Victoria has a secret allright.

And a ... uhmm.... weird one at that.

So I go to Victoria's Secret today, and they give me their "Fall Preview" catalog. As I leisurely leaf through it, something catches my eye.

...Is it really? ... Could it be?
Nooo ...

But after some closer inspection, I've positively determined that it indeed is: They Photoshopped the cleavage of one of their models.

Take a look at the picture below, everybody:

Now am I hallucinating or did they actually reconstruct the cleavage part to seem less ... supple? The skin tone and shading look flat and quite different from the rest of her skin.

To be honest - I've suspected VS digitally manipulating their models for quite some time (I mean outside the softening filters and blemish removal). There was this cover where the model quite obviously had a little bit of fat (if you can call it that) removed from under her arm, and if you've ever seen their lingerie catalog from last year, you'll have noticed that they've blurred any ever so tiny nipple in sight.

The point however is - girls, *this* is what we have to live up to?
