Chris Noth has slammed the marketing experts at lingerie firm Victoria’s Secret, claiming the company’s models look “gaudy”.

The actor, who plays romantic Mr. Big in the upcoming Sex & The City movie after playing the role on TV, reveals he isn’t a fan of the popular lingerie giant, insisting Victoria’s Secret models look like they’re trying too hard.

He tells WENN, “I’m not into Victoria’s Secret so much. I find it over the top. I like subtlety and I like elegance. I think their things are gaudy and they are really trying too hard. If I could make a fashion statement, I think that Victoria’s Secret looks to me like somebody who is putting on too much make-up. It’s too gaudy, man. I mean, come on take it easy, you don’t have to have a f***in’ bouquet of flowers on your underwear. Sorry Victoria’s Secret; I hope they’re not one of our sponsors!”

We get paid minimum wage at VS.. just fyi. And the models make millions.

I hate it when people say shit like this. Too late now.

Still love Chris.
[info]ultravlntmoloko 6th-May-2008 11:29 pm (UTC)
Really? Their stuff is already kinda boring imo
[info]simplychristina 6th-May-2008 11:29 pm (UTC)
Yes, actually, it was the CEO, I believe, who said they'd gotten off track.
[info]treradical 6th-May-2008 11:31 pm (UTC)
o yeah i heard about that. we were in the store and this woman that worked there told us that lol.
[info]disco_balla 6th-May-2008 11:35 pm (UTC)
Good, that shit is so tacky.

I wish I could afford La Perla on a regular basis. Their stuff is amazing.
[info]cinecat 7th-May-2008 12:54 am (UTC)
God, I know, I love La Perla
[info]419 7th-May-2008 03:41 am (UTC)
Holy shit, that stuff is ridiculously expensive. $655 for a nightie? Jesus.
[info]avalie 6th-May-2008 11:51 pm (UTC)
are they going to bring the lace kind back? i can't wear this sleek foam crap with anything but t-shirts.
[info]just_enough 7th-May-2008 12:41 am (UTC)
a bunch of fat, whiny bitches got their panties in a knot
because they can't fit into anything we sell

they're just jealous
[info]staygoldpnyboy 7th-May-2008 06:42 am (UTC)
good. it was over the top when i went there last.
[info]simplychristina 6th-May-2008 11:28 pm (UTC)
I sometimes browse the VS site or in the stores and wonder just who they're making those neon green bras and panties for.

That's who.
[info]simplychristina 6th-May-2008 11:33 pm (UTC)
Haha yes, good point.
[info]noplanesgo 6th-May-2008 11:34 pm (UTC)
omg that was the TACKIEST bra EVER in our store that she was wearing.

it's going on semi annual sale bc no one ever bought it. sooo ugly
[info]disco_balla 6th-May-2008 11:35 pm (UTC)
ahahaha
[info]celtic_thistle 6th-May-2008 11:45 pm (UTC)
ROFL

Which is why I won't wear their shit; I might wake up with an ugly mug like hers.
[info]demented_21 7th-May-2008 12:02 am (UTC)
I totally own neon green and orange low-rise boxer briefs, I won't lie.

I'm 24.

But my style is ~funky~, not trashy.
[info]bodyparts 7th-May-2008 12:07 am (UTC)
over sexed 12 year olds
[info]xeroxicide__ 7th-May-2008 12:16 am (UTC)
ooo and not to mention the mesh neon green panties xD
[info]just_enough 7th-May-2008 12:42 am (UTC)
uhh, Miley Cyrus
[info]rubyredmangos 7th-May-2008 01:01 am (UTC)
My friend. She has pretty much every bra and pantie ever made by VS. She literally will not wear an outfit unless her underwear match the shirt.
[info]ukkylie 6th-May-2008 11:30 pm (UTC)
I do like Victoria's Secret, but most of their stuff is really uncomfortable to wear plus it costs a freaking package.

I do like Chris Noth though, does anyone have photos from that shoot he did at the height of SATC when he modeled for some plus size company. The women where like a size 12 or 14 (so hardly plus size) but still I thought it was a classy move when he could have done VS or AP ads.
[info]flyingpigs_live 6th-May-2008 11:31 pm (UTC)
Something about him scares me.
[info]apothecary06 6th-May-2008 11:32 pm (UTC)
Minimum wage? No commission or anything? That . . . is insanity.
[info]noplanesgo 6th-May-2008 11:33 pm (UTC)
Yeah. We do all the cleaning etc do. No one comes in and arranges our crap. It's not bad but I'm just enjoying complaining about my job today.

