Who is Victoria and what's her Secret?

Recently I have received 2 coupons for a free cotton panty at Victoria's Secret. Just today I got my Victoria's Secret 2008 Christmas catalog. Which makes me wonder if they have a Jewish version? That is not my point. First of all, the paper stock they use for this thing is heavy, and from my time in my father's printing shop, I know that is expensive. This is not the flimsy paper from your Land's End or FingerHut catalogs, this is the stuff diplomas are written on.

On the first pages inside, there a lots of pretty women in lingerie. I see the Wonder Bra is still going strong. Ooh, on pg. 17 I see you can get any 3 panties for $30. The nighty section is only two pages long sandwiched by bra and panty sets followed eventually by your more daring lingerie but not quite Frederick's of Hollywood. The rest of the catalog is filled with boring photos of women wearing coats and sweaters. For those of you keeping score at home, I like the pictures on pages 5, 9, and 13. You'll notice that those are in the front of the catalog in the lingerie section. In case you haven't figured this out... I'm a guy.

When I got home today I saw the Christmas catalog in my stack of mail, and my roommate assumed that I'd like to look at her catalog, since I'm a guy. Well, she was shocked to find out that it was sent to me. Yup. Right there on the back is my name and address, plain as day. Suck it.

I secretly love getting my Victoria's Secret catalog, and I love to know when they're having a bra event or perfume sale. But the best is when I get the cotton panty coupons. I give them to a lady friend of mine and it is completely non-sexual. I mean, I can't use it, and I don't leer at her and say, "I'd like to see you in it."

I did have a twinge today of calling them and asking to be taken off of their mailing list (I really have no idea how I got on this list), but I said to myself... embrace it. So that's what I'm going to do.

So if any of you ladies need a free cotton panty, you know where to look. Don't forget I'm a guy, and if you show me yours I'll show you mine.
