Elephants and Pigs at Victoria's Secret

I spent some time in the Victoria's Secret flagship on Herald Square last week, focusing on the nightie looks. I was drawn first to the designer collection (go figure) which I 'll show tomorrow, but I couldn't pass up the Betsey Johnson Intimates. I didn't even know Victoria's Secret sold Betsey Johnson lingerie, and this line will not disappoint the Betsey customer. It may, however, depress a few Democrats:









The elephant thong! Expecting to then see a donkey thong, I instead spotted:









A piggy thong? Hmm, well, surely elephants can mean other things during an election year? And that piggy with the curly tail is very cute. So I forged on, and delved into Betsey's non-partisan collection:

I love not only the print, but how it sits on the shoulders and the cut-away arms, sexy! Comes w/matching thong, $78.













Another print, this one paisley, $58, and a purple+pink tie set, $72.













This babydoll is a favorite, I especially like the flowered neckline, $68.











More animals! A close tie for favorite, because every girl needs some leopard print nighties in her sock drawer. Comes with matching thong, $74.












Victoria's Secret Herald Square, 34th Street & 6th Avenue

I need no elephant, cow or any other large animal near my but---I just don't need to invoke that kind of imagery. But, I suppose a girl who wears such a G-string will never be forgotten.;-)

The piggy with the curly tail is indeed soooooooo cute.
Well not for me :)

That purple babydoll is really nice, love it.

I just ordered a pattern with a neckline similar to the 2nd & 4th tops. Very cute!

Pigs are cute but I've never wanted one on a thong.

Cute stuff. I have a pair of sexy Betsey pajamas that I love. The cotton is as soft as a baby's butt.

I adore Betsey but I think we need to petition her to create Donkey thongs!

Tricia said...

right?! and then we get to keep on saying "donkey thongs," which is just funny as heck.

Is it bad if I want to wear all of those lingerie as tops? LOL.

Tricia said...

no - I was thinking that too with a couple.

The 2nd to last image, purple & black, definitely!

I love the fun you can have with a camera in a changing room! Brillaint pics but not sure about piggy thong?! Donkey thong sounds more fun.

Elizabeth said...

Those are sweet undies, but I can't wear anything bearing an elephant on moral grounds.

That is so funny about the elephant and the piggy. Kind of random isn't it?

Oooh, I almost forgot- I love that babydoll shirt.

Most of my thongs consist of animals or cartoon characters on them. I still have my first thong with a picture of a dog in wellies on the front : )
