I’m sure we all remember the pencil-thin brows that dominated the late ’90s and early 2000s. During that era, thin brows were all the rage, and having bushy brows was definitely not the standard.

I put on my leotard and tights, grab my ballet shoes, and head out the door. This was my routine every weeknight for years upon years.

Victoria’s Secret: A Toxic Fantasy

What do you think of when you hear about Victoria’s Secret brand? I think of push-up bras and thongs. That’s what I would spend my money on in middle school and early high school.
