Victoria Secret or Fredericks of Hollywood
Which one sells the best sexy clothes for Valentines day?

I want to buy some nice sexy underwear for a date at the end of February but I am too embarrassed to shop at either store. Which one would be my best bet to order from off of the Internet without getting bombarded with ads from sexual web sites.

2. "Trashy Lingerie" on La Cienega in L.A.
No need to be embarrassed. All the top stars shop there, and I bet they have a website.

THE best for what you need.

5. Victoria's Secret (if you want a guy's opinion).
Frederick's looks trashier, IMHO.

11. I like Fredericks
I find that as a more endowed type person, they have always had a better selection, but in recent years, Victoria's seem to be improving.

15. good question
My problem with Victoria's Secret is that EVERYBODY goes there. Not much of a secret if you ask me. Last season, they used a lot of browns which isn't an attractive color on me.

Fredericks is a little too over the top for me. I'm not a Playboy bunny and can't fill out the "clothes" as much as Fredericks would prefer. Plus, it seems like everything there comes in red or black. Not much variety.

I guess the time is now to roll out with the highly exclusive DU lingerie boutique. Any designers??? lol

16. Skip both and head to Bloomingdales
Actually, I got a beautiful antique Christian Dior Nightie off of Ebay. It was in excellent condition to boot.

17. well, here are your choices:
Frederick's which is more slutty?

Victoria's Secret, made in prisons? (now that's sexy, hey, baby, the last person to touch this thong was doing 25-life...)

or the good stuff? Spend the cash.

two choices: La Perla (www.laperla.com) European, ultra classy, but for those with rich tastes.

Agent Provacateur (www.agentprovacateur.com) Pricey, british and ultra sexy.

buy the good stuff, you're worth it. Cheap underwear isn't worth it.

18. Depends what type of lingerie
For bustier women, Fredericks has a wider selection of large-size bras, but their lingerie in general is pretty cheap stuff, made of see-through icky nylons and polyesters. Just TRY to find a natural fiber in that store, just try. On the other hand, there's a lot of nice silk and cotton lingerie at VS. I'm very fond of their yearly sale, when you can get really nice silk nightgowns and robes for $20 or so.

22. Victoria's Secret, hands down
Frederick's of Hollywood is just waaay too cheesy for me. VS has a gorgeous teddy that I want SO bad right now. :-)

24. I applied at Frederick's for freelance work once, just for fun
about 12 years or so ago. I interviewed for paste-up work at their place on Hollywood Blvd. I didn't get work from them, but they didn't pay much anyway. They did give me a free catalog, though. They have a lingerie museum in there with Madonna's bra and stuff.
