She’s earned herself some wings!
Filipino-American model Kelsey Merritt finally gets to fulfill her dream of working with a renowned fashion brand – Victoria’s Secret.
Last year, she tweeted that she wished she could model for VS (Victoria’s Secret) “more than anything”. A year later, she quoted her old tweet and adds that she will be shooting with the American fashion brand. We’re absolutely happy for her!
Mark this tweet. Makakapag VS din ako balang araw 😂 #lawofattraction
