What Were They Thinking: A Victoria's Secret Show Preview

Justin Bishop

It's that time of year; when everyone gushes and ohhs and ahhs over the FAB-U-LOUS Victoria's Secret models. Their bods, their hair, and the WTF looks that somehow made it on one of the most watched runways of the year. So grab a cookie and a glass of wine, and let's enjoy the fact that we get to eat burgers and not wear these ridiculous, albeit tantalizing costumes.

Let me just start out by saying I, like many girls my age, live for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show every year. Beautiful models with abs to make you not want to eat for a month, my generation eats that shit up! Body positivity be damned! But really, this year I am not sure what happened.

This show was most likely designed by:

a college student who's signature look is a sweatshirt that covers her shorts so she looks like she's not wearing pants,

Mushu,

the Birdwoman from "Home Alone 2",

a Ger·man·o·phile (the only one in existence),

AND

Paddington the Bear.

Don't believe me? Well just let me show you what I mean...

THE Pants Hating College Student Collection:

Guys, if I could ask for one thing for Christmas it would be to MAKE UNDER BOOB NOT A THING!

-- In reality it's just very uncomfortable, and weird looking...

Let's be honest, this is Regina George circa 2016. Pretty sure Tina Fey has a patent on this look.

'Member Pink Dogs? 'Member middle school when you wore basketball shorts to school and got pants-ed in the Commons and you had a thong on that day 'cause you were a rebel and bought 5 for $25 without your mom knowing and the whole school saw, laughed, and a little part of you died when you had to talk to the principal about it?

No? Just me?

But at least one Pink girl did slay:

THE MUSHU Collection :

Ok, I'll admit these aren't as bad as some of the PINK looks but that one model is carrying the dragon that the Huns are about to jump out of and kidnap the emperor!

THE Crazy Bird Woman Collection:

One of these things is not like the others... no, nope wait, they're all the same.

THE Germanophile Collection:

This is enough to make Heidi Klum cry.

And Finally,

THE Paddington Bear Collection:

Rihanna's Umbrella video was 9 years ago. 9 YEARS!

Despite these fashion fails you know I'll still be tuning in December 5th at 10/9C on CBS wine glass in hand.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
