In the NY Post, Kirsten Fleming reports that connected men seek-out tickets to Victoria’s Secret’s annual Fashion Show in the hopes of meeting models.<\/p>\n
On Jezebel, Hillary Crosley writes,<\/p>\n
Tickets to the event aren’t for sale, so some dudes resort to such thirst tactics as bribing friends lucky enough to receive a ticket or outright begging, all for a chance to «model-shop» and hopefully seduce an angel to hang out with them. And maybe, just maybe, a Victoria’s Secret executive will do the matchmaking legwork for them.

When fashion photographer Nigel Barker gets a certain coveted invitation every fall, his phone blows up with randy requests from pals jockeying to scoop up his plus-one.
\n\u201cWhenever I get invited to a Victoria\u2019s Secret show .\u2009.\u2009. my male friends all [pop] up out of nowhere wanting to come to the show,\u201d says Barker, the suave snapper who starred alongside former Victoria\u2019s Secret Angel Tyra Banks on \u201cAmerica\u2019s Next Top Model.\u201d
\n\u201cAnd they\u2019re very pleased with themselves if they get picked to come.\u201d
\nIn her 2013 memoir \u201cI\u2019m No Angel,\u201d Kylie Bisutti alleges that the company\u2019s bigwigs tried to hook her up with an unnamed boldfacer she met during an afterparty at an unnamed downtown nightclub, even though she was married.
\n\u201cApparently one of the celebrities at the afterparty thought I was his type,\u201d writes Bisutti. \u201cAnd this exec wanted to know if it was okay for him to pass along my phone number so we could \u2018get together.\u2019
\n\u201cI had heard that the owners encouraged the Angels to date celebrities because of the extra publicity it provided .\u2009.\u2009. but since I was happily married, I assumed they realized I was off the market.\u201d
\nAfter the book was published, Victoria\u2019s Secret claimed Bisutti made \u201cnumerous fabrications and misstatements.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
