    The director called the clothier "sleazy" and "adolescent."

    Takes one to know one, I guess.

    Once again I just have to ask who is buying this crap? I've never seen anyone walking around in a lime-green leotard with a tiny little T-shirt over it. And their clothes don't look good on a size anything. Not that I've seen anyone in said clothes besides their weird looking models. And don't get all in my face, they probably look great in the real world but they photograph, light, and paint their freaky models to look like half-witted heroin addicts. I'm assuming. I suppose they really could be intellectually-challenged anorexic drug-addicts, but I doubt it.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't AA traffic almost exclusively in shiny knitwear that only looks good on size -0000s? It's not like they're the most versatile of retailers, or anything.

    FWIW: I went to school with Mia's kids... and while Woody certainly has his issues, Mia's fucking NUTS, OK? The whole situation was weird and fucked up for sure, but Mia had her role in raising SoonYi and wasn't the best parent in the world... or even on the block.


    SoonYi and Woody have been together for close to 15 or 20 years now, and have kids together and stuff. It's obviously a solid relationship despite it's odd beginnings. Get over it, people.

    @nex0s: I would never dream of getting involved with a girlfriend's ex. So marrying your mother's ex lover and the father of your brother (even though no blood affinity) just strikes me as being a very spiteful thing to do. And no, I don't blame it all on the mother for Soon Yi's behaviour. And I take with a pinch of salt third hand descriptions of other people's parenting skills, having heard too many friends' and colleagues putting the boot into their own parents to take it seriously other than in exceptional cases. Woody Allen showed a complete lack of judgment and ethics by having a sexual relationship with Soon Yi. It showed what an utter and contemptible sleazeball he was. You would think that makes him the perfect figurehead for American Apparel

    @Rare Affinity: agreed. even if Mia is a total nutjob (she might be, I wouldn't be shocked) how does that excuse what he did? If anything it makes the situation worse, because she was clearly desperate to escape an unhappy household and turned to him. Instead of being an adult and helping her, he fucked her.

    Good for Sarah Brown for at least renting her frocks and not expecting to be given them gratis by designers. Nor would it sit well with the general populace at the moment for her to be squandering a small fortune just so she could appear in a different outfit every day.
    I do think it is rather sad though that both Sarah Brown and Michelle Obama appear to have put their own careers on hold for the sake of their husbands' career. Dennis Thatcher never gave up his directorships all those years Maggie was in power. Moreover Cherie Blair managed to carry on being a top barrister whilst Tony was Prime Minister. It just seems out of kilter with the experience of most married women who HAVE to continue working.

    The company is also busy harassing Woody Allen. The director called the clothier "sleazy" and "adolescent."


    I don't think Woody was talking about American Apparel, Tatiana. The interview was for Playboy & he was actually listing his biggest turn-ons.

    Urban Outfitters and American Apparel are two of my least favorite stores ever. Not just because they have nothing in my size (12 or 14) but because the staff is full of the worst kind of hipsters ever.
