10 Things You Could Do Instead of Watching the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

You could watch the Victoria Secret fashion show to see the newest pink-covered underwear fashions paraded down the runway, or you could do one of these things instead.

  1. Talk to your friends about body image issues. Not in the Mean Girls way, but in a supportive, accepting way.
  2. Learn how to buy a bra that fits. You can even go a Victoria Secret store to get help with a fitting if you need your VS fix.
  3. Another way to get your fix? Look up the musical appearances on YouTube and skip the lingerie parade.
  4. Read an article that challenges your conceptions of beauty. Check out “Nothing To Lose,” a performance piece by dance company Force Majeure, for example.
  5. Play this New Girl drinking game with some badass friends.
  6. Wear some actually comfortable clothes and count your blessings that you’re not strutting down a runway in those ridiculously tall shoes.
  7. Get the best of both worlds. Have a contest with your friends to see who can make the best construction paper wings. Then try them on and strut around your house with wings and sweatpants.
  8. Volunteer at a local women’s shelter.
  9. Read one of these awesome memoirs from women in comedy. I personally recommend Yes Please, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, or Bossypants.
  10. Go get a massage. Nothing helps you feel good in your own skin like a relaxing Swedish massage.

Or literally anything else. That's an option, too.
