How One Blogger Pulled Down Victoria's Secret Geisha Lingerie
How One Blogger Pulled Down Victoria's Secret Geisha Lingerie
Nina Jacinto has made Victoria Secret to pull what has taken hundreds of employees, thousands of hours and millions of dollars to launch? The controversial Geisha Lingerie. Why?
Jacinto, a 26-year-old Bay Area blogger recalled that two weeks ago she saw a link to Victoria's Secret's Go East line on the blog, Angry Asian Man.
"Hooray for exotic orientalist bull----," Jacinto posted with a link to the "Asian-inspired" lingerie line's centerpiece: "The Sexy Little Geisha," a mesh teddy that comes with an obi belt, chopsticks and a fan. She found it offensive and promptly criticized it.
"It's the kind of overt racism masked behind claims of inspired fashion and exploring sexual fantasy that makes my skin crawl," she wrote in her article published September 6 on the blog Racialicious, a site for commentary on the intersection of culture and race.
"There's a long-standing trend to represent Asian women as hypersexualized objects of fantasy," wrote Jacinto.
Within two weeks, the lingerie disappeared from Victoria's Secret as the feminist website Bust checked and a Victoria's Secret rep lied that the teddy had simply "sold out". The Frisky's Jessica Wakemen and Huffington Post also picked up the story and the Daily Mail noted that the teddy and the Go East line in its entirety had been removed from the company website and replaced with the main product page.
"I never thought they would pull the Geisha outfit off the market," Nina Jacinto told Piper Weiss of Yahoo! Shine.
"I imagine there were a number of factors that went into that decision."

3,300,000 People Have HIV/AIDS in Nigeria
In Nigeria, the HIV prevalence rate among adults ages 15–49 is 3.9 percent. Nigeria has the third-largest number of people living with HIV. The HIV epidemic in Nigeria is complex and varies widely by region. In some states, the epidemic is more concentrated and driven by high-risk behaviors, while other states have more generalized epidemics that are sustained primarily by multiple intimate partnerships in the general population. Youth and young adults in Nigeria are particularly vulnerable to HIV, with young women at higher risk than young men.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV/AIDS_in_Africa
Nigerian TV and radio stations promote high risk behaviour among Nigerian youths by playing psychedelic and pornographic music videos to encourage vulnerable Nigerian girls and boys to indulge in promiscuous relationships as serial daters and lovers and the sexploitation of Nigerian girls and women is very rampant. And prostitution is common among Nigerian girls and women who hardly go for HIV tests and don't use condoms.
