- “You think gay people love Gaga? You should hear when a Robyn song comes on at a gay bar. Then it is fucking over.” Truer words have never been spoken. I’ve burned down several dancefloors to “Dancing On My Own” and have been practicing my backwards roll for “Call Your Girlfriend.” These and other alleged truths, courtesy of “The Secrets Gay Men Don’t Want Straight People to Know.” [Gawker]

American Apparel Shiny Shorts & Shiny Ruched Tube Bra, currently on sale for $25 on eBay…at least it was until I decided I needed it as part of my work wardrobe

In an effort to expand distribution beyond that of its quickly-failing stores, Charney is trying to capitalize on the some 30,000 monthly searches for AA on eBay by selling directly to the inquisitive customer.

Purchases will be made via eBay’s checkout system while AA will handle the shipping and delivery. In return, American will pay eBay a commission on all sales.

This venture is believed to be “part of a larger upcoming eBay platform for dedicated brand stores,” but eBay’s keeping mum on the subject…which means it probably is. American Apparel on the other hand wants you to know they’re not going anywhere.

With talks to open up to four leased spaces in Bloomingdale’s, leased spaces already opening up in three Selfridges across the pond as well as a pending deal to provide apparel to 2500 campus stores nationwide, you’ll have no problem finding your fill of  high-waisted jeans, sheer bodysuits and crotchless what-have-yous.

- Michael Kors, Diane Von Furstenberg and Tory Burch will be on Oprah tomorrow for her very last MAKEOVER SHOOOOOOOOOOOW! EVERYONE! GETS! A WRAP-DREEEEEEEESSSS! [Twitter]

- Dov Charney no longer holds the majority share in American Apparel after an influx of cash last week from a group of Canadian funders, including private investor Michael Serruya. Unlike everyone else in the world, Serruya has confidence in the American Apparel brand and in Dov Charney, whom he thinks is the victim of a “shakedown,” in reference to that whole sex slave thing. [WWD]

- Are your alarms set? Are your puffy-sleeved gowns steamed and at the ready? The Royal Wedding is tomorrow, meaning that people might stop doing creepy things like tattooing their front teeth with Prince William‘s and Kate Middelton‘s likenesses, or spending 490 bucks (or three easy payments of 163 bucks)  for a vinyl doll bearing the Issa engagement dress seen round the world (as soon as that wedding dress debuts, however, that doll is getting an upgrade). But there’s perhaps nothing creepier– or…classier? —  than slipping on some royally-inspired latex to get it on in the boudoir. Though for $13, I’d expect more than three lousy Will and Kate Jimmyhats — I’m ready to consummate all over that couple. [Fashionista]

- Karl Lagerfeld, contrary to popular belief, will not be involved in the creation of Paper Passion, a fragrance inspired by the smell of books as reflected in a badly-worded statement allegedly from his European PR  person. [Mimi Frou Frou]

- Vidal Sassoon? More like Vidal Sassy.When asked about Kate Middleton‘s hair, the iconic hair-raiser said that it was “kind of neither here nor there” and said of Michelle Obama, “Oh! What wonderful straightening techniques they have today.” Hmm, someone’s sharpened their scissors and they. Are. Out. [Financial Times]

- Sassoon might want to keep comments like that to himself, no matter how innocent, since the British police are not having it for the Royal Wedding. 5,000 cops will be on hand this Friday to ensure that no one ruins this most beautiful, and costly, of days. They are ready to respond “robustly, quickly and firmly,” which is coincidentally how I respond to most “threats” or as I like to refer to them, “come-ons.” [Reuters]

- The world’s most expensive shoe costs nearly $230,000 and is made of solid gold and over 2200 diamonds. That’s nothing, I’ve got the world’s most expensive Crocs:  $250, made of solid plastic and Cubic zirconia. It goes really well with my world’s most expensive velour tracksuit. [Telegraph]

- Noted Jew, Donna Karan, thinks John Galliano‘s anti-Semitic remarks were “”blown up out of proportion.”  Karan goes on to say that Galliano is “a wonderful designer, a brilliant designer, and he probably needs help and support right now.” Well, I already know of someone who’s on the help and support bandwagon. [The Cut]

- Remember when Matthew Williamson said that Kate Middleton “isn’t a fashion bunny” and “I don’t know why everyone in fashion is waiting to see what she wears. I’m, like, thinking: get over it.” Well, turns out he was just “misquoted”: “I was referring to the fact that I’d been asked about her three times previously in the same night so it was more that I was over the fact that I’d been asked repeatedly about her. I’m setting the record straight: I’m a big fan and I’m sure she’ll make an amazing choice [for her wedding dress].” Yeah, that record is about as straight as Elton John‘s Oscar party. [Fashionista]

