"The model – who says she is regularly told she is not feminine enough – did a photo shoot wearing Victoria's Secret lingerie to prove that everyone is beautiful, even if society seems to tell them differently. Dove juxtaposed her photos with edited images featuring actual Victoria's Secret models to show that sexiness is subjective. "I decided I'm not going to wait for the big moment when Victoria's Secret would say this is acceptable," she says. "I figured I would just do a photo shoot, and show people that I'm not afraid to do this, and they shouldn't be either. They shouldn't be ashamed of their bodies."
