Girls, What do you think of Sofía Jirau becoming the first Victoria’s Secret model with Down Syndrome?

I had no idea who she is, it would be a good idea to include a picture for those of us not up on the latest VS Angles. But… I would have mixed feelings. High functioning Down’s Syndrome patients, can live relatively normal lives, including having a boyfriend/girlfriend or even marrying! So why not what to look sexy for hey b/f or husband? I will say, VS is getting SO woke, that they are now focusing SO much on the.01% the 1% and 2% minority groups, they really aren’t focusing on the mass majority of the population! I am in the “Pink App membership club” and I get GREAT deals. I JUST bought TEN panties for $40 dollars, (WOW, right?) But when I clicked on more than one pair, not ONE of the models looked like me. (I don’t even mean skin color) I mean, some were overweight, some were obese. How am I supposed to get any idea what they might look like on me, if the models are all huge, and I’m tiny? I believe the big women DO deserve representation, so they don’t feel like I did when I tried to get an idea of what the panty would look like on me, but now they’ve gone the complete opposite direction, and they are (in some pictures) failing to represent women like me, who are at or below their height/weight “norms”. As for a model w/ Down’s syndrome… if she is high functioning to the point that she can manage her own life, and may sign a legal contract… why not? Just, maybe include non-Down’s models as well wearing that product, so we all can get an idea of what we may look like in the garment!

I agree 100%

[CrazyGirl2]

@Paige90 I know, right? It’s getting ridiculous! when more than 60-70% of the population who buy VS Pink, undies can’t find a model wearing it who actually looks like her! Thank you for letting me know you agree with words rather than just an emoji, I certainly appreciate the people who leave an emoji like, but I TRULY appreciate the people like you who leave a comment.

Can I be honest? Gross😆

[ms_and_ms]

Of course you can

Why gross?

[Agem123]

I get what they're trying to do with that, but a down syndrome model isn't appealing for the eyes

[Agem123]

Uncomfortable to look at

[ms_and_ms]

some of the photos are hard to look at while

[dorksided1]

You know it is just a politically correct publicity stunt, because those girls and tall and built to wear those on a runway. Other then that don't care. But where are the amputees, the girls with vitiligo, the girls with alopecia, the breast cancer survivors, we could go on and on and lets be honest though an adult she looks about 14

[supercutebutt]

I think she is cute. And her COVID virus earrings are especially trendy and awesome. :)

I need to find those earrings.

[dustybiker]

I just hope they are doing so for the right reasons.

[ms_and_ms]

Me too

[Razp_Sorbet]

I think it's great, some inclusivity is better than none I guess.

[Paige90]

I stopped shopping at VS when they became politically correct. Also, their bras and panties are overpriced and don't last.

[ms_and_ms]

I wish VS hadn’t gone from the Angels to The Collective. Yes the bras and panties are overpriced and they don’t last. I still like shopping there.

I dont know. It is great to be inclusive but at the end of the days she's making profit of her body like any other model

[ms_and_ms]

I agree only if she is high functioning to the point that she can manage her own life, and sign a legal contract

[Opinion Owner]

Thats also a great question. Whos really making profit out of it

[Opinion Owner]

Also that is just a brand strategy. I dont see women with this syndrome getting any benefits

[ms_and_ms]

I don’t agree even women with Down Syndrome deserve to look and feel their best

[Gwenhwyfar]

Sounds great

[ms_and_ms]

I would say “sounds great” only if she is high functioning to the point that she can manage her own life, and sign a legal contract

[Gwenhwyfar]

Very true

[HappyGoLuckyGal12]

Dont really care to be honest

[ms_and_ms]

that’s fair … no one said you had to

[Anonymous]

I know some guys thst think she's hot

[ms_and_ms]

I’m a lesbian. I would date her.

[Opinion Owner]

There's this one downsydrome kid at my school. He always wore bicycle shorts, yiu could tell he had a real big dick.

[ms_and_ms]

I have a good friend who has Down Syndrome but she is high functioning. She is made it through university and got married.

[Selena1987]

I don’t know
She has tried a lot

[ms_and_ms]

Tried a lot?

[Selena1987]

Tried hard

[Hennessy_A]

I think she's perfect for it

[malwins]

Unnecessary
