On Friday, February 4th, My friend Jenny hand delivered a stack of boycott letters to the CEO of Pinup Girl Clothing, in response to their continued cultural appropriation, erasure, tokenization, and fetishization of Women of Color. The next step is to gather as many people as possible to sign our petition: tinyurl.com/boycottpinupgirl We demand that if Pinup Girl Clothing advertises and sells clothing inspired by ANY minority / non-white cultures in the future: 1. PUG returns a percentage of each sale of those pieces to the original culture's community, preferably through monetary contributions to organizations advocating for justice. 2. Exclusively Performers and Models of Color are sponsored with pieces from these collections. 3. PUG advertises in publications by and for WOC. 4. Models photographed in any campaigns for these designs are a majority WOC. 5. Photographs in any campaigns for these designs are produced exclusively by POC photographers and creative directors. 6. White bloggers are not sponsored pieces from these collections. 7. PUG works with WOC designers on the patterns and prints for these designs, and the design teams are comprised of at least 50% WOC. It would mean a lot to me if you could sign and share. Thank you! ❤ (P.S. Beautiful boycott art by Marsupial Pudding) ❤❤❤ #BoycottPinupGirlClothing #BoycotPUG
