Rapinoe’s Secret: Victoria’s Secret’s Sales Tank After Hiring Megan Rapinoe as Brand Ambassador
WARNER TODD HUSTON
Women’s lingerie chain Victoria’s Secret is reportedly pulling back from its recent woke ad campaigns featuring obese models, transgenders, and anti-American gay soccer star Megan Rapinoe after sales plummeted.
In 2021, the sexy underwear company moved away from what it called a “hyper-sexualized” image and dove face-first into a woke remake of its brand. But apparently, the results of this rebranding was a steep loss of revenue, Fox News reported.
The rebranding kicked off in July of 2021 when the company named Rapinoe and transgender model Valentina Sampaio its brand ambassadors.

But despite all those moves to woke the company and please left-wing critics, Business of Fashion reporter Cathaleen Chen was shocked to report this week that all the “favorable reviews from online critics never translated into sales.”
I’ve been counseled about posting social/political articles and have strived to keep my offerings in the realm of milblogs. ‘Sides, that’s what thebesig, Mason and David are for.
*grin*
I failed. I just couldn’t resist. Mea culpa. Seems Victoria’s secret is she likes to actually turn a profit.

These companies never really learn that when you favor the minorities, you lose the majority and thats the fact Jack
Twitter/X & TikTok are not the real world and the basis of any policy on appeasing the mob that resides on those platforms is ALWAYS a losing proposition. VS is no different…
Who would think a man that wants to look like a woman and woman that wants to like a man would tank premium brand ladies undies? Uh, anybody with brain.
I don’t Twitt and I don’t Tok. There’s nothing good that comes of living in a world where “influencers” have a platform that goes against common thought. People say “touch grass” and that’s a thing. When corporations think that the “norm” are the Mulvaneys, Rappinhoes, and so on, they lose money from those of us who work, live our lives, and interact with genuine people.
I don’t do any social media either unless you count this site.
What do I win? Do I get a prize for being one of the few, the proud, the unsocialized? Wait, that makes me sound like a Marine, doesn’t it.
We have a few influencers at TAH, don’t we?
Some “woke” toad who insist employees and customers demand dingbat Leftist weirdness is usually wrong.
“Seems Victoria’s secret is she likes to actually turn a profit.”… And here I thought it was that she’s a slut… go figure
The two are not mutually exclusive, Fyr.
Happy ending, G.I.?
Fair point…
Well played.
The intersection of the two is ‘the world’s oldest profession’
‘and as my NCOLS Commandant said, “The world’s second oldest profession, the military, was created to provide funds for the world’s first oldest profession.”
Megan Rapinoe claiming VS is homophobic and transphobic in 3, 2, 1… (wait for it).
Unfortunately, Big Public Companies haven’t yet learned that the Loudest Vocals are usually a Small Minority, who usually don’t buy That Product in the first place. And, as Jeff said, companies pandering to the Loudest Vocals Minority usually turn off the Buying Majority. Who in turn, turn away from the Big Public (now Woke) Company.
The Loudest Vocals (LV) demographic is what drives that Buying Majority (BM) away, alright. Whether it’s the loud couple disrupting a packed theater or Karen shrieking at a Starbuck employee, that little bit of money the LVs put forth will never equate to that spent by the BMs.
Anheuser Busch learned that the hard way. Their LV pandering resulted in some politicians and celebrities going out of their way to be seen with a can of Bud Light in their hands, but the majority of Bud Light drinkers are people who work hard, want cheap and “refreshing” beer to wind down with, and are either steadfastly against or don’t care about the agenda being pushed by people like The Woman of the Year Mulvaney (All Hail!). So, they’re sucking, though admittedly I haven’t seen the boycott some people claim is happening. AB brands are still getting sold, but I notice fewer (especially BL) in checkout lines.
Just chilling with my peeps in a totally natural setting and pose.
Duh. Nothing about Rapinoe says lingerie. More like linger away.
flannel and “work” boots
Steel toe boots, flannel and driving a Subaru!
Driving a Subaru is just asking for a point, a snicker and a wedgie.

Rapinoe should be a spokesperson for a company that sells rugs.
Just sayin’… don’t judge me.
I have never understood why any company would take sides in the culture wars.
Literally half the country is conservative.
So if they go woke, they lose half their customer base.
They have the example of Budweiser, Disney, and even Gillette.
Why not just say they take no sides in the culture wars and strive to make the best product they possibly can?
I still don’t use Gillette razors even though I haven’t found a replacement I like better.
Have you tried Harry’s razor? It cuts through my steel wool type whiskers.
I bought a 40 or 50 pack of “Sam’s Choice” razors at Sam’s Club in 2017. 1 would last me 2-3 weeks (I also have steel wool whiskers). Had a year long deployment 17-18. When I went back to buy another pack that would last me another year-year and half, they no longer had them. They were the best disposable razors that I ever used. They had 3-4 blades and had enough space between them that they didn’t get packed up with the cut hair. Now I use Dollar Shave Club. They are okay. Sometimes the head doesn’t want to stay on the handle. I’ll keep using them until I find something better. I haven’t tried Harry’s Razors yet. Might give them a shot.

