Petition for Victoria’s Secret to hire transgender model for fashion show

Victoria’s Secret is being petitioned to hire transgender model Carmen Carrera to strut her stuff in its upcoming fashion show.

As of Thursday, more than 27,000 people signed a petition on Change.org asking that the 28-year-old "Rupaul’s Drag Race" alumna be considered for a highly coveted spot on the famed VS runway.

"This petition is for Victoria’s Secret to seriously consider taking Carmen Carrera on as an Angel," the petition reads. "By making Carmen the very first trans supermodel, you will help to end femmephobia within the LGBTIQQA community, but also it will show the entire trans community that you embrace them as your patrons."

The show takes place Wednesday at the Lexington Armory, with gorgeous gals, including Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio and Candice Swanepoel, who will rock the bejeweled Fantasy Bra worth $10 million, among those walking. The show airs Dec. 10 on CBS.
