David & Goliath Tees Anger Feminists

You’ve all seen the shirts created by David & Goliath, the cutesy indie t-shirt company with pictures of cats and brownies and rulers saying ironic and arguably humorous things. Well, their tagline is “we make stupid stuff so you don’t have to,” and apparently they’ve really gone off the deep end in the “stupid” department.

The company recently released a shirt catering to women saying “No Means No. Well, maybe if I’m drunk.” The people over at Feministing.com were rather perturbed. D&G got a lot of negative emails about it, and they proceeded to pull the shirt.

Then, D&G offered the people over at Feministing a 10% discount on their “Miss Bitch” shirt with “Girl Power!” being the password to the “deal.” Now Feministing is calling for an all out boycott of the store.

What do you think? Did David & Goliath go too far? Is Feministing.com overreacting? Does anyone over 14 even wear those shirts? Is feministing a verb?

Varvatos Opening Boutique in CBGB’s

Fashion designer John Varvatos is opening a boutique in the former space of CBGB’s:

“We don’t want anyone to walk into the space and say, ‘Oh, they screwed it up.’ We want them to walk in and say, ‘It’s not CBGB, but they did the right thing.’”