Jerry’s razors ad
Fn AWSOME!!!!!
Jeremy’s razors. I thought it was Harry’s razor ad, but I was wrong again.
And apparently, Harry’s razors is a woke brand as well.
Get a vintage Gillette Double Edge razor at a fleamarket, antique store or estate sale. Best shave you’ll ever get. Ditch the 5 blade POS. Pictured is my 1911 Single Ring Open Comb NEW😎
Agreed. If I was a business owner, not a single person would know my political leanings. George Strait is a good example. No one knows if he’s a republican or a democrat, and he keeps it that way so that both Democrats and Republicans spend their money on him.
Ditto Dolly Parton.
Because the first of several generations that have been “educated” into brainwashed, indoctrinated activists, are getting to the age where they’re the ones being promoted into leadership positions in these companies.
They have been trained to think that, not only is “woke” the only acceptable worldview, but that the majority agree with them. Heck, they don’t know anyone who isn’t “woke” and anyone they might meet who could be is to be “canceled”, not listened to.
So, they truly believe that their “truths” are self-evident, and that if they are just permitted to force their worldview on everyone else, we’ll all see the inherent correctness of their wisdom and eagerly fall into line.
Right up until the company they just took over starts to crash and burn. Then they’re like “wait…what???”
Of course, it’s not that their worldview is wrong, it’s just that we Neanderthals are too stupid and backward and “ist” and “phobic” to get it. But backtracking is the word of the day because they gotta make them Benjamins, even if it means holding their noses and marketing to us Neanderthals.
Whew….glad this woke bullshit didn’t happen when I was 14. No way I could beat it to a Vic Secrets catalog that features fugly landwhales and tranny freaks.
I would have instead opted for the Land O Lakes buckskin hottie 🤣
Damn right. Those “Angels” got a prepubescent Jay through some awkward times.
You Young ‘Uns, I’m so old I had to settle for the Lingerie Ad pages of the Sears Catalog!
Ba daa boom
Or the semi naked national geographic articles when they did articles on certain indigenous people half a world away.
I was also fully integrated and showed full equity and equality when it came to naked ladies.
Those NGs could be hidden gems. Especially when they had something nicer than floppy worn out tube sock tiddies
Me too!!🤣🤣🤣
Tina Louise on Gilligan’s Island – I’m old school.
Jeannie…sigh
Truly.
Have not bought lingerie for a woman is years.
Can’t ever get it right and always wind up holding the bag. Not good.
Anyway.
Fuck them.
I’ve never bought lingerie for a woman. My focus has never been on her putting on more clothes.
That’s like gift wrapping your own presents.
Pretty much, why waste good money on trash panties when the goal is to get them on the floor anyway?
It’s time for the ladies to possibly chime in and laugh at all of us. Or roll their eyes in private while laughing at us.
Wait…so sales ranked after they removed smoking hot titties and ass and replaced it with a pink haired lesbian and fat chicks? Well I’ll be damned.
Who knew. Go figure.
Go woke…GO BROKE!
You’d a thunk that businesses would have learned that lesson by now.
Marketing 101…don’t piss off the majority of your potential customers.
And some of this happened during the COVID fiasco, so lingerie should have been a money maker with so many people stuck at home for months and months.
When you think about VS, you don’t envision their latest “brand ambassadors”. Women usually want to look a certain way when they shop there, and men want them to look that certain way. It’s like a woman going to Chippendales to the Ghost of Chris Farley. Or a man visiting the Hustler Club for a private dance from Lizzo. It just doesn’t fit the business image.
When I think about VS, I wonder who was too cheap to spring for the XO.
I still have no idea what a “brand ambassador” is supposed to be. Isn‘t it already the Angels’ job to be the public face of the company?
HO-LEE SHEEP SHIT ON A BURNT STICK up a dead Middle Eastern Goat’s ass on the morning after “Man-Love Thursday” in downtown Kandahar, you mean this ain’t a spoof?
They fucketh themselves very heavily.
So, straight men and women were paying $80 for $5 worth of fabric and they hated that idea of printing money by selling sex and put a stop to it? Seems unAmerican to me but it’s a free country.
There are women on the US women’s soccer team that could definitely sell lingerie. Megan Rapinoe ain’t one of them.
Most of the team is ugly regardless of their outward looks. I’d have to get the Men in Black eye flash before I’d look at any in lingerie.
They like spending a lot of time on their knees though, so there is that.
They seem to enjoy getting crushed by high school boys.
Like the bear said to the hunter ” you’re not really here for the hunting, are you?”
Freaking Hotties, said every Private. Wish there was a tongue emoji.
👅👅👅👅👅👅👅
Keep going, VS.
If you don’t make up for having Gisele ‘dressed up’ like this (see image) I will never not shop there again!
Totally unrelated clip:
Who would have thought that having a pink haired angry socialist lesbian would not encourage women to by sexy stuff?
Fat hors with frontbutt sell fried turkey legs, not sexy panties.
It’s definitely SICK
