    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

    Thousands of years ago Victoria's Secret showed nipples quite freely. They also showed pubic hair back when women had it.

    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

    @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

    Being 212 years old, I tend to regard these things as an attempt by "our youth" to discover something against which to rebel after most all of the options have been taken. It seems unless one opts for full-on gunplay, the only other option is gender-defying costume choices. It's so hard to rattle mom's and dad's cages when they already covered the same territory. Imagine the frustration of spending all that time taping down your breasts and stuffing a sock in your panties just to have your egg and sperm donors say, "Wow, Chelsea! You look like an awesome dude, Have a great time tonight tonguing some cheerleader's happy meal." #thekids

    sigh. Even though I gave up years ago trying to argue that MTVmo bands like Fall Out Boy have zero in common with the true emo that grew out of the hardcore scene of 80s, it still pains me to see them and Adam Lambert (are you effing kidding me?) mentioned as emo. I will now go and cry and be old I guess. Jesus that's just depressing. #thekids

    I went to high school in the 90's, at a school that enforced a strict dress code. Guess what? The kids who were gay were gay regardless, the skaters were skaters, and the jocks were jocks. Dress codes don't make or break someone's identity.

    We're talking about teenagers. Of course they're going to think that the biggest factor in gender identity is dress. These are the kids that buy skateboarding brand t-shirts because they want to identify with skateboarding culture. Sooner or later they're going to realize that wearing a t-shirt doesn't make you a better skateboarder. But for now, they're teenagers, and have a lot to learn. #thekids