- The sight of Anna Wintour in Easy Breezy Tennis Casual was at first jarring. Then my mind was officially blown when I learned that she was in $158 J. Brand boot-cut jeans. Not because they were $158 J. Brand jeans, but a boot cut! I recently dug up a pair of flairs that I may or may not have stolen from a fifteen-year-old girl and of course proclaimed that the boot-cut was back. Anna Wintour is totes copying me, you guys. [The Cut]

- James Franco has retired from Twitter, leaving a noticeable dearth of kitten pictures and tirades against Bruce Villanch. I’d be happy to take up the latter cause. [EW]

- According to American Apparel‘s Chairman Dov Charney, the company is doing just fiiiiiine, thank you: “We have a variety of options. We could do a private placement of stock. Or we could use the resources we have. We do $10 million a week in sales.” However, $10 mil a week in sales didn’t keep the company from an $86.3 million net loss in 2010. I guess sheer bodystockings aren’t as popular as they used to be. [WWD]

- And this is a sure fire sign that you’re company is on the brink of disaster. American Apparel‘s resident sex criminal/CEO, Dov Charney, bought six million shares of his own company in an attempt to inject a little more cash into the much-beleaguered retail giant. Shouldn’t he be using that money for his inevitable legal fees? [WWD]

- Abercrombie and Fitch — you know that company that apparently sells clothes with models who don’t wear any — felt a little pressure after releasing their push-up bikini top for girls as young as 7 years old from like…everyone and have thus taken the only logical step: removing the word “push-up” from the description, of course! It’s good to know with American Apparel on shaky ground, we can always depend on Abercrombie & Fitch to maintain fashion’s moral integrity. [The Globe and Mail]

- Target is apparently offering a Mossimo knock-off of Proenza Schouler‘s PS1 bag and Jack and Lazaro are none too happy about it. Target on the other hand will neither confirm nor deny the allegations but they did say something about being rubber and Proenza being glue. [NYT]

- Noted actress, Tea Leoni…it is 1998, right? Anyway, Tea Leoni will be starring in a new HBO pilot set in the fabulous, fast-paced world of fashion titled Spring/Fall. The show is being written by one of Six Feet Under‘s scribes and produced by the kids who brought you The September Issue, so Tea Leoni might actually have a career again. The 90s really are back! [Deadline]

- The second gal to accuse Dov Charney of…well, being Dov Charney took to the airwaves to speak to Today. My guess, for a company already on the verge of bankruptcy, this isn’t going to help. Just sayin’. [NY Mag]

- Katie Holmes got down with the Real Housewives of New York at a premiere party for her new fashion short film with John Frieda…hey, remember that time Holmes’ Dawson Creek co-star, Michelle Williams, got nominated for an Oscar? Twice? [Daily Front Row]

- View co-host and EGOT-er, Whoopi Goldberg admitted that she was stoned as a Marley on 420 when she accepted her Best Supporting Actress Oscar at the 1991 ceremony: ”So I smoked this wonderful joint that was the last of my home grown. When he [presenter Denzel Washington] said my name and I popped up, I thought, ‘Oh fuck… okay, up the stairs… around to the podium… there’s millions of people, pick up the statue, get the statue.’” Oooh, Whoopi’s got that home grown ish? Can a bitch come over and hold your Oscar in a very similar state of mind? [DListed]

- Sylvester Stallone time traveled back to 25 years ago when he was still relevant, liked what he saw and decided to start a clothing line. Never one to rest on his laurels, Sly’s line will be inspired by Rocky (“the gentleman”) and Rambo (“the rebel”). [Fashionologie]

- Dov Charney simply can’t help sexually harassing his employees. And they can’t stop trying to  sue his pants off. Of course, there are much easier ways to get Dov’s pants off — like saying “Hi, Dov. I’m basically legal.” [NY Times]

- Once upon a time, Abby Lee Kershaw was a little girl with a big dream. Though she looks like she belongs on an episode of My So-Called Life/Clarissa Explains It All,  one can see the potential that the Kaiser can’t seem to get enough of. [Stardust and Sequins]

