Sunday August 19
An organizer from LA decided
to make a solo statement and caused quite a fashion stir at the annual Los
Angeles Sunset Junction Street Fair Sunday afternoon. Clad in an outfit constructed entirely out of
DIN Orange Drive
Out the Bush Regime bandanas, she made the scene at this Silverlake community
event, known for its good time flavored family fun, and a tradition of colorful
and unusually costumed revelers. Silverlake is a neighborhood of artists, performers,
musicians and home to a significant Gay and Lesbian community. This is a popular and very well attended
event each year in Los Angeles.
She approached the ticket
gate, and the workers were so taken by her outfit and the DIN bandanas, that
they agreed to flyer every entrant that afternoon while sporting their new
bandanas. She managed to inspire all gatekeepers at the event to do this, and
got out stacks and stacks of DIN flyers this way.
Inside, she had lots of
freedom to flyer and talk to folks about the Wear Orange campaign, as well as
she attracted admirers and photographers.
A crew from the show “Tous Le Habits du Monde”, a television show on the
Arte and Culture Channel in France,
asked if they could film her for their show. She agreed. She was asked to spin her fabulous skirt, and
fan out the bandanas so that the message could be easily read. “DRIVE OUT THE
BUSH REGIME! WWW.WORLDCANTWAIT.ORG” They interviewed her about the WCW and the
Wear Orange national campaign to Drive Out the Bush Regime. They plan to
feature her on a show dedicated to political fashion.
We decided to do this on the
spur of the moment because we didn’t have a crew to go out to this event, and
we knew we needed to get the word out somehow, so we decided to make a “fashion
scene”. And a scene it was. The World Can’t Wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!
Declare it Now! Wear Orange!
