College Times

Issue date: 4/9/09 Section: Top 10s

Spring has sprung, and I can just picture the loads of college-age men driving home to their parent's houses to have dinner. But, in reality, they attend dinner with the folks as a ploy to get their hands on the new Victoria's Secret catalog. They slyly slip it under their shirts until they make it to the bathroom where they can take a preview peek, until they get home to have a one-man party in their bedrooms.

I'm sure some of them will be surprised to find out that there will be some new features in the catalog this season.

10. The catalog itself comes with its own pager, so that when you keep it in the bathroom too long, your Mom/Roommate/Significant Other can call you out with just the press of a button.

9. The pages are laminated so they wipe clean easily. You know, if you spill or something.

8. The H.R. Clinton Collection was re-worked and now includes bra/panty sets that mimic pant suits …

7. … Which provides some stiff competition for the Palin Collection, which includes the official seal of Alaska on every garment, along with a complimentary pair of glasses with every purchase over $49.99 …

6. … And, even still, there is the Spitzer Collection, a line of see-through bras and panties, for those ladies who like to hang it all out on the line in the beginning. Even if that is their job.

5. There's a new section in the catalog called Next Door Neighbors, where you can nominate your neighbors to be in the catalog. Those pages are near the back …

4. … Right after the Submit Your Own Photo section, where readers can snap photos of themselves in their skivvies and get them in print.

3. As a standard for all bras and panties, they now come scented. Scent choices are beer, cheeseburgers or strawberry licorice. You can custom order a scent, but it costs extra.

2. Trends are circular, so they've issued a throwback line '90s Block Party, complete with flannel undies and sweater vest bras.

1. There is a new section in the front of the catalog called The Secrets of Victor. Beware guys, packages galore!