- Sesssilee Lopez‘s mom has written a book “to help other parents help their daughters become high fashion models.” As a “super momager,” Janice Celeste encountered her fair share of the fashion world’s craziness, such as “one model who dipped cotton balls in orange juice and consumed it to feel full. Later it came out that she had anorexia.” Janice Celeste says anorexic, I say genius. [Fashionista]

-  After killing an intruder with a pink .38-caliber pistol, beauty queen Meghan Brown threw on some lingerie for a steamy photoshoot. Why? “I wanted to make some money. I wanted to capitalize on this. I’m the perfect example of why women should have a gun.” Then she asked if anyone had a problem with that while pulling a sequined pistol with lace trimming out of her cleavage. [The Daily]

- Kiki de Montparnasse wants you to get Kinky de Montparnasse while checking your mate with this sensual chess set with pieces made out of sex toys. Get your rooks off. [Kiki de Montparnasse]

- Chris Brown is “disappointed” in his actions after busting a window at Good Morning America‘s studios earlier this week after host Robin Roberts asked him about that little thing with Rihanna. Geez, you savagely beat someone up, get a restraining order against you and become a social pariah, and suddenly you can’t even throw a chair out of a window in peace. [The Daily Beast]

- And in celebration of Twitter‘s 5th anniversary (#OMG), Refinery29 has blessed us with their list of the 10 Most Annoying Types of Fashion Twitterers. They forgot “The Swag Slut” — The shallow, opportunistic media-whore who will do anyone and anything to get free stuff. Also known as @LesFabian. [Refinery29]

- American Apparel has hired a new retail executive in Marty Staff to dig them out of the clusterfuck known as their crippling debt. With a reported net loss of $67 million over the first nine months of 2010, they’ll need a very large shovel. Perhaps CEO Dov Charney can start funneling some money from his secret sex slave ring to boost revenue. I’m not saying break up the sex slave ring, god forbid, but this is the age of synergy. A sex slave sweat shop, perhaps? [The Cut]

- Vogue Italia‘s EIC, Franca Sozzani wags her bony little finger at pro–anorexia websites for propagating eating disorders in young girls while defending  designers who altruistically “discard those [models] who are visibly suffering from nutritional problems.” Well, as long as they’re discarded…. [Vogue.it]

- Dov Charney has been accused of behavior even despicable by his loose, scumbaggy standards. What could that possibly be, you ask? How’s about subjecting a young girl to sex slavery for her 18th birthday (allegations AA denies). Happy Birthday — slip on this muzzle!…The Charlie Sheen Story. [Racked]

- “Artist” Richie Budd has encased a bunch of not completely unattractive frat boys behind Plexiglass in the exhibition, “Come on Guy” (one must assume) for the sake of art. And also for the sake of perverts who have been banned from every other peepshow in town. [Refinery 29]

- Kate Middleton to wear Alexander McQueen at wedding? Reportedly, the princess-bride-to-be consulted British Vogue‘s EIC, Alexandra Shulman over the momentous gown. All hail the McQueen! [The Cut]

- Matthew Morrison‘s album art was clearly dug up from a never released early-90s Richard Marxx project. Meanwhile, shelve this easy listening snoozefest and give me Amber Riley‘s record, ASAP. [Just Jared]

- Kanye West will not be attending Central Saint Martins after all, it seems. According to a CSM spokesperson: ”He isn’t coming to study the MA course but he did visit the college regarding a separate issue last week.” I hope that “separate issue” involves renaming the college Central Saint Kanyes. [Vogue.co.uk]

- Recession, resmession! Is there even a recession anymore/does anyone even care? Well Michael Kors certainly could give two shits. He’s opened his largest store in the world: a sprawling 7,000 square feet in Paris. [NYT]

- And at the Paris opening of his new store, Mary J. Blige “confirmed a year-old report that she will portray Nina Simone in an upcoming biopic” by covering a Simone classic. I’m officially starting my Oscar pool early this year. [NYT]

- Miss J. Alexander once famously said (on one of the 62 cycles of Top Model): “Fashion has no sympathy or empathy.” Well, if you’re John Galliano, that may not be absolutely true. [The Cut]

- Walking lab experiment James Franco has been tooling around with supermodel Agyness Deyn and has uploaded some of their kooky exploits on the Twitter. [Oh No They Didn't!]

Molestache connoiseur and self-proclaimed perv, Dov Charney

Subject: peace out american apparel… peace out forever.

