Victoria's Secret live

BOOKMARK THOSE browsers now for Victoria Secret's infamous cyber fashion show at victoriassecret.com, Thursday at 3 p.m. ET. It's infamous not just for lingerie-clad models, but for the technical glitches that made it so hard to access during last year's Webcast, when a record 1.5 million people logged on.

This year, the company vows, it's prepared. "We have a lot of high-powered partners like Yahoo! Broadcast and Microsoft working with us," says Ken Weil, VP of New Media. The show will stream live from the Cannes Film Festival in France. Elizabeth Taylor will host as part of a Cinema Against AIDS 2000 benefit. And, of course, you can shop while you watch.
