10 Reasons Why Victoria's Secret Sucks

By Sidra Roberts

I'm playing Frank-N-Furter in AggieCon's production of Rocky Horror Picture Show. I had to wander into the store of the devil in order to find a plain black garter belt to go with my costume, and I was led to the conclusion that Victoria's Secret is indeed an evil store. Here's why:

  1. Their color scheme looks like it was created by Matel for Barbie.
  2. I wandered around the store looking lost for twenty minutes, and no one came to help me.
  3. I had to get in the check out line in order to get someone to help me.
  4. They hide their garter belts so well that even they have no idea where they are.
  5. They stand surrounded by a display of lacy thongs and look at you like you're a freak when you ask them to help you find a plain black garter belt.
  6. They have trouble understanding that pink and black is not the same as red and black.
  7. I looked at their underwear and noticed they were horribly over priced. They want 6 bucks for a pair of cotton undies. PLEASE! I buy Sporty Bikini Cut underwear by Hanes for 4 to a pack for $5.45 at Wal-Mart.
  8. When you check out they hand you this conspicuous pink and white bag that just SCREAMS I went naughty lingerie shopping.
  9. If you're unlucky, they spray the tissue paper they wrap your purchase in with one of their signature frangrances.
  10. And last but certainly not least after having to wait twenty minutes and have them look at you like you're a freak for wanting a black garter belt, they have the gaul to ask you in a perkily sweet voice if that's all you were looking for?
