Victoria's Secret boss apologizes for saying transgender models aren't cast in their show because it's based on 'fantasy' and claims they WOULD but none have been good enough
Victoria's Secret's 70-year-old senior creative has apologized for his 'insensitive' comments about transgender people.
Ed Razek – who is the chief marketing officer of Creative Services for parent company Limited Brands – was criticized after saying transgender models were not used in their annual show because the presentation is 'fantasy'.
The 2018 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was held Thursday on at Pier 94 in New York City and wasn't representative of the demographic or of plus-sized people.
Razek told Vogue about past criticism: 'It's like, why doesn't your show do this? Shouldn't you have transsexuals in the show? No. No, I don't think we should. 'Well, why not? Because the show is a fantasy. It's a 42-minute entertainment special. That's what it is.'
Razek went on the boast of how the show - which features the likes Of Kendall Jenner, Gigi and Bella Hadid and this year saw Adriana Lima walk her final catwalk in the event - is the 'only branded special in the world'.
He declared how it's 'seen in 190 countries, by 1 billion 6 million people' after stating Victoria's Secret abandoned the idea of also targeting a plus-sized audience because a TV special pitch on the subject flopped 18 years ago.

Its easy and quite simple to tell when a liberal is around because of the constant whining sound
It seems to me that transgenders are living a "fantasy" so why aren't they in the show????

Honestly they are going to hire models they think will sell the product.
Its pretty simple.
Whether they are doing a good job of it based on current financial information is another matter.
Why should normal people accommodate other people with twisted minds ?
I doubt that the Bikini Thongs would look as sexy if they are trying to hide a "bulge". And I suspect that most guys would quit watching.
