Victoria's Secret - The Mother's Day Shoot That Went Too Far

Hey Lifers!

Britt is living it up in Italy. It’s only been a week but she’s already tried to replace us. She’s gone on a blind-ish friend date and it didn’t exactly go perfectly. 

Meanwhile Laura’s oldest daughter Marlie-Mae has a new arch nemesis from the community garden. What did your kid have to learn the hard way?

We need to talk about Victoria's Secret and whether children should ever be involved in the marketing of ‘sexy’ brands. Their Mother's Day campaign features model Elsa Hosk alongside her four year old daughter. Elsa is in revealing lingerie. Her daughter is in… a trench coat, a robe and her mum’s high heeled shoes. Victoria's Secret has since removed the carousel from their page, but the images are still on Elsa’s instagram. We walk through exactly what's in each photo, why we all felt uncomfortable when we saw it, and the much bigger question of whether this was an oversight or something far more deliberate; especially given Victoria's Secret's deeply tainted history with Jeffrey Epstein.
