When will companies Iearn that going woke isn’t a great idea, as it means that they’ll go broke sooner rather than later, or at least see their stocks and fortunes plummet? Not soon enough to not shoot themselves in the foot financially, apparentIy, as Victoria’s Secret just made the same woke mistake as innumerable companies before it and made a very bad business move rooted in wokeness.
What did it do? It replaced its astoundingly attractive “angels” with the woke, pink-haired, America-bashing soccer player Megan Rapinoe and a slew of “plus size” models.
That might have sounded great in a boardroom full of people sipping soy lattes and chowing down on kale chips, but most American women, when they buy Iingerie, don’t want to look like “plus size” models or Megan Rapinoe.
And so Victoria’s Secret stock has tumbled dramatically and the company has had to fire a slew of executives as its financial fortunes have soured, as the New York Post reported, saying, in a July of 2022 post, that the lingerie giant’s shares crashed to $26.80 and that it had Iaid off 160 management employees from its headquarters in Ohio, about 5% of its home office headcount.
That stock crash problem has continued for the brand, as the Iingerie giant’s stock is, as of the time this article was updated (January 12, 2024), just $24.23. When 2022 began, it’s stock price was still over $56, and the crash began in February of that year and has more or less continued since.
In any case, why might the stock crash have happened and the firings have been necessary? Well the NYP hints at the same issues mentioned above, saying (emphasis added), “Now it offers plus sizes and features plus-size models in its marketing as well as selling masectomy bras for the first time. It also Iaunched its first-ever Mother’s Day campaign last year.
Its stores are brighter and it’s championing more causes highlighting women’s achievements, tapping famous athletes Iike Megan Rapinoe and actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas to represent the brand.
Meghan Markle Subtly Transformed Her Look, but Many Have Missed the Detail She Changed
Meghan Markle’s sense of style whenever she steps out publicly is impeccable. It’s understandable why, as she needs to meet very high standards. However, while all eyes are usually on Meghan during official trips and events, she made a small tweak to her look that only few noticed.
Images released on and around January 2024, show Meghan with a radiant glow and noticeably fuller, fluffier brows, which marks a departure from the over-plucked eyebrow trend of the ’90s she used to be a fan of.
Yana Gushchina, founder of beauty hotspot Browfique, unveiled the secret behind Meghan’s enhanced eyebrows―a technique called powdering. This method, which is a semi-permanent makeup technique, is known for its ombre effect and soft powder finish, and it results in natural-looking, well-defined brows.
