Embracing The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Why degrading a beautiful human being is a silly excuse for just being a mean person.

Time to grab the ice cream and coupons for pizza, because it's officially that time of the year again.

Victoria's Secret annual Fashion Show will be on air December 8th, at 10:00/9:00 central time.

Being a lady like myself, I find it hard to not feel sorry for myself for not looking as up-to-par as some of them while watching the show. Being a whopping 5'2", there will never be any hope for me unfortunately.

A girl can still dream.

It's very easy to be starstruck as these 6-foot 120-pound goddesses walk across the stage and owns all eyeballs across the world at home.

It can also be just as easy to sham these beautiful models by being envious and not understanding the facts behind modeling for Victoria's Secret. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so here's mine on why no one should never skinny sham these jaw-dropping models:


Take a look at Maria Borges:

In the past, she has been transformed to look like someone she may not actually be. At times change, Victoria's Secret is taking on a bigger meaning behind loving yourself.

"Describe how it felt to walk out on the runway with your natural hair.

"It felt amazing! The excitement that comes with walking a Victoria's Secret show is simply unique, so walking out my third show wearing my TWA was one the sexiest moments of my career so far!""

Maria clearly shows that through the entirety of looking the part, it's okay to stand out and be yourself. It's okay to rock your own unique attributes that make you, YOU!

Victoria Secret doesn't have hidden meanings behind the Fashion Show, other people do.

It is crucial to remember that this corporation does not suggest any unhealthy form to becoming a model. They look beautiful because they are beautiful. Period.

Bridget Malcom is attacked with skinny shamming


Bridget posted work-out selfies to show her audience how she was preparing before her big catwalk debut in the show that aires tomorrow. People seemed outraged at the fact that she was proud of her body.

She responded to the nasty remarks by making a statement,

"Can we STOP with the skinny shaming please? I am extremely fit and healthy and am not in the slightest way anorexic. I have worked hard to look like this and am proud of my body. I may not be the curviest but I am a woman who has every right to look the way I do. Maybe today take a look inside yourself and wonder why you feel the need to shame strangers over the Internet about their bodies. Peace and love to you all — let's change the conversation."

Being a tiny human being growing up myself, I was always insecure about not having the shape other girls did and what interested guys the most. This goes to show that although being skinny may seem like a disgusting attribute to someone, it may not entirely be their fault. - You go Bridget!

These models prepare all year and showcase their own various work-outs that are available for the public to see! Maybe if you're biter about their personal lives, you can relieve some stress and try a few techniques out.

The importance of being considerate

The job of these women is to walk in 8-inch heels and to look gorgeous doing it. They have personal trainers, they have the meal-plans, they do what they have to do to make a living from being beautiful. Who wouldn't want to have their job?

It is vital as individuals who have emotions and personalities such as everyone around them, to remember how diverse this world is. Tall, short, fat, skinny, black, white, it doesn't matter.

What matters is how we treat people and rid the negative assumptions of others. To focus on ourselves and worry about things that happen in our day-to-day lives, not others.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow night 10:00/9:00 central time and check out these beauties take on the runway! The astonishing outfits and music will take your breathe away. Confidence is a beautiful thing and these women should be applauded for doing an amazing job and looking as bada*s as they do.

Just remember, these girls are real humans. They feel real things and work just as hard as the rest of us to be successful.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

1948

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
