“Fantastic podcast. Very illuminating beyond what one can read from Google and Wikipedia. As a VS customer and former store employee, I was aware of the limited range of sizing, the lifestyle that it marketed, the way it hooks mothers AND their daughters, the premium price, and the tendency of store employees to be convinced to open a credit card and spend using the employee discount. We joked that it was just a matter of time before we were all working just to pay the VS credit card bill. But beyond that, I found the models’ testimonies illuminating and heartbreaking. Especially those who first come to the US and are basically at the mercy of some older man’s charity. It is a terrible mindset that people have about models, and to hear that it happened at a high-paying, destination job like VS makes me cringe to imagine what happened to them at other, lower rung gigs. The history of the brand, and the profile and deep dive into Les Wexner was fascinating. Especially his relationship with Epstein. The weirdness factor was sky-high and I loved it. The last few episodes that addressed the changing world of body acceptance, #MeToo, and the rise of VS competitors were great, and I was nodding my head the entire time. Yes! They should have adapted ages ago. Yes! They should have cancelled the runway show before they did. Yes! They should have addressed women’s needs for more sizes. I had apologized to countless customers for the limited range. And! I had at one point contemplated starting a business that catered to working moms who were nursing, and/or wanted a larger range in sizing. AND LESS PADDING! But I digress.
I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast, and I highly recommend.”

“I love this new series! I look forward to listening each week. Exposing the hard truth I think we all suspected. I grew up during the Victoria secret highlight era and cool to see the true behind the scenes story”
