Ari Fitz's Promboyish 2017: How Two Tomboys Would Do Prom Differently

If you were a queer tomboy, or any kind of queer girl who went to prom with a boy when you really wanted to go with another girl, then model Ari Fitz's video for Promboyish 2017 may encapsulate your desire for a prom do-over! Fitz, a fashion icon with more than 200,000 YouTube followers who curates a robust personal Instagram page and the.tomboyish -- both thoughtfully curated with hot, stylish, androgynous fashion pics -- first landed on the collective radar when she appeared on MTV's The Real World: Ex-Plosion in 2014. In her prom-themed video, Fitz and friend Nicole Williams discuss their prom experiences as tomboys who would do it all differently if given the chance. And then they step out on the town in killer suits for a completely different prom experience.

Shop Dan Savage's ITMFA (Impeach the Motherfucker Already)

Writer, commentator, and activist Dan Savage launched ITMFA (Impeach the Motherfucker Already) back in 2006, to protest George W. Bush's agenda and to raise money for nonprofits that support marginalized people. At at time before Facebook and Twitter existed, Savage raised $20,000 to help fight Bush. Fast-forward to the 2016 election, and with Donald Trump's Electoral College win, ITMFA became more necessary and relevant than ever. On January 24 of this year, just a few days after Trump's inauguration, Savage brought back ITMFA, selling shirts, buttons, lapel pins, mugs, and hats to raise money for organizations that provide support to people who've been assailed under Trump. Just this week ITMFA donated $100K to Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union, and International Refugee Assistance Project. Check out the website to get your ITMFA gear to rock for a cause. Once you're decked out, you can submit your photo to the ITMFA Instagram page to add to the growing number of people who want to "impeach the motherfucker already!"
