Nikita Dragun Is Literally The Fantasy

Everyone knows the Victoria Secret Fashion Show is held every year in various cities with the models prepping a month in advance to wear lingerie on the runway. This year major controversy emerged when Chief Marketing Officer, Ed Razek stated in an interview that they sell a fantasy and by including plus size and transgender models the fantasy can fade. In my opinion, growing up all I wanted was to look like a model, and many young girls still try to look like these models that do not accurately represent all body types.

Nikita Dragun, a transgender Youtuber, posted a short snippet of her in lingerie walking around and posing in a mansion. The snippet is similar to the commercial Victoria Secret posts during the holiday season. I prefer Nikita Dragun's video more because it shows that anyone can sell a fantasy not just tall, slender women. Moreover, it disregards that transgender woman are women.

This also goes with plus size woman not being included in the fantasy because they are plus size. The whole show is about promoting the lingerie, so all women should be able to strut in lingerie and sell the fantasy because every individual has their own version of the fantasy. Nikita captioned her Instagram post by saying, "Dear Victoria's Secret, you said trans women can't sell the 'fantasy' so here I am as a TRANS WOMAN selling the FANTASY!" and then added "Everyone is beautifully unique. Embrace your differences. Stand tall in who you are! Live your fantasy and don't let anyone tell you otherwise."

We are in a modern age where acceptance and love for one another should be embraced. Moreover, Savage by Fenty is inclusive to all body types and women and the models are such beautiful women and make the buyer feel more gorgeous and sensual. Thanks to Nikita's post going viral on Instagram and doing interviews for news and magazines she is able to promote self-acceptance and acceptance for transgender women. Hopefully, more plus-size women and transgender women are being included in lingerie runways and for modeling shoots.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
