NASTY GAL

According to their website, “Nasty Gal is a global online destination for fashion-forward, free-thinking girls. In 2006, founder Sophia Amoruso started an eBay store selling a highly curated selected of vintage pieces. In just 5 short years the shop has grown to become an international style source offering both new and vintage clothing, shoes, and accessories.” 

The name “Nasty Gal” was inspired by the album and song of Betty Davis who they define as “the patron saint of badass women.”

MURS TAKES A STAND

Rapper Murs shows his support for the LBGT community. In his newest music video “Animal Style”, Murs wears a “Legalize Gay” shirt and also shares a kiss with him on-screen boyfriend.

“Animal Style is a song I did for many reasons,” Murs explains. “The first was to be an advocate for people close to me who are out, and those who have yet to come out. It’s also a love song, which is nothing new for me. But with this one I wanted to challenge the listener to ask themselves: Is the love shared by two people of the same gender, really that different than the love I have for my partner of the opposite sex? And finally, I just felt it was crucial for some of us in the hip hop community to speak up on the issues of teen suicide, bullying, and the overall anti-homosexual sentiment that exist within hip hop culture. I felt so strongly about these issues and this song that I had to do a video that would command some attention, even if it makes some viewers uncomfortable. Even if it came at the cost of my own comfort.”
