Hey Malingering- Wouldn't it be fun to post a picture of yourself for your next entry so we can make fun of you? Let's do it! Can you handle a dose of your own medicine? Give us a front a rear shot and let's go to town! Fun! We talk about how you look and what you're wearing, wow, the possibilities are endless!

i agree with the first post

"pussy inside needs a kiss"
you have just made me spit up my breakfast. thats hilarious.

"a new backpack for school with lots of pockets for highlighters"

I think we are soulmates

I hate to break it to you but 15 year old girls aren't that concerned about backpacks anymore. Though I don't think that everyone is running around boning like monkeys, 15 year olds are definitely getting naked around each other and want to wear something other than the girl form of tighty whiteys.
Is the PINK fad insanely stupid? Yes. Is a 15 year old girl experimenting with her own sexual expression insanely stupid? No.
Say hi to a 15 year old girl sometime. You might be pleasantly surprised by her intelligence...or she'll just run away screaming, either way. I'm a high school tutor and they're not always as dumb as you think.

First of all, if you read LAist, you make fun of people. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Second, can you believe that in a hundred years, we're gone from, basically full body underwear, wearing a hat every time you go out to...sweatpants and jeans that show your thong. It's not really a step forward, is it?

I always though that Pink was VS's way of maximizing on the Juicy trend.

And finally, I hate people who wear words on their asses.

The first two guests apparently haven't been to Mal's Flickr stream. Plenty of pix of the author to laugh over, some on purpose. :)

Another good article, speaking more truth than some people want to hear. Junior high kids should not be echoing vaginal marketing but that's what is in and has been since Madonna wandered around with her underwear on the outside... and I love the dischord of items not in the pale-red range being labelled Pink. Ce n'est pas une pipe.

Missing TypeKey already... « mushroom »

To CarrieM:

Not everything has to do with irony..they probably just didn't want to register.

It's like in the movie THEY LIVE. When you put on special sunglasses, you see the word SATAN. As in, "I live for SATAN." and "SATAN forever and ever and ever."

PS. Let me know when you want me to come over and do the tubal ligation. We just need some Vicodan, a pair of manicure scissors, and a shoelace.

god. reading your post made ME feel like i was 15 again, but with a much stricter mom and having to justify an interest in adorable undies. kids who care about clothes want to wear cute underwear. it doesnt mean they are having sex. it may mean they WISH someone was seeing them in their undies but what's wrong with that at age 15? seeing people in their undies doesn't always lead to sex, anyway. it's alllll part of growing up.
i think the clothes are ugly as fuck but if there weren't people out there WEARING these ugly as fuck clothes then we wouldn't have anything to talk about right? how boring that would be.

I hate Pink. Both the color and this stupid clothing line.

Why is it that most of clothing I see in this line is rarely pink?

Lemmings is right.

(and dammit, LAist, I can't sign in to comment! Bring back TypeKey!)

There's nothing wrong with spending all your money and your parent's money on cute undies! Fuck college and all that getting ahead crap!!! There's honor and dignity in any job that only needs you to be able to say, "Would you like fries with that?"

I have no status and no pride without the permission of my Corporate Masters--there is no finer statement than that.

I have to say that I worked at Victoria's Secret for 3 years as a manager and I have to laugh at this all. I actually ended up quitting because I had a better job Opportunity that would allow me to stay away from kids! I agree (along with many of my workers) that young girls recieve so much pressure to act older and fit in with the girls who are buying into this stuff. I also agree they should wait a few years before they walk into those VS doors. I hated to be the one to sell sexy panties and sleepwear to a girl that could not even drive. As for VS though. They are not these girls' mothers. My mother never bought me anything VS. Not even when i started working there. I see way too many mothers bringing their girls in and actually encouraging sexy panties. This sickened me. But with all this said, you have to give VS some serious credit. They launched this line and it has taken over the profit margin for them. Not only do they have people loving it, but they have tons of people hating it, no matter what side your on, you talk about it. That is the genious about it. The only bad publicity is no publicity. Remember that when you blog and complain.

im 18 and i think vs pink is just style of cloth. i wear vs pink sweats and panties, but i think your goin over board with the if its not pink why does it say pink thing, its just the name of the cloth line if u dont like it then dont buy it. u dont have to make up silly names about what pink stands for like "pink stands for pussy inside needs a kiss", your talking about how pink is some kind of sex clothing line and how kids shouldnt have sex or have dirty inaproprite clothing, when u come up with a thing like... "stands for pussy inside needs a kiss"
it seems to me your just some crzy bitch who cares way to much about what other people wear!

I have worked at Victoria's Secret for the past two years, and worked specifically in the Pink room. For those unaware, Victoria's Secret separates its sub-brands (Pink, Angels, Body by Victoria, etc.) by room. And honestly, all the points brought up in your blog entry, as well as the comments made in regards to it, I've heard it several times. And I just want to make a couple things clear for the record.

First off, you can only imagine how much I enjoy having to explain several times throughout my work shift that "Pink" refers to the brand rather than the color. It is beyond me why people will take the brand name so literally. I don't see people complaining that Wet Seal doesn't actually have anything to do with hosed down seals balancing beach balls on their noses. And if you look at it from a products and marketing stand point, it would be pretty ridiculous to create an entire line that only consisted of pink colored clothing because people want to take the brand name so literally.

Secondly, most things sold in Victoria's Secret are not for little teenage girls, and thats why it is not marketed to them. But of course, thats not going to keep them out of the store. So as a solution and also a way to gain a profit, Victoria's Secret created the Pink line. This way teens had a sub-brand specifically for their age group. The Pink line has lounge wear (can be both clothing or pajamas) with bright colors and cute prints. The bras are also made in smaller sizes for teen girls. Most of the bras in the Pink collection are basic t-shirt bras in either basic solid colors or cute prints. Sure, I'll find teens in other sub-brand rooms that probably aren't age appropriate for them, but I'll also find ladies in their 30's, 40's, 50's, and even 60's shopping in Pink (for themselves). We don't market for this to happen, but we have no control over it.

I hope this clarifies your qualms with Victoria's Secret and our Pink line. And for someone who does not shop at Victoria's Secret, and seems to have no knowledge of the company or its sub-brands other than seeing people wearing our products, I'd say either research what you're about to talk about or stick to things you actually know.
