Sofía Jirau is making history in the modeling world. The 25-year-old woman from Puerto Rico is one of the newest models for Victoria's Secret — and is the first model in the company's history to have Down syndrome.

Sorry, against FR Rules I read and watched the article.

Yesterday, someone posted a 2.5 hour YouTube with the title of "If the Canadian Truckers fail, We all Will fail."Maybe someone can tell me why anyone would spend 2.5 hours watching a YT only to arrive at the author's conclusion as stated in the title?

That’s all very nice, but I still expect a new version of the old Victoria’s Secret to be formed by a competing brand. They will take the customers “not all that excited” by the fairness approach.

You beat me to it!

Hope she’s not being exploited since she’s slow.

As long as they have a minimum C cup, they will be allowed to pose.

"I don’t know why VS is doing this" "We need the dues!"

Super special collectible for the diversity crowd.

A). Not a fan of models or even open displays and ads for “intimate wear”. Indecent for public (children) exposure. Just sell your products, period.

B). Stop with the PC stuff trying to self-consciously “include” every kind of defect as well as races and religions. Defects are not attractive. Sorry, that is just nature….they’re not supposed to be so they won’t propagate weakness.

I suppose it would be impolite to point out that if liberals had their way she would have been aborted.

[the OlLine Rebel]

That’s next.

Actually this part of PC wokeness could be a great way to get men to stop indulging in porn and “soft” (LOL) porn.

I truly believe the obsession with sex since it opened up in the ‘60s is the root of all this sex-related garbage now, including homos and trannies.

On with the Playboy playboys!

Maybe put a pair of sunglasses on her. She’s a babe.

Hopefully they’re not exploiting her. If not, good for her!

[the OlLine Rebel]

Actually it’s a great point. After all, the medical types all want us to do Downs Syndrome scans as standard in pregnancy, esp. us older women.

[dayglored]

Congratulations to her on her achievement. I hope she does well.

Meanwhile... Nice hair, nice rack, nice eyes, might want to work a bit on the smile. Not Guilty.

In some of the pictures, it's obvious she has Downs, but some of them like the one I posted, I wouldn't have known.

Bing Image Search Sofia Jirau?

[rlmorel]

Yet.

Exploitation! She,or her guardians,should sue for millions!

[Gay State Conservative]

Having spent 25 years at a large hospital I've had contact with many,many people with Down's Syndrome. And IMO this can't be anything but exploitation...because with Down's Syndrome you don't have the intellectual capacity to consent to things of this sort.

And yes,I'm a guy.
