She's so awesome!

Guess who's modeling super cool feather headdresses for Hot Topic?!

She's adorable, but... seriously. People are actually wearing these? For real? Like, not as Halloween costumes?

[scapegoat]

Really though.

[ledh]

.. even as halloween costumes it's questionable :/

[dearmisterecho]

seriously, these are pretty offensive.

[myswtghst]

She is very pretty, but she can't save these. Even if the whole Native American "headdress" as a hipster trend wasn't cultural appropriation and offensive, these would still be completely hideous.

came here to say this.

Thank you for mentioning this!

[kiyomizu37]

agreed.

I'm glad to see her get work, but this is pretty unredeemable. I just lost a lot of respect for Jessica.

[misguidednaive]

Why? Everyone needs to pay the bills... and considering she has a kid (I think?), she needs to even more so

[subitoburrito]

She's paying the bills at the expense of cultural appropriation and misrepresentation. In addition to the links that myswtghst posted, you might enjoy reading through this: http://nativeappropriations.blogspot.com/2010/04/but-why-cant-i-wear-hipster-headdress.html

turning that down could very well have torpedo'd her career, or at the very least relationship with her modelling agency! political statements from celebrities very rarely come out if the person is not at the top of their game. just sayin'.

Oh, Hot Topic. I remember when you were cool. Now that my mom tries to pull me in there on our trips to the mall... I just can't deal. Your hipster rating is now way too high and I can hardly find anything in your store I want.

this is why we can't have nice things!
