Looks like a smart business. But you expend a lot of words to avoid simply saying that they're marketing to lesbians.

and effeminate guys, which constitutes approximately (rough guess here) 99.999999% of Portland.

you don't have to be a lesbian to be a tomboy.

So this is where we pretend that it isn't being marketed to lesbians, to burnish our progressive bona fides?

since when has wearing the same shit as everybody else make you an individual? I blame all that "you are special" talk in grade school, suddenly everybody thinks they have impeccable taste because they all like the same stuff.

That very much looks like an ad for a company that hasn't sold anything yet. Also, I didn't see anyone in it who looked like they didn't give a shit about appearances...not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's a dumb thing for an ad for a fashion company to say.

"I've made mistakes...I guess I was just ahead of my time..." Je-sus.

Some men like to wear women's panties, but they're still being marketed toward women. No one would argue otherwise.
