First, Michael Bay directed the pyrotechnic-heavy Victoria's Secret commercial, and now the lingerie giant is offering a topless bathing suit. Looks like Victoria's Secret is pandering to the dreams of teenage boys everywhere.

StyleList previously reported that Lindsay Ellingson is featured on the Victoria's Secret Swim Catalogue cover in a racy cut-out number with detachable bandeau. Well, now the top is coming off!

Not only is the California stunner holding her, er, gifts in one hand, but there's a behind-the-scenes video of the topless photo shoot.

According to the film short, the topless suit is advertised as "Half the Bikini, Twice as Sexy," which leads us to wonder, what woman exactly would wear just half a bikini?

There are, of course, those European topless beaches, but the suit's lines aren't exactly tan-friendly. This kind of "twice as sexy" may very well be for behind bedroom doors (or for blowing up to poster size and plastering on the walls of adoring adolescent boys).

We're all for the bombshell look, but has Victoria's Secret gone too far in appealing to the guys? Let us know your thoughts in a comment!

At least there's one just for the ladies. Check out Victoria's Secret new shapewear, launching tomorrow, Jan. 14.

This is the worst suit from V.S. by far! Im not sure who would ever wear this unless it was behind doors.. Even then.. I wouldn't. Its not cute. As far as the guys comments go that think I say that because I'm fat or something.. I am 115lbs, work out, and have DD's. So no matter what your body looks like, it's just plain ugly. Not to mention the tan lines.

Why bother with this? Just by a regular bikini, and lose the top.

First, that model isn't even attractive, she is smaller than a rail.
Secondly, bet it costs something ridiculous like $300
Thirdly, not exactly sure what else to say, just dumb on many levels...

Arene, you are an extremely hateful person. I have some time to kill so I was reading some of your past posts--you have some issues. Perhaps self-esteem issues but I'm not a psychologist. You really need to lighten up!

It's not cute at all! It looks like a giant frontal wedgie. NOT sexy. It looks wicked uncomfortable too and would make for some majorly awkward tan lines.

As for the question of whether or not VS has "gone too far in appealing to the guys," of my best friends had this to say:

"As a heterosexual male, and thus someone inherently interested in the subject of topless women, I would like to point out that the outfit is HIDEOUS. I can not think of a single woman who would look better in that monstrosity than they would in anything else. Or in nothing. Really, it's just ugly on a fashion level."