Dear fellow american apparel employees,

First off I’d like to say working for this company for the most part was pretty fun! I’ve made some excellent friends and met some really cool people. Working for american apparel has opened up many interesting opportunities for me and I am thankful for that. I am also thankful for all my past managers district, store, and backstock(al boyle) I was lucky enough to have kind , thoughtful, intelligent people leading the way.

That said I’d like to share a little of my story.

A little over a year ago when I started with this company I was (although not by my standards) a prime candidate for management. Within my first week I memorized all proper procedures, knew all placements, style codes and any technical aspect of the job. I was even helping my backstock manager with his duties. Being naturally a hard worker, well organized, and to some extent obsessive compulsive helped me to excel easily at my job. As months passed and my responsibilities grew exponentially I received little reward for both my hard work and aptitude. I could already feel the stupidity of 9 dollars an hour. But I sucked up my pride to work with cool friendly people. I’ll try to condense this a little..

Around 2 months in: I was given the title ‘assistant backstock manager’ and promised a small but reasonable raise. No such raise came.
Around 5 months in: my backstock manager was fired. And instead of promoting me(second in command) to manager they brought in someone who 1. Had worked two months less than me. 2. Knew less about the job. 3. Knew nothing about our store.
Around 7 months in: my backstock manager was once again fired. And once again replaced by someone with less knowledge, and less experience. However, this time my new backstock manager was completely incompetent and entirely unproductive. Although he was good at playing the drums. wwabd.
Around 8 months in: to everyone’s surprise he too was fired(sarcasm)

I thought finally they will make the obvious choice and make me the new backstock manager and I will finally get paid more than 9 dollars an hour for this stupid job.

Around 8.5 months in: I am once again stepped over and another outside person is brought in to be promoted..
By this point I had been screwed too many times to care about my job. I simply concluded that by nature this company is counter productive. Someone might ask why I would be so resentful? If you worked full time for a company for a full year at 9 dollars an hour I could only assume you must be mentally retarded. I however was given a raise of 75 cents so that only makes me partially mentally retarded.

The moral of my story is don’t give a shit about the company because they definitely do not give a shit about you! That is obvious.

I’d also like to share a couple more secrets I’ve learned over the past year:

- don’t be afraid to lose your job. if some shit for brains ass hole like dov or dan sends a quiver down your spine then I truly pity you. they are just men. Stupid spoiled jewish men. Losing 9 dollars an hour is nothing to be afraid of. Certainly nothing worth losing your dignity over. Which brings me to my next point.

- all “head office” employees(with the exception of dom. He is competent) are nothing to fear. These are people with no ambitions nor goals in life. they are content with being the subservient pet of an idiot cocaine addict and blatant self proclaimed pervert. They know they will go no further in life than this company and concurrently don’t mind sucking a little dick once in a while .

- [Other person] is incompetent. [Other person] is useless. [Other person] is a moron. [Other person] is satan incarnate. Ignore her whenever you get the chance.

- Dov charney is an ethical pervert. THAT is why you do perfect fill..

- If you are a hard working valuable employee ask for a raise now.(if you do not receive a raise within three weeks guess what? You’ll never get one.)

- You may ask whatever you want to pretty much anyone in charge, you will receive little to no response you WILL be ignored.

- the company may ask whatever they want of you then place the word “mandatory” after it, If you do not comply you WILL be fired.

- this is just a job you do so you can get drunk on the weekend and have food to eat during the week . it’s not a career do not disillusion yourself in thinking otherwise.

sincerely Ryan Narita
ASSISTANT BACKSTOCK MANAGER

Is anyone else slightly put off by the “stupid spoiled jewish men” comment? Or at all surprised that working for American Apparel completely sucks?

LINK LOVE: Gawker

The CEO of American Apparel at least has a sense of humor when it comes to the countless sexual harassment claims about him. These ads are titled “In Bed With The Boss” and are super tongue in cheek.

LINK LOVE: Styliete

To say we love pervs would be an understatement. WE LIVE FOR PERVS. Here’s our list of our all time favorite naughty fashionites, who are infamous for their stylish perversions.

(In no particular order)

Terry Richardson. The Anything But Camera Shy Perv

To explain Terry’s perverseness to a non-fashion person, would be equal to trying to explain restraint to Peaches Geldof. Aside from being well known for great photos of young models naked, Terry tips the scales of pervyness by asking girls to call him “Uncle Terry” and breaking down the fourth wall by flipping the script and letting models shoot him, usually with his cock hanging out. Classic.

