http://aattp.org/virginia-town-that-still-debates-witchcraft-wants-to-drive-out-teen-girls-donut-shop/The shop is decorated in bright pinks and reds with posters of Marilyn Monroe, Betty Page, and other popular 1950s pinups. Aside from that, there is nothing naughty about the shop besides the calorie count....
To many, 17-year-old Tiana Ramos would be considered inspirational. Ever since the teenager opened Naughty Girls Donut Shop, she has faced harassment from conservative groups in the town. Natalie Ramos, the young entrepreneurs mother said that her daughter has faced harassment on numerous fronts from phony complaints on Yelp, to someone actually throwing garbage at the store.
Within a week of the shops opening, Natalie Ramos was standing outside when someone drove by and threw garbage at the door because apparently, conservatives are children. They literally threw trash at the door and said, Naughty Girls burn in hell,' she said. I started bawling, right there.
