The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was recorded last night in New York City. With Adriana Lima out (she gave birth on Sunday) and Heidi Klum struggling to shed the baby weight, Victoria’s Secret has announced it’s lineup of five new angels who will make their runway debut in tonight’s show. Among them is up and coming supermodel, Chanel Iman. We are used to seeing her strut the catwalk for some of the world’s most renound designers; she’s even booked more haute couture shows than most black models of her time. Perhaps the biggest question is, are we ready to see a 19 year old strip down to her undies?chanel iman

Her age aside, Chanel also has a build that is foreign to a lingerie model. We are used to the Tyra Banks era where we saw bras and panties on curvy women. Chanel is über skinny. Case in point: take a look at the commercial below for the 2009 Victoria’s Secret pushup bra collection:

Chanel looks a bit odd by all accounts. Maybe we are just not ready to see a teenager strip. Granted, Karolina Kurkova was only 17 when she started working for the company. Looking at the bigger picture, would you say that Victoria’s Secret needs to up the age limit? I’m just saying…

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show airs on Tuesday, December 1st on CBS at 10EST.,

I can’t.

I refuse.

I cannot.
