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 |

It is sad to think about, but Native Americans are about the only ethnic group where it still seems to be ok to be racist towards. Look at Washington's mascot. Had it been any other ethnic group and their skin color it would have been banned long ago. This goes for Redman tobacco, and the Cleveland Indians mascot with that cheesy smile etc....... I just don't think this woman's fight will go too far.

But i dont let it color my perception of an entire race of people either, because i've witnessed good people as well. My best friend in montana was a Crow, my very close uncle is a mix of Blackfoot, Cherokee and Sauk, until two years ago i worked with and really liked another, a SUPER nice guy, would do anything for anyone. There are misbehaving drunks everywhere and in all colors. |

Are you completely offended or only 12% offended? Because 12% is probably really only slightly indignant.

There's no way that's offensive. NO WAY! And she looks like she's wearing Mic-O-Say claws!

Victoria Secret needs to apologize immediately. Maybe send a nice gift-basket full of assorted blankets and beads?
