This inclusive flash mob outside Victoria’s Secret had the best message of body positivity
American Idol star and singer-songriter Jax Miskanic – @jaxwritessongs – went viral when she pranked her parents with a very funny custom-written song.

Her most recent project had an important and very serious message, but was every bit as entertaining and well crafted.

@jaxwritessongs I wrote a song called Victoria’s Secret and I always wanted to be part of a Flash Mob. 👯♀️👯♀️ 👙 🤫 #victoriassecret #flashmob #bodypositivity #foryou ♬ Victoria’s Secret – Jax
She added –
When I talked to the choreographer, I requested EVERY body type (including underrepresented males.) We all go through it. The message is diversity.
The issue with toxic commercial body standards is not JUST the lack of plus-sized representation…It’s that ONE body is highlighted as the “right” body.
A new documentary series about Victoria’s Secret – ‘Victoria’s Secret: Angels and Demons’ – revealed corporate misogyny and suggestions of worker exploitation, as well as highlighting the close and highly problematic friendship between former CEO Les Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein.

This is a major accomplishment. Musically, lyrically, morally, and cinematically, it is a huge triumph. I got teary.

Jax’s courageous honesty might be the very thing that helps other young people growing up with the same painful issues.
