October 6, 2005 – Traditional Values Coalition’s Executive Director Andrea Lafferty is taking on Victoria’s Secret at the Tyson’s Corner Mall in Virginia. The lingerie store has just put on a display of half-naked and sexually suggestive mannequins. The theme of the display is sadomasochism and lesbianism.
Mrs. Lafferty went to Victoria’s Secret and took numerous photos of the window display and inside the store. The displays inside the store show women laying next to each other in lesbian-like poses. One mannequin was tied up with ropes in an S&M pose.

She continued, “Victoria’s Secret has pushed the envelope so far, where can they go next? Live sex acts in their windows? I’m totally outraged by this brazen display of sadomasochistic pornography in a mall,” said Mrs. Lafferty. “This should be a place where I can bring my son and not be offended by mannequins dressed in sadomasochistic outfits or laying in suggestive poses.”
The Washington Post has reported on this pornographic assault on shoppers at the mall. Victoria’s Secret’s display of partially naked women is part of their marketing campaign and the goal is to spread this to 1,000 stores throughout the U.S.“Unless we make our voices heard to Victoria’s Secret, they will spread this to malls around the country,” said Mrs. Lafferty. “We should not have to fear going shopping at a mall—yet Victoria’s Secret is turning malls into the equivalent of strip joints.”
