That Time Chris Missed A Beach Full Of Victoria's Secret Models....

I recently wrote about our wonderful getaway to El Conquistador resort in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.  One of the highlights of staying at this resort is access to their private island called Palomino Island. During our visit to the island we noticed that part of the beach was fenced off and, being the curious person that I am, I wandered beyond fence to see what was afoot. I was surprised to find a full crew working on a serious set design, complete with a truckload of lighting, a stage and sound equipment. They were also building wooden pyres in the shape of a symbol that I couldn't place at the time.

Something major was happening on little Palomino Island.

I took a picture of the crew working on the set from the ferry.
I asked one of the island employees about the set and he grinned, ear to ear, and said that he could only tell me that it was a private corporate event. I remember thinking, "What corporation has an event like this on a beautiful island?" Because I seriously might consider working there.

Well, it turns out I'm not quite qualified to work at this particular event because it's the set of the first ever Victoria's Secret fashion show (to be televised on Feb 26th). After we left the island, we found out via Instagram, that just two days after our departure, El Conquistador and Palomino Island were chock-full of supermodels from around the world. Chris almost choked on the lime-drenched olives he was eating when I told him! 

Some dude on Instagram used the #palominoisland hashtag and posted this picture of Adriana Lima on the beach:

Maroon 5 and Juanes were both performing at the event so we missed the chance to see Adam Levine zipping around the island in his fancy boat:

It's really Adam's loss, because no one moves more like Jagger than my husband. If Adam saw these dance moves, he would have most definitely cast Chris in his next video!

While I've never watched a Victoria's Secret fashion show before, I'm going to try to tune in this year to see the final outcome of the set!
