This history-making model made a public appeal to Victoria's Secret to walk the runway

The retailer infamously does not showcase curvier models.

This summer, plus size model Denise Bidot told The Daily Mail that she'd love to be a Victoria's Secret model. That would make her the first plus-size woman to strut Victoria's Secret's iconic (if over-the-top) runway and to pose its famed catalogs.

But even though Bidot will not be strutting the runway this year, the curvy model has already been making history, and she's encouraging people to embrace themselves - no matter their size or their stretch marks.
