Victoria's Secret Has Your September Budget in Mind
Sexy has taken a backseat to saving in this economy. The majority of you would choose saving $50 more per week over having more sex, and the slip in Victoria's Secret's sales suggests that women aren't making lingerie a priority purchase. To remedy the hardship, the company plans on focusing on highs and lows in its upcoming sales strategy.
Super Bowl Bringing Sexy Back with Victoria's Secret
After an eight-year hiatus from Super Bowl advertising, Victoria's Secret will run a 30-second ad featuring Adriana Lima during the game's second half. I'm someone who's in love with her DVR because it means less commercials, but the Super Bowl is one time that I actually don't mind ads because they're usually pretty creative and funny. It's no wonder the lingerie company is reuniting their Angel's skin with pigskin.Victoria's Secret Doesn't Want to Be Too Sexy
Sharen Turney, chief executive of Victoria's Secret, has proclaimed that the brand has become "too sexy" and thinks the company should get back to its more sophisticated roots. The comments were made yesterday during a call with VS investors — the company had some explaining to do after reporting Wednesday a 12% decline in its fiscal fourth quarter net income. The chief executive said that the brand strayed from its "ultra-feminine" image and started overusing "sexy" after the release of their successful Pink line.Fantasy Gifts Get Made-Under
So maybe you weren't actually going to purchase the $20 million submarine for sale in the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog, but it doesn't hurt to look, right? Well, actually that may not be the case, anymore. In light of the recession, retailers are scaling back fantasy gifts traditionally offered around the holidays.
Last Minute Shoppers Should Wait Three More Days
Black Friday and Cyber Monday have come and gone, but there's one more shopping holiday before the official days of merriment arrive. Thursday, December 18, is the first ever FreeShipping day, organized by the website FreeShipping.org. While we're usually punished with premium shipping fees when we procrastinate, dozens of retailers have agreed to waive shipping fees when you shop online this Thursday.
Forbes Ranks Hollywood's Top-Earning Power Couples
If success is a turn-on, then the hot power couples in Hollywood must be lusting after each other to no end. These may be two-income households, but both halves can hold their own in millions. The jury is out on who tends to pick up the check, but Forbes has declared which pairs fit the bill as the top-earning couples in Hollywood.
Would You Rather Pay For Shipping Than Drive to the Mall?
It takes only one look at the double-digit increases in online sales for companies like Gap, Victoria's Secret, and J.C. Penney to know that more shoppers are going online than out to stores. Online retailers know that most customers are innately adverse to shipping costs, and have been able to capitalize on that knowledge by offering free shipping when the total purchase reached a certain dollar amount.
Would You Tell Your Bosses About Your Pole-dancing?
While pole-dancing workouts have become pretty mainstream with studios popping up in cities and suburbs everywhere, a 23-year-old personal assistant to bank executives was the subject of a Bloomberg news article titled, "Pole-Dancing Classes Lure Eager Women Bankers in City of London." There's no twist to this young woman's story, she's simply a pole-dancing instructor outside of her 9-to-5 job.
Described as a "statuesque blonde," Victoria Gibbs says that her bosses never ask if they can watch her perform: "No, they're very reserved: senior executive private bankers and the people I deal with are at the senior levels, so they've never asked anything untoward about my classes."
