Almost 90 percent of women don’t feel represented by the VS Fashion Show

Almost 90 percent of women don’t feel represented in the media.

89 percent of women said that they don’t think that their body types, styles, or looks are portrayed in popular culture, on TV, or on runways.

This misrepresentation is particularly apparently in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, where most of the models walking the runway are a size 4, 6, or 8.

In the 23 years the VS show has been running, no curve or plus size models have ever been cast.

Furthermore, the Angels chosen to wear the coveted Fantasy Bra tend to be taller than average, as well as slim.

The majority of Angels chosen to wear the bra have been a size 6.

A new study conducted by Simply Be has shown that there is much disparity between the average VS model and the average woman.

According to their research, the average woman’s UK dress size is 16 whereas the average VS Angel’s is size 6.

The average Angel has either blonde or brown hair with the average woman having brown or black, while the average Angel has a height of 5’10” and the average woman is 5’4″.

The differences don’t stop there though.

Despite the fact that VS is literally promoting underwear, the average bra size of the everyday woman is decidedly bigger than that of the Angels’.

The average woman wears cup sizes between 34DD and 36DD, with the VS models sporting between 32A and 32D.

Oh, and they Angels are (obviously) packing serious amounts of cash in comparison to the average gal too which is, you know, hardly surprising.

Their average income is $4million.

How much is yours..?
