Yes they're official AA matches, and yes, that's the same model (and same photo shoot) from a nsfw French American Apparel ad from last December. In somewhat related news, American Apparel retail stores are now selling the Hitachi Magic Wand vibrator. Which is not the one pants-optional CEO Dov Charney is holding is this recent beautiful fake ad by the brilliant fake American Apparel ad artist. Thus concludes your American Apparel update for the day.

"Excuse me, Mr. Charney? Shouldn't that be 'Tights' with an 's'?"

(click image for closer look, you pervs)
To repeat, skeevy American Apparel founder Lovey Dov Charney has admitted to fucking his models. Knowing this, the ad's headline suddenly possibly becomes, not just a testament about this particular model's body, but a testament about a very particular part of this model's body. No, not her tushy.

American Apparel brings their artistic vision to Video.

American Apparel now has a YouTube page. Here, Kristen successfully tries on a pair of polka-dot panties.
Fascinating.

Probably feeling jealous and challenged by the fake American Apparel ad artist, the pants-optional CEO has ratcheted up the "creativity" in his recent ads. And by "creativity," I of course mean "porn." Two weeks ago, there was the bathing suit ad with porn star Faye Valentine. Now, it's this dick licker on the back cover of the latest issue of Danish art magazine S—a space where Dov apparently places the sleaziest AA ads. Don't know whether or not this coquettish lass is also a porn star, but those hairy legs look like Dov's. To recap, here's American Apparel's most overt ads of the past couple of years: Brazilian porn star Paola Rey masturbating in tights ad; French AA ad gets to the topless point (nsfw); AA's bare ass-thetic; stirrup socks ad features model wearing only stirrup socks; and AA Vice magazine ad shoves hoo-ha in our face.

(click ads) L—New ad from the UK edition of Vice (England's ASA ban tk) featuring Brittney and her ass crack in a lace body suit. R—New ad from Salt Lake City Weekly (Mormon outrage tk) featuring Eliana and her very prominent ass crack in fancy panties. Cracking good advertising creative directed by the pants-optional CEO, of course. (images via). Previously in: American Apparel ad ass crack. Non-American Apparel ad ass crack.

Apparently, no American Apparel male model can be hotter than pervy founder Dov Charney.

Which isn't very fucking hot. Two recent AA ads. Left: It's another sexy asian (dude's definitely got a touch of Far East Fever) with barely covered nipples. But then, his women's apparel ads are always sex sex sex and more sex. Right: Girls (and gay men), you get Mr. noodle-armed ex-con face. Who is pretty much on the same level of non-hotness you get with every AA male model.
previously in American Apparel ads:
1. Thongs.
2. Stirrup Socks.
3. Tight(s).
4. Hooters Shorts.

How overt can you go, American Apparel?

(click image to see model simulating(?) masturbating)
update: this is South American porn star Paola Rey. As anybody who reads this slutty blog knows, I am not a prude. But seriously AA—what's the fucking point of the left photo? Why not just show a gaping Hustler vagina shot? Or slap some plaster on Dov Charney's twitching little Dov and introduce a line of American Apparel Lovey Dov Dildos™ (in 15 colors!)?

update: AA sports a Woody on the lower east side—very unorthodox billboard.
previous AA ads:
1. Girls against Boys.
2. Three fetishes in one small ad.
3. Shouldn't that be 'Tights' with an 's'?

American Apparel ads are e-vulva-ing (sorry).

Oh look: it's professional cock sucker Faye Valentine in another American Apparel shoot. With cameltoe. Well, it's not the first time the pants-optional CEO has ever-so-slyly slipped labia lips into an ad. And I'm fairly certain it won't be the last. (thanks to Bill Green at MTLB for the screen grab from Facebook.)

PSA: Porn stars who don't use rubbers tell us to use rubbers.

(via) Brazzers, one of the most popular porn sites that, according to Wikipedia, "specializes in large breasted actresses, MILF scenarios and actors with large penises," has just released this "Get Rubber!" video featuring three frankly-speaking adult film actresses shaking their sticky fingers at us fucking civilians. From the press release:
"This is a turning point, a truly historic moment in the billion-dollar adult industry. Never has a producer of adult content supported, funded and promoted a global campaign supporting safe sex … until now."
Truly historic? Talk about faking it.

Latest American Apparel not-porn ad features a porn actress.

(click ad for closer look)
(update: read the comments: it looks like this "model" is in fact a porn performer named Faye Valentine who has appeared in such films as Cock Pigs.)
update #2: another anon commenter says this isn't Faye Valentine, just a UCLA student who just happens to look exactly like her.)
Happy 4th weekend, beach/lake/pool goers. This is the latest amateur not-porn ad via the pants-optional Colonel. No, that there high-couture pose is so's potential customers can get the best look possible at the American Apparel nylon tricot suit. Just like this (nsfw) pose was the best option for selling t-shirts. And this topless Lohan look-a-like was the best model choice for selling men's briefs. And putting stirrup socks on an otherwise nude model was the best way to stir up stirrup sock sales. Or showing an extreme close-up of about 1/10 of a thong was the best way to advertise thongs. Or...forget it. Love your t-shirts though, Dov!

What an American Apparel TV commercial might look like.

