A freelancer working for IvankaTrump.com, a pink tinged site that purports to empower women by hawking them shoes, reached out to Manhattan executive chef (and sometimes model) Angela Dimayuga seeking to do a profile... in yet another attempt to hawk shoes…
Ms. Dimayuga sliced and diced the idea on instagram…
"So long as the name Trump is involved, it is political and frankly, an option for the IvankaTrump.com business to make a profit," she wrote.
"I don't see anything empowering about defunding Planned Parenthood, barring asylum from women refugees, rolling back safeguards for equal pay, and treating POC/LGBT and the communities that support these groups like second class citizens," she argued.
"As a queer person of color and daughter of immigrant parents, I am not interested in being profiled as an aspirational figure for those that support a brand and a President that slyly disparages female empowerment," she said.
Looks like #Resist has another hero, thanks for your stirring statement, Angela…
Fellow celeb chef and anti-Trumper Anthony Bourdain...
...cracked another cold one and replied:
“My Hero!” (hard to say too much with a mouthful of bun bo Hue).
Hey, Ivanka, maybe this guy’s available!
On second thought, that might not be such a great idea.
