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.

American Apparel inserts three fetishes into one small, tight ad.


(click image for close-up look, you fiends)
Asians. Feet. Crotch shots
. Bravo, Lovey Dov Charney. You've raised the Perv Alert level to Red. Let's recap: First, you hit the thong enthusiasts. Next, you showed us a little ass crack. Then, came an ambiguous headline/visual sexual puzzle. And now this "Hooters" shorts ad (I don't see a trademark Dov, did you get permission from Hooters® to use their name? I'm sure you did.). Charney may have cashed out, but he's obviously still got his smelly, sticky fingers all over the advertising. But because AA doesn't exploit foreign workers, it's all OK...right?
update: as reader/commenter hjih points out, that's not just a crotch shot, it's camel toe.
previous American Apparel ads:
1. Tights.
2. Stirrup Socks.
3. Thong.

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!
Link Haze coming later this afternoon. No posts tomorrow. Back Monday. (scanned from the back of this week's L)

American Apparel Previews Possible Next Ass Without A Face To Appear In Advertising.

BIG news, via the American Apparel daily updates: "Lisa" says AA sent out a cASSting call for new models, "particularly ones with great, how do we put this delicately...assets."
From their "buttload" of applicants, this is the Ass they posted. Not bad, not bad. I'd like to see a rear view before saying it belongs on six meter subway posters. Anyway, let's guess which AA fashion her ass will be selling: Tights? Maybe a Thong? Or possibly the Chain-Link, Thigh-High Socks?
One thing's for sure: we ain't gonna see her face.

T'aint another American Apparel ad, is it?


(click image for closer look, perv)
'Tis. It's for the "Baby Rib Thong," found in a Danish biannual "art" magazine called "S." No, I don't know what the "S" stands for. Last AA thong ad, we at least got to see a little more of the model and product. Maybe next thong ad, they'll crop right in on her vulva? And forget the thong? Shit, for all we know, that could be AA founder Dov Charney's waxed nether-region. It's 8:30, and I have nothing else to say about this sublime piece of advertising art. related: here's two more ads that feature models wearing thongs—for Perrier and for a German technological career forum (the most gratuitous use of ass in an ad ever, I believe.).

The latest from American Apparel's crack ad team.

(click ad, via) AA ad currently running in the French issue of Vice that's advertising, I guess, thongs. Translation: "Human Pyramid." But what does it mean? The graininess. The mirror shot. The dirty feet. So fucking depressing. Since his company is in trouble, does this ad conceptualize the pants-optional CEO's current mindset? French philosophy students, please interpret. Previous AA conceptual ad. Previous AA Thong ads (nsfw). And, previous AA French ad (nsfw).

It's Friday. Why don't you masturbate?


(click image. unzip.)
It's the latest unimaginative American Apparel soft porn ad featuring another probably underage girl. For the record, the ad is for AA's new "Chain-Link Thigh-High Socks." Also, for the record, I give up. You win Dov Charney. I've tried hard (heh) to find some sort of relevant sociological angle in your endless string of pervy advertisements. But, no dice—I'm tired and my head is throbbing (heh).
So instead of half-baked analysis, I'm offering up this post strictly as a public service to horny readers. Go ahead. Stare at her ass. Rub one out. You're welcome. If she doesn't do it for you, Here's seven more exploited girls from Charney's stable (don't read the posts, just click on the pics):
Tight Ass in Tights; Chesty Brunette Masturbates; Barely-Covered Nipples; Asian Cameltoe; Tight Asian in Tights; No Panties/Ass Crack; Hiking Boots and Thong.
Oh, and for you Homo men and Hetero women, go here and here.

Another fake American Apparel billboard insertion.

(click image to see insertion)
Actually this time, her finger isn't quite inserted in one of her holes (last time, at least one finger, maybe two, was buried in her pooper). But anyway, I'm glad our prankster continues to bravely fight ad pornography is his or her own ironic and graphically appealing way; though this self-diddling pose will probably just by replicated by the uncreative Mr. Pantsless in some future AA Ribbed Thong or "Tap" Panty ad iteration.

American Apparel inserts mindlessly provocative poster in SoHo.


(click pic for better look)
Poster @ West Broadway and Grand. Apparently unsatisfied with their live models simply showing cameltoe or ass crack or an embedded thong, AA switches to illustration to present even more explicit porn.
(tip from Karen Woodiel, via the new shelton wet/dry—where a commenter brings up a fair question: is it a spoof? Well, it does have a logo with a ™.)
update: Jezebel editor Moe Tkacik says it is/was a fake; it has since been covered up by another ad)

(NSFW) American Apparel Anthropological Advertising Archive Excavation.

(click ad) Friend of copyranter Imp Kerr dug through the deep dirty AA ad archive to unearth the first time the pants-option CEO went blue. The year was 2003 and the shoot, featuring two employees, was held in LA's Echo Park during a "panty fitting meeting"(?). Poor, poor Helvetica. Previous AA Panty Ads:
The Panty Video.
The "Hiking" thong.
T'aint another AA ad?
The latest from AA's crack ad team.
The "Tap" panty w/ ass crack/cameltoe.
