Wow...

Someone at Victoria's Secret is an anime nerd.





That's Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion, if you're unfamiliar with her.

(Pointed out in the comments on Tom & Lorenzo's post on the VS fashion show. A lot more [tacky] lingerie at that link.)

That's kind of adorable. =)

It's amazing how things turn up like this in unexpected places. It's like Madonna dressing similarly to Mello from Death Note in her Jump video.

That's hilarious.

Wow, that's dead on. Other than the chromed boob window, I mean.

Royalties please!

It makes 'em all fit into a small box for some reason. I didn't do that deliberately, it was just part of the style I applied and tweaked and I never got around to fixing. XD

*grin* I wonder if VS will come under the scrutiny of copyright infringement people.... I guess not, since they don't go after cosplayers.

Probably not--it's a one-off costume for VS's televised fashion show (the bra is the only part of the outfit for sale), and I bet VS has better lawyers than Gainax. XD

I have never considered before that under that reserved shell Rei had a spangly bra just waiting to make an appearance.

I do very much like the idea of more manga and anime nerds slipping their influence in to unexpected areas though. I even seem to have an appropriate icon for just such an occasion. :D

It makes you wonder what other characters have under their clothing! Well, actually, no, it doesn't.

IDK, but now I'm going to think of her the next time I see a sparkly bra.

...and I will confess Minekura telling us what all the boys wore underneath it all will always be a special memory.
