We recently compared the
voluptuous women of Playboy to the skinny women of Vogue.
We were surprised by how many people suggested that Victoria Secret was the perfect compromise:
"The wonderful Victoria's Secret mix. There you get the thin body as well as the perfectly placed curves. That's what I'd like to have for a body. But if I had to choose one of the above, I'd want to be the skinny type. I'm already model tall; I'd rather work the clothes than work the curves." - turn_about_the_room
"I agree ... that the Victoria Secret's middle look is the more ideal one because it includes skinny-ness and curves." - the eclectic dreamer
"i envy a lot of the VS models bodies....they're perfect." - kieri126
To resolve this once and for all, here are some Victoria's Secret models:
And here are some ladies from Playboy:
Honestly, they both seem pretty hot to me. Maybe the VS models look more natural and less plastic to me.
Are Victoria's Secret models skinnier than Playboy models? How would you characterize the difference between the two?

I dunno, Victoria's Secret just seem more diverse and exotic compared to Playboy. I mean just look at the pictures :#
most playboy models i've seen all just look skinny, and VS models look all toned and whatnot.
i think VS models are hotter and they aren't completely naked which makes them more appealing and makes you want to see more of them.
xo
You said that the VS models look more natural? They're all orange fake-n-baked! Ew.
i like VS models better.
VS any day. We miss you, Gisele
VS > Playboy.
Notice: there is definitely more variety in Victoria secret than playboy based on that image and variety adds spice to life. Plus, being female, i love to look at all the smexy underwear i could wear.
This is great! I love you Mancouch for posting my writing twice today!
I keep my opinion: Victoria's Secret
Depends on the amount of photoshop, makeup, clothing, and known surgery if you've never seen them in person. So if imo if you're comparing those three playboy girls to the VS angels, i don't see much difference.
Victoria Secret!
Surprised you picked such an old picture - Tyra hasn't been a VS angel in a while!
but.. victoria secret is SEXY unlike playboy which is SKANKY.
So, sexy wins.
VS models are all padding and airbrushing. Compare a VS shot of alessandra ambrosio with a candid of her on the beach in a string bikini. wtf.
They all look plastic to me, actually.
I prefer women curvier than any of that. Give me some Scarlett or some Kim over these girls any day.
VS obviously has more variety. Playboy is boooring.
I like VS models !
I'd say Victoria's Secret is way sexier.
Honestly, with Playboy, I just get so irritated with the stereotype that "sexy" is always a skinny white skank with long blond hair and fake titties. (not to say I think that all VS models are completely natural, just they don't seem to flaunt the silicone as much.)
there is clearly no competition - Victoria's Secret models are so much hotter. Playboy is slutty, but VS is sexy. And they actually were born with their boobs, and the models for Victoria's Secret are much prettier in the face, which means they have more to offer WITH clothes on as well.
vicki's secret all the way
I think the "skinny look" makes the Vogue girls look, well, skanky. The ideal between curves and skinny is presented well in VS models, but I believe a few of them, because of their height, could be curvier in proportion.
at least VS can walk AND chew gum...
I thought Playboy bunnies had to be all natural? Well, I think they're both attractive in their respective ways. The only thing I don't want to see is a woman's ribs sticking out of her skin like she's half-starved.
I think the difference is that the ones in the bottom picture are all sleeping with the same Cretaceous Period monster, whereas the ones in the top picture do NOT prefer old, wrinkly balls.
victoria's secret.
other than the fact that magazines use airbrush and some more photoediting...
VS models look more real to me >.<
I know what "Victoria's" Secret is: Brazilian passports!
all of them are curvy in their own sense, just with differant body builds, none of them are TOO skinny though. play boy is deffinantly more plastic though, with the lip injections and fake boobs. VS to me is more natural.
VS definitely: naughty and nice... Playboy is a bit skanky for me.