Recently several models have come out to say how they felt exploited by him. One even went on to say, “I can remember doing this stuff, but even at the time, it was sort of like watching someone else do it, someone who couldn’t possibly be me because I would never touch a creepy photographer’s penis.” Hater. Sounds like someone was angry they didn’t photoshop a little more cellulite of her ass and has sour grapes that Uncle Terry never called her back.

Karl Lagerfeld, The Creepy Old Man Perv

The bees knees at Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld has been the epitome of luxury since taking the reins at one of the industry’s most respected fashion houses. Of course, on the surface Kaiser Karl seems posh and prim with well suited attire but underneath lies a ragging sexual energy that at his age puts him in a category shared by that Uncle who insisted of having you sit on his lap when you were 9 and that creepy old pedophile from Family Guy, hmmmmmm.

When he’s not shooting photos of his lust interest Baptiste Giabiconi, Gramps is cruising the back pages of the Village Voice for male companions.  He recently went on the record with Vice Magazine and told the world how he enjoys the company of male escorts saying, “I don’t like sleeping with people I really love. I don’t want to sleep with them because sex cannot last but affection can last forever. I think this is healthy.” He continued by saying that he only has sex with “high-class escorts.”

Later in the interview, Lagerfeld revealed his views on the hierarchies of society: “For the way the rich live, [sex with escorts] is possible. But the other world, I think they need porn.”  And I think I need a shower [and a larger bank account].

Dov Charney, The All American Perv

The mustache behind American Apparel (more like American A-perv-al, hahaha, I crack myself up) is not only a fan of porn stars and barely dressed hipsters, but also of sexual harassment charges. Charney has been the subject of several lawsuits, none of which have been proven, by former employees who claim the Chief Erecting Officer has had his share of inappropriate office interactions.  With reports of touching himself during magazine interviews and running around his Los Angeles factories in his underwear, it’s no wonder that this demigod of hipsterdom will always make the list.

VIDEO: Dov Charney Makes Sharpies Sexy

Madonna, The Grandma Perv

Let’s be honest, Madonna has done it all, and we mean literally done it all. She came out with her now infamous “SEX” book which featured strong adult content and hardcore pornographic pictures. She had a three-way kiss with America’s then virginish Britney Spears. And she’s had more wide-loads down her vadge-pass than the Holland Tunnel.  But all in all, Madonna has reign the supreme bitch of perversion.

Currently, the queen of pop is dating a sexy, latin boytoy, Jesus Luz. While that in itself isn’t horrible, it’s a massive age difference between the two that really wins this Material Girl a spot on this list, cause Jesus is technically old enough to be Madge’s grandson. We’ve done the math.

Tom Ford, The “No Ones Complaining” Perv

He’s just too sexy. He can talk about dicks and sex all day long, pose nude and force random objects up models asses but there is not a person in the world who’d ever complain. By far the sexiest of the pervs, Tom Ford reigns supreme.

Olivier Zahm, The European Editor Perv

The editor of the border pushing Purple Magazine, Olivier counts Terry Richardson and Karl Lagerfeld as BFF’s. Him and Terry are often seen together at events and if you, like me, are addicted to Olivier’s diary you’d see daily updates of naked women, naked Olivier, and of course cute photos of his daughter.

Isabel Mastache, The “Is That A Banana In Your Pocket” Perv

The pants pictured above. Enough said.

Calvin Klein, The Perv Nothing Comes Between

From banned basement shots, to getting little kids in their underwear, to perverting the streets with people in acts of sexual throws, Calvin Klein has managed to keep things teetering on the border of perversion for decades.

This also the same mind behind a teenage Brooke Shields saying “Nothing come between me and my Calvin’s” in a very inappropriate, slightly statutory ad. His latest perversion includes ads featuring threesomes, a naked Eva Mendes, the bare backside of a oiled up ebony model, and Twilight’s Kellan Lutz and True Blood’s Mehcad Brooks wearing nothing but undies asking us if we want to see their dick!!! Not bad for one season of advertising.

Jane Aldridge & Bryan Boy, The Blogging Pervs

Daniel Saynt might enjoy promoting Fashion Porn to the masses, but two fashion bloggers bring it up a notch in naughtiness.

A self described “Dirty Old Man”, Jane may appear to be a sweet little Texan who loves shoes and raiding her momma’s closet, but deep down we know she’s got it in her to make this list. Her other, less known blog They Don’t Call Them Lovers In High School runs the gauntlet of perversion with photos of naked anime schoolgirls, full frontal crotch-shots, and of course, stuffed animals in inappropriate positions.

