Disney Style partners with gender-fluid influencer to market girls clothing: 'Minnie is ME'
TikTok influencer Seann Altman dressed as Minnie Mouse in the partnered content

By Taylor Penley | Fox News

The Walt Disney Co. and TikTok influencer Seann Altman – a biological male who identifies as gender-fluid – have joined forces to market girls' attire on social media in the latest move showing Disney's solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community.

The promotional TikTok video posted for Disney Style, a division of the Walt Disney Co. that promotes its clothing and accessories and offers style inspiration to fans, features Altman dressed in a Minnie Mouse-style getup, complete with a red dress with a Mickey Mouse pattern, a white collar, black tights, a white petticoat and yellow heels.

"Minnie is ME," Altman, who uses he/him pronouns, wrote on the post. "I fit right in with Mickey and his friends! @disneystyle."

To top off the look, Altman added in a belt, white lacy gloves, and a watch before putting on red lipstick and styling his hair in dual buns on either side of his head to channel the iconic "Minnie Mouse ears" look.

"I look just like Minnie Mouse!" Altman enthused. "But something's missing…" He added a big red bow to his hair to further channel the Disney icon.

The post includes a paid partnership with Disney Style, who shared the video to its own TikTok account with the caption, "a minnie moment" with the "heart hands" emoji.

We took our kids there several times. Way back when they had the “Night of Joy” Christian music festival there. Can’t even imagine that happening now. I’m sad for my grandkids - it used to be a fun place to go.

Rumor has it the entirety of the parent company may be sold to Apple, or in pieces to other suitors.  It's sad to watch a piece of my childhood decay like an elderly relative in a nursing home.

There HAS to be someone near or at the top of the Disney empire pushing this in order to destroy the stock value.

Probably in the hope of being able to buy it back for a dime on the dollar down the road.

Nothing else makes any sense at all.

I think it is hilarious to discover a homo in drag makes a post that brags about "Mini is ME!"

He ain't going to get any homo dates from bragging about THAT!

Woke Disney, doubling down, or is it quintupling down, on STUPID! I guess that those making the decisions never read the definition of insanity. There is more and more coming out about the woke version of sleeping beauty and the damage kennedy? has done to the Mandalorian and other star wars shows. As quickly as Disney is plummeting into the ashcan I wonder how long Iger will keep his job, blaming everyone below him and firing large segments of the not so magic kingdom will not keep him safe for long.

This guy seems to have a lot of information on what's happening at Disney. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHTLiHBVVg0&ab_channel=MIKEZEROH

It's not so much that I care as the fact that my BIL who has been doing the exhausting work of handing out and taking in character costumes at Disney Anaheim for close to forty years can talk about or know about nothing but Disney shit, so being the nice guy I am I enjoy feeding him reality about the magic kingdom.

Yesterday I heard that Disney put a deal together for ESPN to get involved in sports betting:

https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/disneys-espn-penn-entertainment-ink-15-bln-deal-launch-sports-betting-business-2023-08-08/

IF ESPN wants to turn around / recover, what they need to do is get back to sports basics, not try to take a slice out of an already crowded betting market.  Disney is so tone-deaf these days, they should be concentrating on their core business and customers, not woke politics!
