1.  I agree with Christie that the missing headshots is not a big deal.  With the proliferation of "soft porn", this may very well have been done at the request of (and/or for the protection of) the models who may not wish to be exploited.  One of my daughters' friends is a model and she would be hesitant to have her headshot in a photo that depicts her as semi-nude.  Other breastfeeding-friendly companies who sell nursing bras also depict headless models at times.

2.  Instead of complaining about what VS does *not* have in terms of style, size, etc., why not write them to compliment them on this great addition to their lingerie and then gently give them client feedback?  Berating them does all of us a disservice, IMHO.

3.  The VS website and the VS stores in my area do not stock larger than a DD for any woman.  Instead of criticizing them for not having larger sizes for lactating women, why not request larger cup sizes for *all* women?

Sorry, it just seems that when a company like this does something positive for nursing women, the criticism flows faster than the applause.  I do not work for them, but I have had nothing but positive experiences when shopping there since my uneven and *very, very small* cup size is a challenge in other brands.  While their marketing disturbs me at times, it is really no different than some of the vehicle manufacturers' ads.

Just getting this off my chest <g>...
