Victoria Secret, the well-known brand for selling lingerie and intimates for women, claims that they do not want to use plus-sized models for their brand because it will not market to whom they want to, in comparison to other brands—Lane Bryant.

With a change in the fashion industry and modeling in general, it is extremely upsetting to see popular brands still not welcome women of different sizes.

Bombarded with advertisements from magazines to billboards that depict an unattainable image of beauty, is the reason why women still have body-image issues!

All popular brands should bombard people with advertisements showing real images of women of distinct sizes to truly empower us and support the change of the new definition of beauty.

Victoria Secret fashion shows remind others of a certain body image that is unattainable for all - flat stomachs, perfect legs, no stretch marks, and no scars.

I desire to see my body shown in more runway shows, magazines, and other advertisements everywhere!

Victoria Secret should not deny women of different sizes just because it 'doesn't market to their brand!'

Little girls look up to this brand and should not feel as if they have to attain an image of perfection to be beautiful.

We are tired of just constantly living with an idea of having to be physically perfect as women!

Remember ladies, you are beautiful the way you are-- Your scars and stretch-marks define your journey and your story!

As you see these VS type of runway shows, do not subject yourself to the subtle influences of these slim models telling you that you have to lose weight to be considered pretty.

Love yourself and love the way you are - be confident in your skin!

A side note to Victoria Secret: Stop being closed-minded, listen to the voices of mothers, daughters, and young girls who look up to you and re-define the way you promote your brand!

It's time to welcome new models of different shapes and backgrounds that tell their stories and journey through their stretch-marks, scars, and cellulite, not just models of all the same slim-size.
