Victoria's Secret Competing with the Super Bowl!

Posted: 06 Dec 2007 CST

LOS ANGELES - It might be too much to devote an hour of prime-time television to long legs, taut tummies and half-bare bottoms and bosoms. So the Victoria's Secret fashion show incorporates elaborate staging and musical performances.

The annual hour-long flesh fest, featuring songs by will.i.am, Seal and the Spice Girls, airs Tuesday at 10 on CBS/2. "This is really an event that's anchored in a fashion show," said CBS executive Jack Sussman. But isn't it essentially an hour-long commercial? "To a degree," he said.

Still, with top talent and a $10-million budget, the Victoria's Secret fashion show is more interesting than most advertisements. This year's show spotlights 61 skimpy outfits worn by more than two dozen beautiful women. Sixteen cameras stationed throughout the Kodak Theatre capture the catwalk action from every angle.

"A normal fashion show has two," said executive producer Ed Razek. "We have almost as many as the Super Bowl.” That means each fetching curve is filmed multiple times. The fashion show is performed and taped twice, with the best moments blended into the special.
