Shark Tank & discrimination....

So, I am watching Shark Tank right now and I see a nail salon I’ve driven by a couple times on Melrose Ave. It’s called “Hammer & Nails Nail Shop for Guys”. It’s the kind of nail shop I would like to go to. Big leather chairs, TVs with sports, no polish just a basic mani/pedi. But here’s the thing…They will REFUSE SERVICE TO WOMEN.

On their website they brag about their “masculinity” and “an environment free of female clientele”. ARE YOU KIDDING?! Please see their FAQ section titled “What About Girls? http://www.hammerandnails-salon.com/nail-shop-for-guys/manicures-for-men/faq/”. Not women, girls.

The best part is the owner is African-American & should know first hand about discrimination. This kind of “boys only” shop is ILLEGAL.

I sent them this Facebook message that will probably go unread:

"Just so you know it’s against the law to not allow women into your store. Unless you are a MEMBERSHIP ONLY establishment (ie Curves for Women) can you do that, also, on your website, it says service animals are allowed with "proof". Again, you can’t legally ask for "proof" of why someone uses a service dog (I don’t have one, I just thought that was arrogant). You’re just waiting for lawsuits. In fact, I am female and live down the street. Maybe I’ll show up for service. I’d LOVE to see you tell me no. In the mean time I suggest you google "Unruh act"."

If you hate this business as much as I do, blatant discrimination against women, I’m sure women work there, please email them, Facebook message them. This is disgusting. Oh, and NOBODY invested in them on Shark Tank. Any “girls” in LA want to go to the shop with me???

Binders full of binders

I just moved and I found a lot of brand new, some gently used binders while packing, probably 30 or so....size medium a few large (one random xs)....white and black ones, different styles - anyway my point. They're all washed, but I want to give them away, the whole lot, to an organization that can use them. I can't pay to ship them, money is tight because of my move I am brokesssss! (I swear moving is expensive!!!) So if you want them, all of them and will pay for shipping (maybe $25 for regular mail, there's over $500 in binders) email me askajanything@gmail.com so we can set something up, or share this post with a friend or organization who can use chest binders. Cool? Cool.

The Proud Whopper commercial- My favorite part is the girl going "it's the same shit. It's the same shit!" -- my least favorite part is the entire commercial. I'm tired of corporations trying to profit off the gay (umbrella term, please don't get on me) community. Having a "Proud Whopper" makes me not want to eat more at Burger King than I already don't. I think it's kind of stupid, as far as marking goes: it's a burger...which you can have "your way". So essentially it's NOT always the "same on the inside". They missed their demographic with this one. BK needs to wrap the burger in some cute cat wrapper, instead of paper crowns offer snap-backs and change the Burger King to a Burger Drag Queen, oh, and offer a vegan option (we all know 99.99999% of lesbians are vegan'ish) and BOOM, you might get my $2.59 for the novelty. But, nah.

Logo channel #HometownTrailblazers nomination!

I am nominating Annie Parkhurst as a Hometown Trailblazer because as a champion for the LGBTQQIA community in her hometown of Long Beach, CA, Annie stands up for people who don’t often have a voice. Annie helps to give the queer community of Long Beach the power and permission to be proud of who they are.

Her dedication to the youth and LGBTQQIA community is undeniable, with her organization, AMP, founded in 2008, Annie strives to create a positive, accepting and artistic outlet to the LGBTQQIA community. AMP hopes to inspire everyone, including artists, musicians, performers, audiences, and organizations who lack the community they crave, to create one.

As the founding member of AMP, along with the love and support of her wife, Sylvia, Annie created Cut & Paste Rock & Roll, a music and art festival which features LGBTQQIA musicians, DIY artists and up and coming performers. All funds raised through CPRR go towards scholarships for LGBTQQIA youth in the Long Beach community.

In addition to founding AMP, Annie is the lead singer of the Long Beach based all girl, queer rock band, Ask Alice, and an Associate member of the Long Beach Pride committee. Her goal to bring awareness and visibility to the queer community while creating a safe space for all ages and genders, is felt by all, creating a stronger and more engaged community.

Because of Annie’s dedication to improving and enriching the lives of the LGBTQQIA community in Long Beach, it is with great admiration that I nominate Annie Parkhurst as a Logo Hometown Trailblazer.
