Diversity Achieved at Magellan’s

So remember when I posted on the lack of culture represented in Magellan’s Travel? Magellan’s is an upscale travel company out of Santa Barbara.  I receive their monthly catalogs, and noticed that for a company specializing  in global travel, clothing, and miscellaneous outfittry they portrayed no folks of color or other ethnic backgrounds showing off their wares.

Well, perhaps because of me, or maybe because of the new administration, my most recent mailing featured this nice African American lady.  She’s on the go with her companion and dressed in pristine white pants (just yearning to be smudged and stained,) and a functional beige pocket laden vest.

Good job Magellan’s.  Looks like my online chat session with Ken may have helped too.   So how about some credit?

One other thing though…  This same lady is shown in their online catalog, (wearing pajamas or something,) under “Sun Protection.”  An African American co-worker got a chuckle from that, especially given the pastiness of the rest of their crew.

  1. That is pretty amusing. Glad your co-worker chuckled at it too and didn’t make too much out of Magellan’s well-intentioned but slightly off-the-mark effort.
