FLAGSTAFF, Arizona - Victoria's Secret has apologized for putting a Native American-style headdress on a model for its annual fashion show, after the outfit was criticized as a display of ignorance toward tribal culture and history.
The company responded to the complaints over the weekend by saying it was sorry to have upset anyone and that it wouldn't include the outfit in the show's television broadcast next month, or in any marketing materials.
"We sincerely apologize as we absolutely had no intention to offend anyone," the company said.

No offense taken...I too agree that the models should take off more items of clothing...isn't that a native American thong she's wearing?

If Elizabeth Warren can do it, why can't Victoria's Secret.

For Great Plains tribes, for instance, each feather placed on a headdress has significance and had to be earned through an act of compassion or bravery.

Well, I think she's very brave for zipping up the runway with a bacteria laden string up her ass in shoes too small for her feet.

I take offense to their use of bras. They should remove them forthwith.
