At least she has the good sense to cloak that alluring neck. I only hope the ankles are properly covered as well, lest shopkeepers be distracted as she walks down the street. #americanapparel
Oh, geez. They're almost dainty. I could see if they were like huge cow utters ready to slap you in the forehead. These are like junior-nips. Not really classy, classy, but in terms of obscenity from American Apparel, I was expecting much more...like nipples, socks, a puddle of milk and nothing else in the shot. #americanapparel
@Tart of Darkness: I actually agree with what you said but I really don't think American Apparel was trying to make a feminist statement. In fact, I don't think anyone at American Apparel know how to SPELL feminist. If the model's nipples were exposed it's probably because the sad folks at American Apparel got off on the 'naughtiness' of it all. #americanapparel
I can't believe I'm defending AA, but a little naughtiness never hurt anybody. And neither did being turned on by it. If we weren't turned on by naughtiness, nobody would bother having sex and the species would have died out a long time ago. #americanapparel
@topsy: Well, I agree they are not intending to make a feminist statement but I really don't have a problem with the lack of air-brushing. Back in the late 70s/early 80s sometimes lingerie models in newspaper ads had visible nipples. Why have we decided that feminist = prudish while at the same time feminist = promiscuity, too?
I find today's sexuality confusing. We are supposed to faint and scream at the sight of a nipple in a catalog, but have sex freely as we choose with as many people as we like.
And for men it's even more confusing. They are all supposed to be addicted to porn, masturbate furiously on an hourly basis while hoping to get laid and this all at the same time that they pretend not to notice any sexual features on the woman they are standing next to on a bus.
And I'd like to say I can't believe I'm defending AA either even as I'm starting to wonder why I'm supposed to defame them. #americanapparel
@Tart of Darkness: Thanks for the lecture on modern sexuality. Believe it or not I have no problems with nipples; I even have two of my own. What I do have a problem with is AA (who a lot of people are willing to go to the wall for) make a shitload of money out of appealing to the pimply adolescent in so many. 'Oooo look! Nipples! How edgy! How cutting edge.' Please. I prefer not to participate in Mr. Charney jerk-off fantasies, but feel free. The sight of barely-legal models (or those who just LOOK that way) flashing their pink bits for Dov's pleasure and profit makes me a bit queasy. But like I said, feel free.
@naugahydeinplainsight: The second picture's a little strange, but then again I'm totally stumped about a more effective way to sell bow ties and suspenders to women. I think in this case just plain distracting from the product is the only reasonable choice. #americanapparel
@BookishLookish: The ass, it mesmerizes me. If some lacy getup could make my far more typical white girl ass look like that, well, I probably wouldn't think Dov Charney is such a twat. #americanapparel
@pssshwhatever: It is probably the sitting position/thrust that she is rocking that is making it so foin, but I am also of the opinion that asses like that are made, not born. Steady diet of matzoh balls, egg creams and pastrami sams, hon, and you're due for a move to New York anyway. #americanapparel

Women do have nipples after all and this is honest advertising. If you have nipples and you wear this garment, then your nipples will show.
Why Barbie-ize us all? #americanapparel

Not that I frequent prostitutes.
Often.
On weeknights.
In the summer. #americanapparel
