American Apparel wants Hotties to sell their high priced Old Navy knock-offs



Maybe I've been on Mount Helicon too long, but when did American Apparel become upscale? I just saw this piece on Gawker and Joe.My.God; and I have to say I was floored.

If you want to work there, you need to send a full body photo to the AA CEO Dov Charney. He decides if anyone is worthy to work in the stores. But have you seen an America Apparel store? It looks like a beach townhouse inhabited by hoarders.

But anyway, there is the check lists for new folks.

See here:
Silly mess! I mean, they act like they are Louis Vuitton are something. And no offense, but I make hell of a lot more than the AA manager, and I get to dress very snappy causal.

But there's more to this foolishness. The employees talk about what types of folks to hire. Here's one that got me... It's about Black girls:

"none of the trashy kind that come in, we don't want that. we're not trying to sell our clothes to them. try to find some of these classy black girls, with nice hair, you know?"

i will remember that forever, especially the "nice hair" part. he was instructing another manager and i on who to look for during an upcoming open call, and i sat there dumbfounded, listening to him speak while the other manager made "uh huh, got it" sounds on her end of the phone. the other manager on the call with me later became a district manager, and at one point instructed me to tell two of my employees (both of whom happened to be black females) to stop straightening their hair. i refused to do this, but wondered if the mentality behind her request was related to what dov had said.

American Apparel, please get over yourselves.

Flashback 1992/1993- My Fashion


I was obsessed with Cross Colours back in the day!

Cross Colours was the Hip Hop style of the 90s and a sign urban bougieness (This sh** was expensive).

I remember working hard at a blue jeans factory in Hickman, KY, just to buy as much Cross Colours as I could. I thought, I need to make an impression at college so what better way to do, but to do it in style.

I had at least 6 pairs of jeans, and if you remember the jeans, they were Rainbow Brite bright! But I loved them and the neon colored hoodies, T-shirts, jackets and a big orange tunic that if I had to do it all again, I wouldn't wear it to save my life.

In fact, if I had to do it all over again, I would have start my Ralph Lauren fetish earlier.

Fashion and Travel Expenses Amok


Sarah Palin is living it up running for VP. For her look, she shops at Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York, the tab: $49,425.74.

A big-time shopping trips to Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis: $75,062.63.

For hair and make-up: $4,716.49.

And now, her travel expenses are put on blast.

The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel.

In all, Palin has charged the state $21,012 for her three daughters' 64 one-way and 12 round-trip commercial flights since she took office in December 2006. In some other cases, she has charged the state for hotel rooms for the girls.

Alaska law does not specifically address expenses for a governor's children. The law allows for payment of expenses for anyone conducting official state business.

As governor, Palin justified having the state pay for the travel of her daughters - Bristol, 17; Willow, 14; and Piper, 7 - by noting on travel forms that the girls had been invited to attend or participate in events on the governor's schedule.

But some organizers of these events said they were surprised when the Palin children showed up uninvited, or said they agreed to a request by the governor to allow the children to attend.

Several other organizers said the children merely accompanied their mother and did not participate. The trips enabled Palin, whose main state office is in the capital of Juneau, to spend more time with her children.

The timing of this isn't cute. Palin Power isn't looking so hot right now.
