I recently got in the mail my new “Swimsuit” issue from Victoria’s Secret. It never fails…for the past 10+ years, around this time, I get this issue in the mail. For those of you that know me, you know that I have been a fan of Victoria’s Secret since I was a teenager. Each and every year I’d wait for the new line of Victoria’s Secret swimsuits to come out.  Then, inevitably each year I’d flip through the pages looking at the swimsuits that I could never wear. The girls in the swimsuits always had large implanted breasts, and I knew I could never fill out one of their suits.

As most of you also know, one of my biggest reasons for getting breast implants in my twenties was so that I could finally wear one of the Victoria’s Secret swimsuits that I yearned after for so many many years. Last spring, when I got the Victoria’s Secret swimsuit edition in the mail, I didn’t even look it…I threw it straight into the trash, determined not to let it get to my self-esteem (for those of you that don’t know, my implants were removed in 2007.) But, this year when I got this issue, something caught my eye. For the first time in as long as I could remember, the model on the cover did not have breast implants, and did not have large breasts for that matter. So, I decided to take a peak inside. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Victoria’s Secret had about 10 or so new models that I’d never seen before. Yes, they still had a lot of the same models, with the breast implants that they’ve had for many years. But low and behold, the new 10+ models did not have breast implants and did not have large breasts!

I must say that I was very happy to see this. As I have mentioned in a post before, I really feel like breast implants may FINALLY be making their way out the door. After 2+ decades of what has seemed like “breast implant hysteria,” we may finally be making our way out of all this nonsense.

I’d like to thank Victoria’s Secret for showcasing models without breast implants that have small breasts. I realize that Victoria’s Secret is where women in America look to for how and we are supposed to look (like it or not,) and I think it is great that they are moving towards showcasing natural, still absolutely beautiful models. It makes those women out there, like me feel like it is okay to have small, natural breasts. It makes us feel like you don’t have to possess large, implanted breasts to be beautiful, small breasts are just as beautiful as large breasts, and MUCH prettier than fake ones!!

Yay Victoria’s Secret!!
