Jun 15 Help! Fashion Nova Stole My Family's Photo Album And Is Selling It At Unethically Low Prices

Help! Fashion Nova, the popular fast-fashion site infamous for stealing intellectual property from black designers as well as generally destroying the environment, has done it again. They stole my family's photo album and is selling it for stupidly low prices as an accessory to pair with military camo bodysuits.

A few weeks ago, I was browsing their website looking for an outfit for a party that says, "I stand out in the crowd but cannot sit down in a chair." That's when I saw it. On their New Arrivals page, right between the "Bright Like a Diamond Jumpsuit" and the "Natural Sass Mini Dress," was a picture of a voluptuous, ethnically ambiguous woman holding my family's photo album!

It was called the Blood is Thicker Than Water - Gonzalez Family Photo Album. It was priced at $4.99 or five payments of $2.00 by QUADPAY. How could they do this? How could they put a price on literally priceless memories that I share with my family? How could they put 27 years of deeply personal nostalgia on a payment plan?

To add insult to injury, when I scrolled down to the bottom of the page where they show "MORE CUTE STUFF" that you can add to your cart, I was horrified to see my childhood blanket, a picture of my first dog, Pickles, screen printed on a t-shirt, and even a bound version of the story of my first kiss. I'm humiliated.

As you'd imagine, I ran to my closet and checked in the boxes in the back, the ones where I keep all my old family stuff. As I suspected, my stuff was gone! Also, I'm pretty sure Fashion Nova stole $40 from my purse. I'm heated.

What are my legal options, folks? I reached out to their customer service and all I got was a low-quality ringback tone of Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage Remix (feat. Beyoncé)."

I even tried to purchase my photo album back, but when I received it in the mail, it didn't look like the album or fit me at all like it did in the photo. Is it because I don't have the same body type as the model? Somebody help me.
