We started Nasty Pig with fifty dollars, zero experience, and a strong desire to create cool shirts for our friends. Our part time hobby morphed into a full time business and our line expanded to include pants, swimsuits, shorts and playgear. Over the years we've managed to build something pretty incredible without the help of advertising campaigns, fashion shows, or product placement on the asses of the stars. I always believed that if we did our jobs right our customers would spread the word for us...and they have. So let me thank you guys. You've done a kick ass job and we love you for it. (feel free to download our banners and logos from http://www.nastypig.com/banners.php to self identify as a Nasty Pig in your own profile...instructions included)
Some people might say we are a gay brand. I guess that could be true and that's fine with me. Gay guys make me happy. I've been told by many "gay professionals" however that being "gay identified" will ultimately amount to commercial suicide, scaring off a straight audience. That's OK though. I'm taking my chances. I've always felt that the least cool thing anyone can be is intolerant so we've chosen to stay true to who we are. And guess what...Nasty Pig has managed to acquire our fair share of well-adjusted straight customers who love us because we are a bad-ass brand with a kick ass logo.
Right now it seems that the only voices being heard within the gay community are talking about getting married and having kids and that's great. I'm all for equality. But I don't want to be straightened out to make that happen. I want to be accepted on my terms and that means being different, being edgy, and speaking with an important cultural voice. That's what Nasty Pig is about. We are confident, sexually self assured people who are happy being subversive because we know that if no one is around to subvert culture then culture will never change and move forward. It will just be manufactured and packaged and sold. We want more than that.
Don't you?
