Just Take The Picture / Bake The Cake / Do The Flowers / Sew The Dress

Dress maker does the thing that got Christian bakers / florists / photographers in trouble; exercises her right of free association:

“As one who celebrates and strives for diversity, individual freedom and respect for all lifestyles, I will not participate in dressing or associating in any way with the next First Lady,” Sophie Theallet wrote in a letter this week.

“The rhetoric of racism, sexism, and xenophobia unleashed by her husband’s presidential campaign are incompatible with the shared values we live by,” Theallet wrote about President-elect Donald Trump.

“I encourage my fellow designers to do the same,” she continued.

Of course, the big difference is that Melania Trump isn’t part of a “protected class”.

Which is rich, isn’t it?  Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Jay-Z, Peter Thiele, Jennifer Lopez and Carlos Slim are all “protected classes”.  Because apparently “white privilege” or “straight priviliege”, er, trumps whatever they’ve got.

    So the key here, is to refuse service citing political differences. Super.

    That will work for just about every homo out there except Milo Yiannopoulos, and I doubt he’s gonna be scheduling a gay wedding dress up day any time soon.

    I think she should be hauled into court for slander. And boycotted for hubris.

    Theallet’s dresses are available at Nordstrom, and I’m guessing the Trumps know a good tailor who could fit them better to her.

    But really, given what I see of modern fashion…why bother?

    Doesn’t the First Daughter run her own designer clothing label? Why would her mom go elsewhere for clothes?

    Here’s Sophie’s 2016 Fall/Winter line.

    This is much more straight forward. There are gay porn pictures of our new First Lady on the webs. QED Miz Theallet is homophobic and must be fined tens of thousands of dollars to change her ways.
