Boycott PINUP Girl (PUG) aka Pinup Couture

The Issue

HI all,

Many pinups/vendors seem to be forgetting the issues with PUG and the owner of the company. Also, new pinups/vendors are coming in daily and need to be aware of PUG brand, hence this is a long overdue petition reboot. 

In May 2020, Laura Byrnes (LB) participated in race baiting and bullying a black pinup on my facebook page. That pinup and other pinups that have spoken out against her have been harassed so badly by LB and her goons that they asked me to not show their petition. This is why this petition had to been updated but old petitions can still be found for examples of everlasting race issues with the PUG company/LB.

Laura Byrnes is the an example of flaming White Privilege at your best. If you apologized and something comes up again, you apologize EVERY TIME IT COMES UP.  Because being accountable for your past mistakes means being accountable all the time; Not just saying, “Oh that happened so long ago, it doesn’t matter now.” This is EXACTLY why racism is still alive and well. Because white people apologize once and think it’s over, not realizing the long term effects on the community. 

Additionally, a business should not harrasses the commnity that is buying from them. Especially, BIPOC that are telling you, "This is not okay."  LB will do an "apology" and then will do something again that is problematic. So I ask you, "When does it end?"

Never because you like her clothes?

Never because she apologized before?

Never because she will harrasses you?

Community do better and make sure PUG is FINISHED.

The boycott continues.