The Bobby Trendy of fashion blogging, Bryan Boy’s perversion knows few bounds. From listing “Anal Sex” as a favorite activity on Facebook to submitting photos of himself with his pants down to Style.com, Bryan Boy manages to remain perverted while rocking a killer set of heals. Recent updates on cruising Craigslist for casual encounters and hitting up Grindr for nightly interests, make this one blogger who’s not afraid to give it to us straight and for that reason we totally love him!!!

Lady Gaga, The Whole New Level Perv

In a matter of a year, Lady Gaga has reigned supreme as master of the next generation of pervs. She rarely wears pants, makes out with just about anyone, humps pool toys, dances around prison cells naked, claims to have sex with everyone she meets and will not stop until she’s on the ground, grinding to exhaustion.

Her latest video Telephoneis a nearly ten minute extravaganza in which she shows off her crotch, kisses some prison bull dikes, drives a “Pussy Wagon”, plays lesbian lover to Beyonce and finally dances around the dead bodies of her poisoned victims. LOVE IT!!! Just wish I was her next victim, this girl is like butter for a fat person, necessary in large amounts!!!

Dov Charney likes big butts and he cannot lie…

Celebrating Sesame Street‘s 40th anniversary, American Apparel the California-based clothing company will release a “limited-edition”  t-shirt that will feature line drawings of Jim Henson‘s characters.

My beloved past time Jim Hensen characters of The Muppets and Sesame Street, are to be feature on American Apparel tees. Not sure if I feel to comfortable with Dov Charney pimping-out my puppet friends. Wait, I can see it now Bert and Ernie plastered on a tee that a jailbait porn-stars is modeling. Being that there’s still a much younger generation that still watches them, this idea does not seem very tactful.

Dov, I’ve heard you don’t even have permission to print the Hensen.

Gawker Stalked

I’m pretty sure I knew nothing about clothing brands when I was 8. But this week this letter from little Miranda O’Brien of Argonne Elementary School popped up on American Apparel’s Twitter feed.

Too soon?

Olga Kurylenko looks like a fierce, Austin Powers secret agent-esque version of an American Apparel ad. Give me a metallic jumpsuit any day of the week, but what I’m really concentrating on here are the accessories. Can I get hooked-up quick with a gold handgun, black crystal-studded cuffs and some huge, elaborate chokers? Ellen von Unwerth did a great job of capturing the action element in these photos, even though it was probably minimal in reality. I can only imagine how much Dov Charney is loving this spread.

Thanks to Egotastic! for the photos.

Jezebel has a very informative article on what American Apparel, and Dov Charney, have been doing to forgo this recession.

A sweatshop free China?  That’s the vision that Dov Charney has as he plans to move American Apparel’s production from downtown Los Angeles to the land of the rising sun.

The Dov has been on everyone’s mind lately but a recent article in WWD reveals the inner workings of this mega brand including the decision to get all cheap laborish on us by moving production to China.

I wonder how China’s decency brigade will take to a CEO who enjoys underwear clad factory tours?

LINKAGE: The Complicated World of American Apparel – WWD.com

Word on street is that American Apparel is laying off hundreds to deal with the shitty economy. Add to that the fact that The Charnmiester is getting sued up the schuptza and well you have a pretty good recipe for shit pie.

Sucks to be you.

By now everyone who knows online fashion should know who the infamous Tavi is. For those of you who don’t, she is a cute little 12 year old girl who blogs about her daily fashion choices. Her blog is Style Rookie.

She is hip, she is cool, and it is no surprise that more people are trying to ride her coat tail to success. Caroline the Hipster is one particular character who is trying to be her own little version of Tavi, and I am completely serious that her blog, video, music, and website in general makes me want to jab railroad spikes into my eyes and hang myself with fishing line. You may that think this is a bit much, but she is an embarrassment to the fashion world, and possibly even the hipster nation (yeah, it’s so bad that I feel bad for hipsters).

Everything Tavi has done, this girl has negated it. She is a self proclaimed hipster from Upstate New York, who gives tips on a lifestyle she doesn’t even seem to know anything about. She even goes so far as saying her dream goal is to model for American Apparel, and more or less name drops the company every other sentence that comes out of her mouth. Caroline, it’s really bad when you are giving a company that much publicity and Dov Charney still wants nothing to do with you!

I am done giving this girl undeserving press, and I hope everyone reading this, after watching the video, is just as angry as I am right now. I would love for Caroline to comment or e-mail me or something, so I can figure out how much I have to pay her to never write or videotape herself again. So Caroline if you’re out there my e-mail is corey@fashionindie.com.