Sorry I'm a little late with this, but American Apparel actually shot a three-minute video called "Operation Freedom!" to ostensibly promote a "super mega" July 4th sale (click HERE to watch video). It was shot on VHS tape, SP mode, and the word "people" is spelled "poeople" in the opening title board. It stars, I'm assuming, three local L.A. AA employees dressed in AA summer garb shooting super-soakers. It's not really porny like their print ads, and is actually so insipidly stupid that it's not completely horrible—though I would have shaved two minutes off of it. previous videos from the AA YouTube channel: 16 seconds of Kristen trying on polka-dot panties.

Fake AA ad artist interacts with fake HBO ad.

(click image for closer look)
In previous posters placed next to other ads, the fake American Apparel ad prankster has 1) posited that iPod Girl is shiny and sheer under her skirt, and 2) told Hollywood and E where to stick it. Now, the artist graphically answers a vulgar ad for Tru Blood, a fake beverage hatched by HBO to help create buzz for its upcoming Fall vampire series True Blood. After several graphic depictions of the female nether region, this is the first penis we've seen. As usual, the artist uses a headline from a real American Apparel ad, though if I may be critical of this genius's work for a sec, "Swim" doesn't really work that well with this hardening schlong artwork. Either "Hiking" or "Hello" would've been better choices. Just sayin'. Also, Don Cheadle doesn't look pleased.

Panty video by American Apparel.

It's just 50 seconds of panties and ass (including the "Tap panty"); but blurred ass. This is a censored version of a racy video that went up on YouTube about a week ago—and was almost immediately pulled. Fortunately for me (and unfortunately for you), I got to see the original blur-less butt, which may belong to the star of AA's first :16 foray into video artistry, "Kristen tries on polka dot panties").
The shitty accompanying music of this panty video is a piece called "Manty" by Frenchman Sébastien Tellier. Not coincidentally, American Apparel collaborated with Tellier for a three-month pre-release of his most recent recording "Sexuality"—it tastefully features a man on a horse between boobs as cover art. You can go here to listen to his bland brand of awful lo-fi electronica, which actually auditorily fits the AA aesthetic perfectly.

New American Apparel shoe ads: There will be ass.

The pants-optional CEO finally hired an actual pro photographer, Tony Kelly, to shoot a new F/W 2011-12 footwear campaign. (He saved money though on the model fees—no faces.) Gone is the amateur soft porn oeuvre that titillated (nsfw), ass-ilated (nsfw) and pube-ilated (nsfw) the fashion world. Not gone: a touch of sleaziness. But it's a classier look for the perv.
Lately, Lovey Dov has taken his signature ad "concept" in new adventurous directions—like with these watercolor, graphite pencil, and line drawing executions (all nsfw). Thanks to Pete and Stephanie for the tip.
update, via Ryan of AA's marketing dept: "The images on today's post are not part of any American Apparel campaign and we have not and are not running them. Can you please clarify that?"
So, you released them to get some free advertising? You guys must be in worse financial shape than everybody thinks.

The latest from American Apparel's crack ad team.

(click ad, via) That's adult film actress Faye Reagan/Valentine (filmography includes "Cock Pigs"), one of the pants-option CEO's favorite rub-out session muses (first AA ad appearance here). This ad for "Lace" is from the Austrian edition of Vice, the publication reserved for the primmest AA ads. Thus concludes the latest update of my obsessive coverage of American Apparel's continuing sullying of the Swiss typeface Helvetica.

American Apparel phones it in.

(click ad to, well, I guess see how opaque the tights are, you pervs)
In the next ad, AA will just go ahead and forget the tights.
Time for a recap: First, they "cleverly" played with "Hiking." Then, they did some crack. Next, they left off letters from product names. After that, it was fetish overload. And lastly, simulated(?) masturbation. Now, I guess the "creative director" is on vacation? Well at least they remembered the logo.

Earlier this week , I mentioned that Butt magazine was looking for hott boy-toy American Apparel models—and here they are! Look at the AA getting all conceptual again, albeit with an oh-so-tired joke. Welcome to the slutty fold gentlemen! Hey AA? Bring the bare female ass now too! (image via) update: ad is a couple of years old. Way to stay current, Gawker/me.

American Apparel's first ever conceptual ad.

So those simple, sleazy kids at American Apparel—who have been blogging continually about copyranter posts in their daily updates (here's one)—have thrown us a curve ball here. Sure, In the past, we've had Tits one, two, three times. But, now we have Tits + "artwork." What do you think the art director/photographer is trying to say here? All three deer have antlers, or "racks," which of course means they're all male bucks. And the model is shyly covering her apparently ample breasts, or "rack." Hmm. I believe this ad is a statement against the objectification of women, right? The retailer is probably feeling guilty for having unabashedly, uncreatively and unceremoniously stuck ass in our face so many times. So Bravo, AA!
UPDATE: Could the model be a tranny? Inquiring commenters want to know. AA has dabbled in the transgendered world.

Dov Charney risks death by opening American Apparel stores in China.

At right is the ad (click for closer look) American Apparel ran heralding their expansion to Japan. Now the pants-optional CEO, in a move timed to coincide with this Summer's Beijing Olympics, has announced his intention to seed China. Judging by his ads, he definitely seems to have a pretty strong case of Asian Fever—so the move isn't that surprising. However, paging through April's Radar magazine, I see that the following crimes are punishable by death in China: organizing pornographic clubs; running a brothel; rape (statutory?); trading in women and children; drug and cigarette smuggling; and graft. I think it's safe to say the Chinese in-store displays won't look anything like this.
