Bastardly Flashback Friday: Adriana Lima In 2005 Commercial


Victoria’s Revelation
Brand Is ‘Too Sexy,’ Chief Says

Victoria’s Secret is trying to recalibrate. Fourth-quarter sales of fragrance and the collegiate-inspired Pink label grew, but sales of bras, panties and beauty products declined. Turney said the company will aim its marketing and merchandise at 26-year-olds, holding extensive focus groups and walking through malls with them. The company did similar research when it launched Pink, which has become a staple in dorm rooms.

Turney pointed to the company’s Super Bowl ad this year as an example of its new direction. The spot featured model Adriana Lima in a black lace tank top and undies seductively tossing a football as she lounged in a chair.

Miss Lima is so pretty. It's not just the color of her eyes but their shape that makes them beautiful.

About time VS went back to pushing a more mature image.

Apropros Adriana's superbowl ad, it was the single most watched ad during the entire game.

"The single most-seen ad in the game, media ratings service The Nielsen Co. reported Thursday, aired in the fourth quarter: At 9:44 p.m. ET, 103.7 million viewers watched sultry Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima flirt in lingerie."
