That Victoria’s Secret, I hear them young folks talking ’bout it all the time. What’s the big deal, I say? It’s just underwear, ain’t it? But them wings, them angel wings, they sure are somethin’ else. I seen ’em on the TV, glitterin’ and shinin’. Big, fluffy things, like them birds we got out back, but way fancier.
These girls, they call ’em Angels, they strut around with them wings like they own the place. Reminds me of my old hen, Betsy, when she’d find a juicy worm. Proud as a peacock, she was. These Victoria’s Secret girls, they gotta be somethin’ special to wear them wings, I reckon. Not just anyone can do it. Like winnin’ the pie contest at the county fair, gotta have the best recipe, you know?
I heard one time, they pick these girls careful, like pickin’ the best tomatoes from the garden. Gotta be just right. They work hard, these girls, walkin’ around in their skivvies. And some of ’em, they work for years, just hopin’ to get them angel wings. That Josephine, what’s her name, she worked real hard. It’s like waitin’ for the corn to grow tall enough to harvest, takes time and patience. They say it means you made it, like winning a blue ribbon.
- They got all kinds of wings, I seen.
- Some big and fluffy, like a cloud.
- Some all sparkly, like the stars at night.
- Some made of feathers, like a real bird.
They say these angel wings are a big deal in that Victoria’s Secret world. Like the queen bee in a hive, them wings show who’s in charge. And they even got this big show, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, where they all parade around. It’s like our town’s Christmas parade, but with more glitter and less clothes, I guess. Heard it from my granddaughter, she watches it. Don’t know why, all that runnin’ around with no clothes on. She says it’s fashion.
And these girls, these Angels, they get paid good money, I hear. More than I ever made sellin’ eggs at the market, that’s for sure. They say one of them, the one with wings, makes twenty dollars an hour. That is some money. These girls, though, they work out. They do those squats and push-ups, like the army boys. And no drinking, no milk, just like when I had that bad stomach bug. They eat like birds, these girls, if birds only ate carrots and chicken, you know?
I seen pictures, too. They got pictures of these girls with wings, walkin’ around the city, they call it New York City. Big, tall buildings, lots of folks rushin’ around. They call it street style. Back home, we just call it walkin’ to the store. But these girls, they make it look fancy, even with them big angel wings on. The city is like a big runway, they say. Just like that fashion show, but all the time.
One time, I saw this one girl, she had these black angel wings. Looked like a crow, a fancy crow, though. She was wearin’ a black dress, all lacy. Looked like somethin’ out of an old movie, you know? They say her name was Kate Moss. Must be one of them famous folks. She looked important, I’ll give her that. Just like the mayor’s wife at the town picnic, all dressed up and proper.
They put these wings on all sorts of girls. Not just them Angels, but other ones, too. It’s like sharin’ the pie at the church social, everyone gets a piece, but some pieces are bigger, you know? Them Angels, they always get a pair of wings. It’s in their contract, like an agreement. It’s like when you promise to bring your famous potato salad to the potluck, you gotta do it.
These Victoria’s Secret angel wings, they sure are somethin’. They make a fuss about ’em, that’s for sure. Like a prize-winnin’ hog at the state fair, everyone wants to see it. They are important, I guess. Make these girls feel special. Like when I won the quiltin’ bee, felt like a queen for a day. Them wings, they’re like a crown, I suppose, a crown made of feathers and glitter. And these Angels, they wear it well. They got that look, you know, like they know they’re somethin’ special. Just like Betsy, my hen, knew she was the best egg-layer in the whole county.
So, yes, that is Victoria’s Secret Angel Wings. That is what that is about. You need to be special to wear it. It is like a prize, you need to work hard to get it. Then, you will be very proud, like the girls wear them.
