Victoria's Secret Show Angers Native Americans
When do we get to be done with having to hear this crap? It's hot bitches in undergarments FFS
By Richard Ruelas The Republic | azcentral.com Sat Nov 10, 2012 10:18 AM The Victoria’s Secret might have meant to tease and titillate. It ended up sparking outrage among Native Americans for having model Karlie Kloss walk out wearing a headdress that flowed to the ground. Photos of the Wednesday night fashion show were posted online and comments, mainly from the Native American community, followed. In an article posted on lastrealindians.com , Ruth Hopkins wrote that the costume added to the hyper-sexualization of Native women. yea right She also said the war bonnet is considered, among her Sioux tribe, an honor worn only by someone who displayed valor in battle. “We’re a people, not a trend,” she wrote. “We don’t wear costumes. We dress in regalia, and every single piece means something special.” The Victoria’s Secret Facebook page has been peppered with outraged comments. Linda Kewanimptewa of Prescott posted that she was boycotting the store. oh please, don't stop bringing in your beads to trade. Victoria's Secret will go out of business without people like you. “I loved your stores so much,” she wrote, “but thanks for disrespecting my culture!” A petition on change.org has asked the lingerie company to apologize. The Victoria’s Secret fashion show is scheduled to air on CBS on Dec. 4. In September, the handbag and clothing company Paul Frank held a pow-wow-themed fashion show that featured plastic tomahawks. It apologized after complaints from the Native American community. Earlier this month, No Doubt premiered a video for its new song, “Looking Hot.” It had singer Gwen Stefani wearing a headband and beaded dress and battling band members dressed as black hat-wearing cowboys. The band pulled the video down on Monday after receiving complaints from F.A.I.R. Media, which promotes accurate representations of indigenous people. Idiots. As if Gwen didn't make that look better than it ever has and do your image a favor http://www.azcentral.com/news/articl...americans.html |

Women look really good when they're dressed up in formal wear.

I can't come up with a particular reason to like the costume, other than the fact that there's not much of it. I think this is a really good fashion trend if it catches on.

I can vouch for vailpass as I live up in Flagstaff where white people are the minority and indians rule. It's like Dances With Wolves up on this bitch. And the indians hate anyone not indian. They treat us like shit. Not to mention, I get so much shit wearing my Chiefs stuff. They are like, you shouldn't be wearing that, you're racist, you don't deserve to be wearing that, insert any other racist comments from them. They are evil. And there are drunk ones roaming the streets 24/7. A colleague of mine told us that her and other co-workers were eating at Denny's at about 7am and there was a group of drunk indians that came in hitting on waitresses AT 7 IN THE FREAKING MORNING THEY WERE DRUNK! It's insane.

My wife is 1/16 Wyandotte. Great. We need to show respect for their lands and allow them to have their customs and traditions.
But they don't get to tell us what we can and can't do with images that have become part of the cultural prop drawer.

I'll bet. I've driven through NM but never stopped anywhere but Santa Fe.

Perhaps Native Americans and Muslims should sign a non-aggression pact...