Oh, and I got a 27 cent raise after working there a year ;).
[info]apothecary06 6th-May-2008 11:48 pm (UTC)
In retail sales that is just bizarre, especially a major corporation like VS. I mean, my current side gig in retail is at a tiny family-owned boutique where the purse strings are seriously tight, and even they manage to pay me well above minimum wage with a modest commission structure during periods of high volume. I just find it surprising.
[info]just_enough 7th-May-2008 12:43 am (UTC)
people at my store start at 10$/hr *shrug*
[info]ladylawanda 7th-May-2008 01:36 am (UTC)
I've never heard of people at VS making minimum wage. I only worked at one for two weeks but I was at least as 7 or 8.
[info]amativus 7th-May-2008 05:20 am (UTC)
I got above minimum wage to start, and we got a large employee discount with lots of freebies. They were good about hiring from within, as well.
[info]sceneisobscene 6th-May-2008 11:32 pm (UTC)
Most of the VS styles don't come in my size, 32A. I find that strange, given that they use skinny supermodels in their marketing.

Calvin Klein bras FTW.

ps I think they should let Noth go back to real Law & Order instead of bringing in lame new guys.
[info]noplanesgo 6th-May-2008 11:33 pm (UTC)
Actually a lot of the sizes come in 32A. You have to go back in and check girl
[info]sceneisobscene 6th-May-2008 11:38 pm (UTC)
Maybe they're always sold out? I remember that at least two of the heavily promoted styles started at 34.
[info]apothecary06 6th-May-2008 11:39 pm (UTC)
Really? That's weird . . . the one time I've actually bought stuff there, my problem was that in 32 they only had A or B, and I'm a 32 or 34 C (and I found their band sizes big and their cup sizes small, so I would have been a 32C or maybe even D). Same complaint, though - those skinny models do miraculously have decent-sized racks.
[info]babbss re: ps.6th-May-2008 11:51 pm (UTC)
I actually like him better in L&O: Criminal Intent more.
[info]alzzers 7th-May-2008 12:17 am (UTC)
The models have a VERY specific body type: long, lean, and curved in the right places.
[info]just_enough 7th-May-2008 12:44 am (UTC)
PINK! and Very Sexy bras generally come in those sizes
at least they do in my store
[info]foxy_hues 7th-May-2008 03:34 am (UTC)
omg calvin klein is so great for us small chested girls (im 34a)! and soooo comfortable.
[info]ashminda 6th-May-2008 11:33 pm (UTC)
lol i agree
[info]bizarrre 6th-May-2008 11:33 pm (UTC)
Does anyone remember that awkward moment between him and SJP at the emmy's a few years ago?
[info]teen_rex 6th-May-2008 11:36 pm (UTC)
can't say i do. explain pls, i enjoy other people's awkward moments.
[info]bizarrre 7th-May-2008 01:52 am (UTC)
They were presenting an award together and Chris said, "Will you marry me?" and sjp just said "....no...." it was extremely awkward from what i remember.
[info]lifeoftheparty2 7th-May-2008 12:35 am (UTC)
i dont remember either.. what happened?
[info]girlyevil 7th-May-2008 01:18 am (UTC)
No. Do tell.
[info]ily423 7th-May-2008 02:28 am (UTC)
NO! What happened?

ahahah.

So sick and tired of hearing about how brilliant that Funke is. Overrated.
[info]ortanique 6th-May-2008 11:34 pm (UTC)
I love Calvin Klein underwear (not that I have a tonne of it, however); I've never bothered with VS.
[info]disco_balla 6th-May-2008 11:36 pm (UTC)
Calvin Klein is pretty amazing
[info]ortanique 6th-May-2008 11:41 pm (UTC)
It's simple, pretty, and comfortable, and I have yet to see tacky flowers and frills in ridiculous colours.
[info]suckafoo 6th-May-2008 11:39 pm (UTC)
Same here, I love my CK intimates. I've never been a fan of VS.
[info]bbyusocute 6th-May-2008 11:35 pm (UTC)
ilu chris north
[info]getmeacampari 6th-May-2008 11:37 pm (UTC)
A lot of their stuff is really tacky.
