the same old cavorting nubile, from the brow of the superbrain

but lost here is the greater issue:  victoria's secret is garbage.  it's for 
skanks, or blue-state chubbies.  it looks a bit appealing on the proper 
white trash vixen--but only because it emphasizes how you don't have to 
respect them.

the women in the know, know la perla.  or cosabella, if you're on a budget 
or simply cheap.  stuff works better than orexia.  can make a passable woman 
into a bombshell, and a bombshell into sufficient motive to kill (her 
husband).  that's the shit.  that's what i'm talking about.
