Victoria’s Secret disappears from my closet…

November 11, 2008 – 4:49 pm by Patricia


As popular as Victoria’s Secret bras are (and yes, I own a good number of them), there are some downsides to owning a VS bra.

  1. They are cut for women whose breasts point straight forward. Most Asians and petite women have perky breasts, but, in addition to this, they most likely they don’t stand at attention facing your 12 o’clock. Sorry. It’s more like 11:05… using both hands of the clock. HA HA!
  2. They never have my size. Don’t hate on the A Cups, VS. It hurts my pride and makes me feel little. In more ways than one.
  3. There is formaldehyde in them.

Wait, what was that last one? Formaldehyde?! Yes, according to ABCNews.com, some women have reported getting “rashes, hives, and permanent scarring.” There have been enough claims that a class action lawsuit is being considered. Fancy that — the world’s most famous bras make me itch.

Personally, I haven’t had a problem with mine, but Item #1 on my list is enough to make me switch. What do I enjoy wearing? Wacoal. The padding on a VS bra is shit compared to Wacoal, which is fitted more accurately to the body of petite Asian women. I love my Wacoal bras. Plus they don’t give me rashes.

No, you aren't what I really wanted.

The aubergine tights arrived. And brown. The brown boots and Jessica Simpson pumps are going back to the store.

They were poor excuses for what I really wanted, which is a dark brown heeled ANKLE bootie and a black NON-patent leather peep-toe ankle bootie. Not a pump.

I hate it when I lie to myself when I go shopping. I say to myself, “Yes, Patricia, you will find something in your closet to wear with these. They are adorable!” And then I go home, only to crush all hopes and dreams for these new items and to realize that I was fooling myself.
