Bra theft on the increase

Hold onto your bras girls! Police in America say thousands of dollars worth of bras have been stolen from a Victoria’s Secret store in recent weeks. In the latest theft, last week, someone stole 50 bras from the lingerie store. Lt. Michael Walsh says the bras were valued at a total of about $4,000.

Earlier this month Victoria’s Secret reported the theft of seven to eight drawers full of reversible bras.

The lingerie store also reported the theft of 100 bras, from its pink collection, earlier this month valued at $4,000.

Walsh say he doesn’t know if the bra thefts were prompted by a fetish, but says “

We have some people who steal strange things.”

Why the only the pink ones? There’s really no need to steal bras when they are such good value at Figleaves and M&S

At a glittering red carpet event in London Louise showed just how she has transformed from size zero to Triumph hero.

As Triumph embarks on a global drive, unveiling a stylish new logo, and opening concept stores to entice women with their glamorous and seductive new collections, Triumph looked no further than Louise to represent them as their ambassador in the UK. “She’s beautiful, charming, with an enviable figure, yet amazingly down to earth,” a Triumph spokesman said.

In her first role, fronting giant billboards in London, Louise looks sensational in Intense Passion from Triumph’s latest collection. City workers will be bowled over by Tim Bret-Day’s fantastic picture of the girl who launched her solo singing career with an album called “Naked”.

Louise says, “I’m completely honoured to be fronting such a strong and well respected brand. Triumph caters for ladies across the board and as a 32 year old mum I’m thrilled to do something to represent women.”

Earlier this month, the first Triumph stores in the UK opened in Basingstoke and Exeter. More will follow. Meanwhile, their Triumph, Sloggi and Valisere and Triaction bras and lingerie are available from online retailers such as Figleaves.com, La Redoute and even John Lewis