Thank God for Tavi and every other good blog out there, because this girl almost just caused me to pack up all my shit and leave the fashion industry.

This is the first and last time I ever link to you Scandalishious so live it up.

Woke up this morning realizing how tired I am of Karl Lagerfeld, John Galliano and Anna Wintour.

They always seem to be playing over-acted versions of themselves. It was endearing at first, almost an expected outcome of the over-indulgent nature of fashion types, but I think that their time has come and is now quickly fleeting. Karl can’t eat a proper meal for fear of tipping the scales and reverting back to his fatty days and Winnie is quickly getting trumped by her children and Ann Slowley in the “ones to give a damn about” department. So here’s my short list of those I think might be the next favorite characters of fashion.

Add you’re own picks in the comments section and we’ll try to keep track.

Christian Siriano – His royal fierceness, if only anyone will pay attention.  Runway is done, but wasn’t he the most interesting character the show has had since the days of that greasy Rasputin looking dude?  I just hope he doesn’t become a cliche as quickly as he’s become relevant.

Tyra Banks - She was Sasha before Beyonce was Sasha and she continues to play young Oprah to a tee. Hopefully the model won’t lose any steam as she continues to fuel a generation of big bootied fashionistas.  Plus, she’s donned a fat suit. What’s not to like?

I

Jeremy Scott - Former drugettes make for great fashion people. His celebrity connections help, but Jeremy is forming a strong posse of media friends and publicists which seem to keep this droopy eyed inmate in the spotlight. Hopefully a downward spiral is in his future, cause you know how we all enjoy a little tragedy with our couture.

Henry Holland - Starting to look like the male version of Agyness Deyn, but still a character to watch, his parties are getting as much attention as his collections and that’s what makes a mere fashion designer a future icon.

You Wish You Were This Coked Up.

Olivier Zahm – Vincent Gallow’s Love Child/Editor of Purple Magazine takes the cake for people we would enjoy spending a Saturday night with and his recent relocation to New York will ensure he continues catching the glare of the paparazzi. Hopefully his legendary attitude won’t let us down.

The Long Lost Member of Gogol Bordello?

Dov Charney - You know you loathe him, but that’s what makes him so much fun.

Andre J - No one can pull off a gown better than this towering Amazon. The beard screams “Look at Me Bitches” while the attitude yells “NOW PAY ATTENTION”. I can’t get enough.

Leigh Lezark – Party Gothic finally has a heroine. Plus she is quite literally the only good thing that came out of that Misshapes thing a few years back. 

Terry Richardson –  Lumberjack shirt + Full Frontal Nudity + Pocket Camera = Instant Icon.

Merlin Bronques (or whatever he’s calling himself these days) – THE ONLY NIGHTLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER WORTH PAYING ATTENTION TO … lately. He’s ditched the wig and now seems to be playing a hipster Clark Kent. His photos are still better wanking fodder than most of the porn on the web and he’s finally going mainstream!!!  If you don’t know him, you better take note.

Isn't Zooey an It Woman by now?

So Nylon recently came out with a list of things to do if you want to be an “It Girl” for their October issue dedicated to the subject. Among the options, dating a rocker, being under 20 years old, and being the spawn of a celebrity made the list according to Jezebel. We’ve got our own thoughts on what it takes to be an “It Girl” but we must warn all that accomplishing all these might just get you an STD and a trip to addiction rehab.

1. Crave a Shit Load of Attention. It’s the attention your parents never gave you cause they were too busy sniffing coke off of Fareah Fawcett’s ass during your quarterly P.T.A meetings. It’s the attention you crave when you hit the strip without a pair of coochy covers on. It’s the attention that makes you look sad enough to give up a “make me feel good” fuck to the first guy who looks your way. Believe me, guys are looking.

2. Suck Cock. Actually Suck a Shit Load of Cock. Like “Porn Star Trying To Break A Guinness World Record” Level Cock Sucking. Former geeky high school boys will pay attention to you if you do. The same boys who have no social life and a shit load of time to snap photos of people (rather than actually party with them) at clubs. The same boys who know HTML and aren’t afraid to blog it. The same boys who will upload your photos making you an “It Girl”. Doing so will guarantee Cory Kennedy fame within two face blasts. Be sure to avert your eyes.

Harley Viera Newton can It Girl. Can You?

