British Fashion and Style magazine GQ published a large article on the sexiest catwalk show on earth, as last night Victoria’s Secret held their 2013-2014 lingerie showcase in New York featuring GQ favourites Alessandra Ambrossio, Candice Swanepoel, Karlie Kloss, Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn. It is an event awaited by the fashion industry for months and hit directly the main pages of the official website of GQ.
At nearly the same time, GQ published an article about the “Titanic clash between Magnus Carlsen and Viswanathan Anand”. To everyone’s surprise, a few hours later a tweet appeared on @BritishGQ saying, “So this story about #chess is currently more popular on the site than our 100 shots of Victoria’s Secret models…”
