Football and lingerie will once again mingle as Victoria

Popularity: 4% [?]

Get your eyeballs ready, ladies and gents. The annual fashion show that sparks a manly droolfest and sends women straight to the stairmaster is just around the corner. Yes, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show will air Tuesday at 10pm Eastern, on CBS.

As usual, this year’s show will feature loads of skin along with some of the most bizarre accompaniments seen on the catwalk. Angel wings and sky-high stilettos are par for the course at this show, but expect feather skirts and crystal-encrusted extras to find their way on stage as well. While the foundational underpinnings such as the bras, panties and teddies are available for purchase, all of the outfit enhancements are there simply to enforce the fantasy element of the show. Said 10-time VS catwalker, Heidi Klum:

“It’s dreamland fantasy: sex-goddesses wearing amazing lingerie. … You can’t wear it on the street, you can’t wear it underneath your clothes, but it’s fantasy and it’s so special.”

Adding to the fantasy this year are performances by will.i.am, Seal, and the Spice Girls. Of course, tossing in two dozen of the most fit, glamorous, and gorgeous women in the world doesn’t hurt either.

During the show, the girls will decorate an oversized Christmas tree, and an inspirational choir is set to wind through the crowd. Just try to find that in your average runway show.

With a $10 million budget (the most expensive fashion show in the world), expect to get a play-by-play of all the action, both on stage and back stage. There are sixteen cameras set up throughout the Kodak Theater that will capture every hip sway and bosom bounce. In fact, the show boasts almost as many cameras as the Super Bowl. The entire show is performed and taped twice, with the very best moments blended together to make up the special.

The hour-long fantasy commercial will feature a knock-out 61 skimpy ensembles. If you tune in, do stop back and let us know what you thought. Enjoy!
