American Apparel Fails

I saw a banner ad with the picture below today and almost spit out my coffee.


What the holy hell is that thing? A mesh genie suit? In what kind of circumstance would one want to don mesh pants? And why is the ad putting the poor girl in granny panties and still leaving her essentially topless? I want to know someone who actually plans to buy this thing. Or better yet, I want to see someone wear it in public. Maybe we should make American Apparel's founder, Dov Charney wear it. This is Dov:


Ok yeah I take that back. Sorry for the disturbing imagery. But I think we now all understand how "clothing" like that gets made. By douches like him.

The Man Cold

Come on, tell me that this isn't accurate.

You Know How I Know That I'm Old?

Well, number one I'm old because what was fashionable when I was in high school (flannel, Doc Martens, baby doll dresses) are now back in fashion. Which is really whack, considering I didn't keep any of that stuff. I wonder if the Limited will become popular again?

But even worse than that, when I told the other women in my office how excited I was that Doc Martens are back, they didn't know what I was talking about. As in "What are Doc Martens?"

What a travesty. Doc Martens are, as I patiently explained, the shit. Oh the poor youth!
