern we’ve seen? Every time one of these companies does this it ends badly for them, yet it seems there is always another one lined up to try again. Stupid is as stupid does.

I've never purchased anything from Victoria's Secret before because it was so expensive and looked so uncomfortable to me. Like was previously said, you can't boycott a store you never shopped at. However, I used to eat at Subway. However, they don't yet have a gluten-free roll so they are off the list. I prefer Firehouse and Jersey Mike's anyway.

Good news, everyone. Freezing lethal aid to Ukraine in order to thwart Russia is now good again. All it took was Donald Trump leaving office. Weird, right? I know, politics often mimics parody, but this is a bit much. When was that aid frozen? You guessed it, right after Biden met with Vladamir Putin. Prior to that meeting, the Russian Defense Minister had said they would pull troops back that had been stationed near the Ukrainian border. That hasn’t actually happened, though, so why would Biden make this move after meeting with Putin? But despite Russia’s announcement, a top Ukrainian official said in May that about 100,000 Russian troops were still near

Ron DeSantis. In a 124-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday of the Middle District of Florida said the agency’s “conditional sail order” — a framework of regulations dictating how cruises can restart in the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic — can remain in place for Florida cruises only until July 18, granting DeSantis’ request for a preliminary injunction while the full case moves forward. After July 18, the rules will turn into non-binding

In January, standing on the steps of the Capitol, President Joe Biden warned of "an attack on democracy." In April, standing inside the House chamber, Biden declared that the only way to restore the country's soul was "to protect the sacred right to vote." And earlier this month, standing on what was once Black Wall Street where as many as 300 Black people were murdered in 1921 by a white mob in Tulsa, Okla., Biden said he'd "fight like heck" to "combat the new assault on the right to vote." But next week, when the Senate takes up Democrats’ signature elections bill designed to expand voting access, it will fail.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Thursday that he hopes "all Republicans" will oppose the proposal from Manchin, D-W.Va.,, at a press conference that was designed to show Republican unity against S.1. "It still turns the Federal Election Commission (FEC) from a judge into a prosecutor by taking away the three-three balance and making it 3-2 Democratic," McConnell said.

There was this tongue bath that CNN’s Jeff Zeleny was part of writing that we reported on earlier. Traveling across Europe for the past week, Biden found his reputation as a foreign policy wiseman preceded him — even at Windsor Castle, whose occupant has met her share of world leaders. It was evident at nearly every stop along the way that after five months

Yesterday, I wrote on the extreme left’s efforts to pervert the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, arguably one of the most influential and celebrated authors of the western world. The reason, I wrote, was that twisting and perverting the tales of Middle Earth isn’t just because they hate Tolkien (whom they think is racist), but because they know his work is influential and want to utilize that influence to sell people on their ideas. Tolkien’s work is hardly the first successful property the extreme left has tried to appropriate, and it definitely won’t be the last. That’s because the left has to appropriate the work of others…these ideas can’t find success

The US Supreme Court unanimously ruled on Thursday in favor of a Catholic child welfare organization, saying the charity has a right to decline to place foster children with same-sex couples. Catholic Social Services sued the City of Philadelphia after it informed private agencies that provided foster care services that it would not refer children to the agencies unless they agreed to nondiscrimination requirements. Catholic Social Services argued that it had the right to opt-out of the nondiscrimination requirement, citing the First Amendment. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that Philadelphia cannot force the charity to certify same-sex couples as foster parents, saying the rule violated their First Amendment rights.

Newsmax released an article this week that gives voice to further distrust of America’s once-premiere law enforcement agency.

Two questions lobbed at the FBI are both haunting and disheartening: “What did the FBI know? And when did they know it?” The fact that the agency responsible for investigating the lawlessness of that date is itself under scrutiny is alarming.
