Hundreds of women and girls waited in line Tuesday morning for a chance to be the first to shop at the new Victoria's Secret lingerie store in downtown Vancouver.

The new store, on the site of the old HMV store at the corner of Robson and Burrard streets, is the company's second largest in the world.

The U.S. retail chain is known for its glamorous fashion shows featuring pop stars and supermodels dressed in lingerie and angels' wings.

But as Tim Weekes reports, others have raised concerns that the company also targets young teens with inappropriate, sexually-charged marketing.
