A gaggle of gals dying to be famous.
 
Ladies from television-produced girl groups gathered on the red carpet for Vibe magazine's 15th anniversary party, and a few donned their American Apparel best for the event. D. Woods of Danity Kane (L), sporting the surprising Nylon Tricot Figure Skater Dress alongside Natalie Mejia of Girlicious (middle) in a Two Tone Mini Dress smiled for the paps while showing just how short hemlines can go. Just be careful, fresh-faced ladies - try your best not to bend down.

The Vice Guide to Milking Your Prostate
Posted by: Zack (Employee)  8/14/2008  12:14

View Large Photo
This morning I was thumbing through the latest issue of Vice Magazine when I came across James Knight's article exploring the growing phenomenon of prostate milking. Turns out that shoving an occasional sex toy up the poop shoot decreases a guy's chance of getting prostate cancer, which has already killed an estimated 28,660 men in the U.S. this year, while at the same time causing an orgasm "400 percent more intense than a regular orgasm" that can "last for up to five minutes."

James gives you step-by-step directions on how to coax yourself through your first rodeo, all while wearing a pair of our 4415 Men's Briefs. Happy milking.

Ever wonder what American Apparel's lovely models would sound like if they were to sing? Or if they could paint like tiny Van Goghs? Or how they'd fare in a game of pick-up basketball?
 
Well, here's what they'd look like if they were to dance. And we're not talking about the America's Got Talent wannabes - Check out this skilled duo whose choreography emulates the best of our advertisements.

The fabulous Lindsay Lohan, whose stopped by the Lincoln Road store in Miami, was all frowns once the paparazzi photographed her and gal pal Sam Ronson after their shopping trip. Miss Lohan ended up leaving with a few items including a Sheer Rib Racerback Tank in - oh, humor gods, you've answered my prayer - sangria.

SHORTLY NOT?
Posted by: Mr. T  8/8/2008  12:49
The NYTimes website just ran this story on the push for men to bust out their hairy pins, take a lead from women wearing skirt suits...and start adorning short suits to the office! Sounds fair. I mean the women folk have had the added advantage of keeping cool and showing off a bit of leg at the most opportune moments, for years. Why then shouldn't the fellas get to flash some stem? Personally, this jury is still out - there's just something a tad "uniformed little schoolboy" about the look - at least when paired with with full blazer and tie - All that seems to be missing is the crested little cap.

American Dream
Posted by: Shawn  8/1/2008  16:21
Last night, CNBC's "Made in China" profiled American Apparel's retail expansion into China. In the segment, Harry Parnass, a company adviser, talks about AA and the American Dream. Without compromise, we sell that idea and Parnass calls out companies that sell the American lifestyle but still don't manufacture at home.
 
We're talking to you, uhh, everyone else.

Australia is now home to 2 American Apparel stores. We opened our Melbourne store earlier in the year to a very warm reception and last week we flung the doors open on our first Sydney store.
 
To mark the occasion, we had a small party for friends and family at the Cricketers Arms in Surry Hills. It was a festive event and not only were people happy to welcome us to the neighborhood, but it seems Viva Radio had some fans as well!

The Sartorialist catches this young lady in Paris looking quite graceful in a Tri-Blend Raglan Pullover and purple Tulip Skirt. I kinda wish I could see her shoes, though..

Flex Fleece Is In

Project Runway's season 5 contestant, Blayne Walsh, is beyond annoying and a poor man's version of Christian Siriano. Despite his constant adding of the suffix "icious" (i.e. "girlicious") to every noun, however, I can't hate him too much since we each own the same fabulous purple Flex Fleece hoody.
 
Who else besides me wants to see a knock-out, drag-down fight between Blayne and Robin Antin's latest girl group, Girlicious, over ownership of the word? Those girls are American Apparel lovers too!
