Victoria’s Secret \u201cSexy Little Geisha\u201d outfit that has the nation\u2019s most famous lingerie company in hot water.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Columbus, Ohio, company, famous for its annual televised Fashion Show, has removed its entire “Go East”<\/strong> collection of Asian-inspired lingerie wear from its website after feeling heat from bloggers for the “Sexy Little Geisha” it described on its website as “Your ticket to an exotic adventure.”<\/p>\n

The $98 lingerie one-piece featured a “sexy mesh teddy with flirty cutouts and Eastern-inspired florals,”<\/strong> according to its description, which has since been removed, on its website. The outfit also included a removable obi belt with a bow in back and came with a matching fan and hair chopsticks.<\/p>\n

The “Go East” collection drew criticism last month for an apparent Photoshop job done on one of its models<\/strong>, and then the “Sexy Little Geisha” number was singled out this month by bloggers who questioned the company’s taste.<\/p>\n

“Considering the complicated history of geishas, repurposing the “look” for a major corporation to sell as role-playing lingerie seems a bit tasteless,” wrote Jessica Wakeman on the women’s website Frisky.com.<\/p>\n

While the product has now disappeared from the Victoria’s Secret website, screen grabs of it have gone viral.<\/strong> Links for both the “Sexy Little Geisha” URL and for the entire “Go East” collection now lead straight to the company’s home page.<\/p>\n

Victoria’s Secret has not made a statement on the line, or its disappearance. A request for comment by the company from ABC News was not returned.<\/p>\n
