    FWIW, American Apparel's bread and butter is actually in the promo world where they print up promotional T-shirts for clients, so I assumed that AA simply produced generic Sesame Street shirts. I work for a magazine that had promo shirts made by AA (ironically enough, the late Clamor magazine had AA print up promo shirts after running a damming expose of the company a few years ago). #sesamestreetamericanapparel

    I just came across the first ad for the collaboration. It looks like Animal would just....chafe.

    @berlitzfrench: I find things like this so disturbing, the taking childhood characters and making them sexually suggestive.. It just seems like once again, females are being simultaneously infantilized and sexualized. #sesamestreetamericanapparel

    Why I can't say that I am surprised that American Apparel would lie through its teeth, I'm not sure how they thought that they would get away with it. Did they really think that they could send out a completely fictional press release and Sesame Street wouldn't find out? I guess it further proves my theory that there is a dearth of intelligence at AA headquarters. #sesamestreetamericanapparel

    I wonder if Lagerfeld was a template for Edna Mode. The resemblance is uncanny, except that Edna rules and Karl drools.

    Oh man, Lagerfeld is so right. I'm plus sized and I'm so ashamed to be seen by anyone that I stay in a closet eating chips and tending to my children.

    Oh wait...that's right I have no children and I work out 3+ times a week and can't even remember the last time I ate a bag of chips.

    ...at least I don't look like an 80 year old Paris Hilton.

    I feel sorry for Lagerfeld. he is obviously angry and bitter inside and he's letting it manifest in his hateful comments. sure we all have preferences in what we find attractive, but that doesn't mean we should talk shit about people who look a certain way. because people who talk nasty shit are generally people who hate themselves most of all.

    Every time I read a quote from Lagerfeld it is something offensive like this. Does he have any redeeming qualities or can I just ignore him?

    Nothing pisses me off more than the assumption that only fat women think anorexia is a problem! Perfectly normal-sized and even slender women are just as disgusted by ninety pound teenagers who are six feet tall as everyone else in the world, and they're the kind of people who ostensibly buy Chanel.

    That's the issue with fashion houses that are too couture-focused; they only care what fashion editors think and could give a damn about the people who are supposed to be "buying" their "products."

    @libertypie: And most of us aren't so much disgusted with the models, as concerned about the promotion of a singular, extreme beauty ideal, and the abominable labor standards in that industry.

    @Hana Maru: As I said below, it's possible not to blame someone for having a disease and still find the symptoms unsettling. When I see a model like that, after my initial reaction to their physical appearance as yes, disgusting, that doesn't mean I'm not fully aware that most of the blame for that belongs with other factors beyond that woman's control. That makes it even more horrifying, frankly.

    I once heard that if someone's opinions are strong and ignorant enough, you can't distinguish them from satire. It is true.
