BZZT: torrid for the fail
oh y'all, really? "native beauty"? so inappropriate, so dumb. "stevie nicks style" would have been just as appropriate, if not more so.
ugh racist bullshit appropriative fashion. do we start writing letters? what is the right approach to this? i feel very disingenuous saying that now i'm going to boycott because i do not know where else to buy my pants that is not also socially reprehensible. that said, this is so inappropriate and offensive. letters? a selected boycott of everything in that collection?

EDITED TO ADD: what i think i am most curious about is how we can start to hold our retailers really accountable given that for many people boycotting is not a really viable option. we write letters but how many people here have already written to torrid 100 times. are there other ways we, as consumers, and as consumers with considerable clout, can start to take torrid to task? what are some creative strategies that might work? how do we make our demands known and hold retailers to higher standards? i don't like the idea that it is boycott or nothing -- especially given how hard it is to find anything at all.
EDITED 2: "oh dudes" is inappropriate; "oh y'all" is not. thanks sheana!
