Looks like Victoria's Secret show is cancelled according to Shanina Shai in her interview with the "The Daily Telegraph." here is a story from BusinessInsider.com I guess you can say there is a downside to the "Me2" movement.

" The fate of the Victoria's Secret fashion show is uncertain after a model said this week that lingerie brand has cancelled the iconic event.

Shanina Shaik, who has walked in several previous Victoria's Secret fashion shows, told The Daily Telegraph on Tuesday that the annual show is off.

"Unfortunately the Victoria's Secret show won't be happening this year," she said. "It's something I'm not used to because every year around this time I'm training like an Angel."

Victoria's Secret and its parent company, L Brands, have not responded to emails and phone calls requesting comment on Shaik's remarks.

Shaik said the show, which typically airs in the fall, could be resurrected in the future.

"I'm sure they're trying to work on branding and new ways to do the show because it's the best show in the world," she told the Telegraph. A representative for Shaik did not respond to a request for comment.

L Brands revealed in May that it was thinking about making changes to the annual fashion show.

L Brands CEO Les Wexner said in a memo to employees that the company didn't think "network television is the right fit" for the show.

He said the company is rethinking "literally everything" about its business and is focusing on "developing exciting and dynamic content and a new kind of event — delivered to our customers on platforms that she's glued to."

Wexner didn't say anything at the time about an outright cancellation of the event.

Victoria's Secret's annual fashion show, which features top models called "angels" wearing lingerie, has seen a severe decline in viewership over the last several years.

Last year, 3.3 million people tuned in to watch the show, down from 9.7 million viewers in 2013. "

I worked for their corporate office, I'm surprised it lasted this long....
Honestly I think it's too late for them to change.

If it was my company I would fire whoever made that decision.

Most workers are contractors and the ones who get FTE status at LB are so lazy and never talk to anyone about anything. The project that I was on cost so much money every day and maybe helped Bath n Body works a little bit if you skew the data just right. No one cared.
