The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is an annual show sponsored by and featuring Victoria's Secret, a brand of lingerie and sleepwear. Victoria's Secret uses the show to promote and market its goods in high-profile settings. The show features some of the world's leading fashion models such as currentVictoria's Secret Angels Adriana Lima, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel, Lily Aldridge, Elsa Hosk, Jasmine Tookes, Josephine Skriver, Lais Ribeiro, Martha Hunt, Romee Strijd, Sara Sampaio, Stella Maxwell, and Taylor Marie Hill (source of information: Wikipedia).

This year's show was held in Shanghai, China (the first show to be held in Asia) and was recorded for international audiences --- the show will air on CBS tonight at 10 pm (Eastern Time).

It's great we have a pre-recording now of a fashion show open to the public, so if there was any terrorist activity, international audiences would not be exposed to it. Now, we can watch the event, which has already occurred, on TV! This gives us a terrific opportunity to evaluate how gender-centric media dialogue in the modern era represents ideas regarding security, couture, culture, and commercial access.

Modern terrorism involves the selection of traffic-symbolic targets (e.g., World Trade Center), so Americans are much more conscious of the parameters of secured access to commerce-themed media.

Thanksgiving is over, but how thankful are we as Americans for having access to commerce-themed media (e.g., QVC) that is as-of-yet undisrupted by terrorism (e.g., Internet-hackers)?

Three Victoria's Secret 'angels' were selected to be featured in a special comic book display about gender-themed 'heroism' in modern culture. The three models, Ashley, Alexandra, and Amelie, were to appear on the annual VS Fashion Show but opted instead to appear next to Hollywood celebrities Ben Affleck and Shia LaBeouf (tied to comic book media/entertainment in recent years) in a televised presentation of women in comic book media in modern times. The event was called the Feminism Comics Display. Since Hollywood recently produced the feminism-oriented comic book adapted films Catwoman, Elektra, and Wonder Woman, everyone was excited about the prospect of 'pro-populism art dialogue.'

Of course, the rest of the world was not as excited about gender-themed entertainment being paraded on TV while the Trump Administration was negotiating deals regarding Israeli rights measured against the Middle Eastern sovereignty grievances brought to the World Bank by OPEC. The terrorist organization ISIS believed gender-ideal programs such as the VS Fashion Show and the Feminism Comics Display were mere token-gestures meant to mask the fact that American culture (capitalism-biased) was more interested in profit-driven commerce than culture themed rhetoric. The National Security Agency (NSA) believed that ISIS would target the commerce-symbolic offices tied to NASDAQ.

Fortunately, the Feminism Comics Display produced so much hype and chatter about gender-centric programs in modern media that for a brief moment, everyone forgot about the general modern problem of anti-capitalism oriented geopolitical commerce protests. Would 9/11 be remembered as an official 'anti-Western' protest against Wall Street? Would the murder of 300 Sufi-Muslims in an Egyptian Mosque on Black Friday (the annual shopping-day in America following Thanksgiving), now known as The Black Friday Death, be remembered as a 'jihadist protest' against capitalism-excesses (since Egypt was an established commercial trading partner with the USA, a fact which seemed to irritate many Islamic fundamentalists!)? All Ashley, Alexandra, and Amelie knew was that the Feminism Comics Display just might be remembered as a 'populism prayer.'
