Protestors from a San Francisco non-profit called About-Face assembled in their underwear outside Union Square's Victoria Secret store on Saturday to protest the brand's always-thin, always well-endowed models.

The group advocates for a more diverse representation of women in mainstream media, and promotes loving your body as it is. The women (and one guy) took to Twitter to promote their "Operation Real Bodies, Real Love." About-Face's "Gallery of Offenders" lists LG, Geico, Miller Llite, Diesel, American Apparel, and many more. Perhaps we can look forward to protests at the latter two SF locations soon. Kudos to you, About-Face, for sending a positive message to women, and for stripping to your skivvies. It was chilly on Saturday!
