Shame shame shame, it’s a sad shame on Marc Jacobs. While unleashing his new Tote Bag collection — featuring inspo themes from major cities like Las Vegas, Paris, London, Miami, and New York City — one city mysteriously disappeared.
The Los Angeles version has vanished into thin air.
That’s because the bag, according to our sources from the initial exclusive story (Hollywood Reporter), “drew complaints online for its depiction of a reclining bombshell over the Hollywood sign — an image that evoked similar poses used by Angelyne in the billboards that made her famous around L.A. starting in the 1980s.”
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
Angelyne then reposted comments slamming the bags for using her image without compensation. It’s never okay to take without giving. In this case, reparations after colonizing. Especially at the particular age Angelyne is.
And let’s be real: for how long she’s been blueprinting and creating the standard — the very standard that made the likes of Paris Hilton and the Kardashian‑Jenners copy behinds — how greedy and mindless can one get?
From Little Richard being copied by white musicians… to contemporary acts like Harry Styles ripping off James Bay, to Hailey Bieber stalking and replicating everything Selena Gomez does first. Then, like all obsessed wannabe predictable‑generic voices, they try to manipulate and brainwash the public into believing they are the originators and the rest are jealous haters.
Make it make sense. Or at least come up with a more intelligent lie. It’s actually beyond unoriginal — just like what they are. Boring and vapid. Especially when there is proof, evidence, and facts.
Hear about those racists arresting and deporting certain individuals… yet they’re stealing their cuisine and food culture, eating it up, and even having the audacity to open same‑themed restaurants. And let’s not even start where it all began: with Native Americans and their lands being pillaged.
Of course, representatives for Marc Jacobs have not responded to requests for comment. (As of press time, the L.A. tote has been removed from the brand’s site.)
