Marisa Miller's $3 Million Fantasy (Bra)

You can tell Christmas is coming. Almost all the stale Halloween candy in the stores is sold out, the same stores have had their Christmas decorations up for about 4 months, and Marisa Miller has her decorations up for the season encased in Victoria's Secret's $3 million Fantasy Bra.



This year's Hess toy truck for lingerie lovers is The Harlequin Fantasy Bra, designed exclusively for Vicky's by Damiani. It's valued at (only!) $3 Million, and has a rare, 16-carat heart-shaped champagne diamond pendant and more than 2,350 brilliant-cut white, champagne and cognac-colored diamonds. The diamonds total nearly 150 carats.



It's based on their Very Sexy Plunge Multi-Way bra, and took the designers 800 hours to make it, hand-setting each diamond. The design is supposed to remind you of the Angel wings. The research alone took 100 hours.. and if Ms. Miller was involved, I'd like to know how much the researchers had to pay to be allowed to work on the project.



This is the first time Marisa has been given the honor of wearing the Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra on the runway in The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Tuesday, Dec. 1 at 10/9C on CBS.

Think You Can Be A Victoria's Secret Angel?

Then you or an Angel-In-Waiting you may know have until October 24th to enter a Model Search Vicky's and CBS are running for an Amateur Angel to join the Pros at this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Tuesday December 1st on CBS. The Angel Candidate would even go to New York City for an 'Angel Boot Camp', and be up for votes.



Let's see: 18-30? Check. Resident of the U.S.? Check. Must be at least 5' 8"? Check. Look fantastic in her lingerie? Check! Hey, this would be perfect for my girlfriend!



I would also be drawn, quartered, and boiled alive in oil if I sent in any photos of her (let alone post them here) so I guess this gives you, or a lovely lady you know a clear path to submit an entry for yourself or someone you know that will join the likes of Alessandra Ambrosio, Marisa Miller, Doutzen Kroes, Miranda Kerr, Behati Prinsloo and the other Angels on the NYC runway this year.

Undressed Rehearsal: Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2008

Several of the Victoria's Secret Angels gathered in New York at the beginning of the month for lingerie fittings in preparation for this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Angel Marisa Miller has been fitted with invisible Angel wings, or a really good imagination.



Why is it you never see some jobs listed in the Employment section of the paper?



Newest Angel Doutzen Kroes is apparently trying out for the road show of a musical based on Xena, Warrior Princess. Amazing how Gabby's costume still keeps shrinking..



Red and green- she's Christmasy enough.



Miranda Kerr with her invisible wings..




..and her visible wings..



Host Heidi Klum continues that Xena theme.. or a different type of Heidi..



You can see Ms. Klum and all the other Victoria's Secret Angels and Angels-In-Waiting in (or mainly out of) costume December 3rd on CBS from the show's new location this year at Miami's reborn Fontainbleau Hotel.

[psst: Now, you and I both know it was filmed last weekend, and, yeah, you can already see photos from it on a ton of other blogs around the net. Call me old-fashioned when it comes to watching major spectacles with gorgeous models parading around in lingerie and over-the-top gaudy accents, but I write my post of the show after watching it in real-time with my girlfriend.. if we're not otherwise occupied afterward.. so look for the frankufotos Lingerie account of the pictures and descriptions just after midnight as the December 4th post..]
