A Comedian’s Takedown of Victoria’s Secret Angels Was Pitch-Perfect

http://www.takepart.com/article/2015/04/13/rebel-wilson-movie-awards?cmpid=tpdaily-eml-2015-04-13



Rebel Wilson is no angel. The Australian comedian and Bachelorette actor took the stage at the MTV Movie Awards Sunday night to publicly apologize for her purported wild antics on the set of Pitch Perfect 2. She wore a pair of oversize white wings with black leggings and a bedazzled bra, but the words printed on the back of her pants suggested her message was about more than just fashion.

“Think,” the pants read in bold silver capital letters that mimicked the logo of the Victoria’s Secret line “Pink,” which is known for sweatpants bearing the brand name across the butt. In the press room of the awards show, Wilson told reporters the pants were about encouraging girls to use their brains rather than their bodies.

“Sometimes girls look at Victoria’s Secret models and think they have to model themselves after that...but I really don’t think that’s the best,” the 29-year-old said. “We’re all different shapes and sizes and nationalities, and I think that one of the messages in [Pitch Perfect 2] is we’re all beautiful.”

There's a new bra company that shows women of all shapes and sizes and they say, "we're no angels"

I love it. But I won't pretend I don't totally love looking at the VS models
