I wasn’t born a girlie girl — my healthy interest in body shimmer, lingerie, and pink frilly things sprang up somewhere between climbing birch trees and placing orders from the Victoria’s Secret catalog. If it wasn’t an instinctual progression, then I’d have to say my education came from said catalog, a pamphlet of ultimate girlishness and indulgence. The brand is like a giant slumber party — playing with makeup, putting on fashion shows, talking about boys — but for grown-up girls, only the guests are the most beautiful women in the world. These slumber party guests, including Alessandra Ambrosio, Marissa Miller, and Heidi Klum, are more than willing to share their secrets to getting sexy, whether you admit you want to know or not. Yesterday, Ambrosio was doing the slumber party thing at Victoria’s Secret uptown, and she brought Lindsay Lohan to help celebrate the launch of Ambrosio’s fragrance Velvet, a warm amber/blackberries/rose scent.
As the girls ate cake and played with Heidi Klum’s new VS Makeup Holiday Collection (typical slumber party), VS makeup supermodel artist Jackie Gomez gave the gals the supermodel makeover, dishing on the secret to their sexiness. Here, the before and afters.
