Victoria's Secret (chromosome)
from Big Cigarette · host April Porteneuve, Leah Langford
Well cigs, we're grieving. Art is dead. Love is dead. But our vision is Krystal Klear. We bid farewell to some of our favorite couples this week so please be compassionate while we heal. As the Lord shuts the door on Ye-lia, he opens a window... it's a conference room... a group of marketing executives are huddled *silently* at the head of a white lucite table. Their faces bear varying degrees of desperation and concern, discomfort and wild-eyed resolve, as they regard a neat selection of photographs on the table. The karmic force of L Brands still lingers in the air, invulnerable to the rebranding, restaffing, refurnishing, realignment, Reiki, Rapinoe, REBIRTH of Victoria's Secret, Inc.... at last, one of them is compelled to break reticence: "Look, I understand this is a sensitive decision. There's a lot of complicated feelings, it's a minefield out there! So I understand the desire to just play it safe, I really do. But I want you folks to take yourselves out of the equation for a moment and I want you to think about the promise we made when we freed ourselves from corporate toxicity, reconnected with our core mission, and became an empowered independent company again. Victoria's Secret is about making women, and erm, female presenting persons feel beautiful! I don't know about you, but I see a beautiful woman in those pictures. I see a woman that deserves to have her dream come true. I don't want to play it safe! Where's the heart? Where's the commitment to What Women Want™? We can't let our own fears get in the way of making that girl's dream come true. What do you say, team?Let's fucking make history."Also we talk about Botox and TV and hype India. xoxohttps://www.instagram.com/bigcigarette_pod/
