The secret's out

TS-AZGIFTS 3 ABA.JPG I don't know why I'm eager to alert the TV-viewing masses (read: mothers), but the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is hitting the catwalk at 9 tonight on Channel 13.

What's the big whoop? Well, interestingly enough, a few years ago, I remember overhearing another mom at my son's soccer game lament that she caught her older son watching the "fashion show," which was definitely not showcasing sweats and sneakers, and told him to turn it off. She thought it was a bit too risque for a teen.

Fast forward to 2006, and we moms - and dads - know there's a lot worse stuff out there than Gisele Bundchen prancing around in a fur-trimmed bra and panties.

Anyway, one thing to keep in mind: Because KOVR, the local CBS affiliate, has an early prime time, that's why the show is on at 9 in Sacramento rather than at 10 p.m., which it will be for most of the country.

Don't fret, though, because it's not just girls, girls, girls. Justin Timberlake also is performing on what is being dubbed the "sexiest night on television."

For those who can't wait: Through the magic of the Internet, the Victoria's Secret Web site, has a sneak-peek video so you can see what they're doing with lace this year.

On a more decorative note, Ricky Lauren, wife of American fashion designer Ralph Lauren, will join Martha Stewart (shown right/photo courtesy of Anders Krusberg/MSLO) on her show at 9 a.m. Wednesday, also on Channel 13.

This will be the first-ever television appearance for Ricky, and the plan is for her to chat about the birth of the Lauren clothing line and then share dining/decor tips from her new book, "Cuisine, Lifestyle & Legend of the Double RL Ranch."

Just imagine: A husband who fills his wife's wardrobe with fabulous clothes - every day! And she still finds time to whip up a meal.

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com

Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.

If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
