Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2011 Viewing Party! (PHOTOS)

After all that preparation, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show came and went without a hitch on November 9. So by the time the televised screening of the event happened last night, what were the Angels to do?

Put on some real clothes and watch it, of course.

Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio and Lily Aldridge attended a screening for their big fashion show last night, which aired in a prime time slot on CBS. The trio danced, cheered and watched on from a small couch at an intimate viewing party in Costa Mesa, California.

The three Angels were just a few of the millions who watched the televised show (In 2010, 9 million viewers spanning 90 countries tuned in).

It's a good thing so many watched, because the lingerie company and CBS shelled out a pretty penny to get the show off the ground. In an in-depth feature, the Hollywood Reporter revealed that the spectacle cost $12 million to put on, not to mention dozens of staffers, 36 models, three bomb-sniffing dogs and hundreds of diamonds (for that insane Fantasy Bra that no one will ever buy -- THR writes that eventually, it just gets dismantled).

But all the time and money must be worth it: according to the Hollywood Reporter, last year Victoria's Secret raked in $5.5 billion, giving Kerr, Ambrosio and Aldridge plenty of reason to cheer.

What a hideously pretentious event that looked like.
And the show, I havent watched since the first one when I realized the editing was so quick-cut music video style that you never get a real good look at the girls. Fool me once...

It starts out as fun. Then it turns into smiling, laughing. Dare I say it...people might start enjoying themselves. This must not come to pass.

Is that water and sugar in front of them? It's all just so fake and hollow. The two chicks are clearly wearing pushup bras and their legs are twigs.

Wow, why all the hate...they're models, doing what models do...

which is be fake and hollow. We're holding these people up as if they've accomplished something in life. They've starved themselves and put on a push up bra and present themselves as nothing more than a sex object.

You mean...they're doing their jobs?

Perish the thought.

Next to my wife, Miranda Kerr is the hottest female on the face of the planet.

Ambrosio has the deadest forehead I think I've ever seen.

As someone who likes Victoria's Secret, appreciates high fashion, and finds the models (especially Adriana Lima) to be absolutely stunning beautifies, I still think its disgusting that the image of eating-disorder thinness is the one deemed "sexy". Its so unrealistic. The V.S. models go on crazy diets and exercise regimes to obtain their bodies and are spray tanned and airbrushed before the show. Yet we all look at them like their bodies are incredible. The impression it gives to young women is deplorable. Look at the vintage V.S. shows and you'll see real women with real bodies...

ever notice how hot girls,
by themselves,
are extraordinary,
but if you put them with a bunch of other hot girls
they sort of cancel each other out...

what's up with that?

In the past I made fun of girls like the models at VS...since my insecurity subsided, I realized that they work really hard to get where they are. There are so many people in this world and there are only a handful of VS models. You have to have the "thing" to represent this brand. As long as they stay healthy, be true to themselves and respect their fan base..I will enjoy them as I do now. Besides who would not find Adriana Lima stunning? really!

Good for you, I feel the same way, I think most of them are great!! I really like Miranda, she just seems so like down to earth, and she just had a baby too!
