I saw this on cnn.com and just had to share. Apparently, there is a possibility that a MTF can model for them.

I just signed the petition, Carmen Carrera would totally rock it, but it's a little late in the game they are saying for her to make it properly into the show tomorrow night.

You are aware of the fact that its not a live show and that it's pre recorded.

Oh, where can I go to sign it too??? I also concur with you, she could totally rock it! Now I want to be a VS model too. I know that it is prolly too late for this years show, but just the mere fact that VS would do it is insurmountable. If they do it, Im only buying VS bras and panties.

I didn't know that, but still, imagine the message that VS would put out there if they had Carmen Carrera as one of the models.

I'd love for them to send the message, but I'm doubtful they will do that anytime soon.  Most people seem against it and it may be a negative business decision.  I've seen some women complain about transgender females modeling their clothes.  Then again,  it's mostly guys that are afraid they may enjoy seeing a trans girl in sexy clothes. 

In any case, I'd love for it to happen some day.

Since were on the topic of models, i do know if your postop and meet the size requirements (14-20) i know Torrid and Lane Bryant will use a transgender model for catalog shoots. I have an ex who is a model for them and might have a trial photo shoot once im healed.

I think VS is more visible and more of a media attraction.  It's good that there are brands that accept us, but having a transgender VS model would help the trans community go a long way in terms of social acceptance.

I wish I was post op, im just in the beginning of my transition. On HRT for 4.5 months now, happy with the results, and hoping for much more. I believe I can model as a woman, just like people told me I could as a man. My friends keep on saying I can model as a woman and I love it, because if I can model as a woman, I know that I have made it and things are going well appearance wise.

Also, what is a 14-20???

I utterly agree. It would be a big step for us.

I am interested in signing the petition too.

Model?  If I were still in my 20s!  LOL

Womens sizes in the US. With LB and Torrid being plus sized clothing companies they use plus sized women for there adds. Right now im a size 12 but am hoping that ill be the size 14 minimum needed to be a model for them. Another plus to LB and Torrid over other companies is they let the girls keep everything from the photo shoots. My ex has 2 walk in closets full now and a dresser full of panties and bras from her shoots. Because of her job she can literally go 2 months without ever doing laundry and still have plenty of clean clothes and undies....and most of it aint cheap stuff....like Silver Jeans.

Lucky y0u!! I hope I get to do that. I would love to model as the real me. For pants, Im a size 13, I can squeeze into an 11 but I wear 13 or my ass looks squooshed right now in 11's. My curves are coming in and I am sure there is more of that to come. I will post three pics here. First is last week and no make up, second on is a week ago, and the third is from 2 months ago....but I know I need the face and it gets better and better. Also, not sure if anyone has seen my past pics but even before starting my transition, women always told me I had he legs they wanted.



I wonder if there are any other trans people on this forum that model during or after transition. I welcome anyone to post pics of their modeling shots if they have or want to model.

Ugh, I made the mistake of reading some of the comments under that article.

First off you look amazing.

Second if you can't model ever, then God help us all.