3. Drink. A Lot. Drunk chicks dance, are loud as fuck, and get noticed at clubs. You should reek of alcohol every morning and wake up with random sploodge in your hair from all the photographers you blew the night before. (See tip number 2)

4. While You’re Drinking Snort Some Coke. Or Ecstasy. Or Heroin. Or Pixie Sticks. Seriously, drugs make you really, really, really cool. If you’ve been to rehab and you aren’t even old enough to vote you’re on the right track.

5. Look Like Jailbait. Or Better Yet, Be Jailbait. Underage girls get paparazzi and hipster photographers hotter than a 70% off sale at Urban Outfitters. Wax off all signs of pubescent hair and be sure to be slutty enough to get their attention but not slutty enough to seem like you know what your doing. A woman who’s actually capable of seducing someone freaks hipster photographers out and they’ll just blow their load before they snap your photo.

Cory Knows How to Be an It Girl

6. Stalk Dov Charney, Merlin Bronques, Cobrasnake or any other hipster with a camera then repeat steps 1 -5.

7. Shop, Work, and/or Pick Up Your Drug Supply from American Apparel. Seriously.

8. You + A Celebrity’s Dong + Video Camera with Night Vision = Instant “It Girl” Status.

Nudity Helps. ALLOT!!!

9. Don’t Weigh More Than The Thinner Olsen. Better yet, acquire an eating disorder like bulemia, anorexia, or that weird one from Sex and the City where the guy chews food but doesn’t actually swallow it. It Girls must be a size two or zero in order to get noticed and slip in and out of prison bars when their arrested for drunk driving/drug possession/smuggling Canadians across the US border.

10. Be White. Seriously.

11. Attempt To Be Something More Than An Over-Glorified Attention Whore. Consider modeling, becoming a DJ, or creating a t-shirt line. All require absolutely no skill whatsoever and will guarantee you get even more attention.

12. Skip The Higher Education Route. It Girls don’t need to be smart. They just need to be dumb enough to follow all these rules to a tee. Skip the community college application (did you really think NYU is an option when the web is littered with your half-coked out party images?) and just enroll in the school of hard cocks knocks.

Peaches Geldof Can It Girl With a Full Stomach. Can You?

13. Realize That There Is Only ONE Media Outlet That Gives A Fuck About You. Seriously, if it wasn’t for them, you wouldn’t exist so be sure to bend over backwards to appear on their Internet TV shows, support their yard sales, and pick up their dry cleaning while your at it.

Portia Freeman can do the It Girl. Can You?

14. Date Pete Doherty. Works everytime.

15. If All Else Fails There’s Always Lesbianism. It worked for Lindsay and it can work for you.

P.S. Before you all start claiming that I’m a woman hating, misogynistic, asshole let me state first and foremost that I am. If women want to accept a title that praises them for doing nothing more than dressing cute and getting photographed than they deserve to be shit on. If you truly believe in women’s empowerment then don’t support publications that insist on placing coked out, drunk whores on their covers, calling them “It Girls” or deeming their turds worthy of your attention. Let’s get real ladies.

On a side, if any of you want to be deemed “It Girls” by Fashion Indie, send us your photos and a small sentence on what the fuck you’ve done lately that makes you interesting. Dressing well helps (we are a fashion blog) but isn’t necessary. We’re looking for accomplishments like “Didn’t Drop Out of College”, “Just Hosted a Massively Cool Event”, or “Just Found a Cure for Male Pattern Pubic Baldness”. Send them to saynt@fashionindie.com and we’ll feauture you on the site.

I know I’ve been bitching about unoriginal Halloween costumes a lot, but ’tis the season to be judgmental. Before I go completely haywire, let me say that I have a soft spot for Dov Charney’s ridiculous metallic leggings and ultra comfortable dresses. What can I say, I’ve fallen into the trap. But I certainly don’t wear both together; it’s too much.

If you buy all of the pieces for your Halloween costume at one store, it probably sucks. Unless you go as my previous suggestion, garbage, all the components of a well thought out, creative costume wouldn’t be found in one place. Frankly, I don’t know if the peeps over at American Apparel are making a sick joke on their Web site, but I am positive most of the costumes look gross and overpriced. Who wants to drop $80 on a white tee and jeans that is only getting splattered with paint? And would you really buy a nude unitard for $32 and draw pubes all over it? Didn’t think so. If your costume requires a piece from this colorful outpost, by all means, go for it! But if buying an entire costume there is all you can come up with, you need to exercise your right brain.

“See! That’s what a beautiful, intelligent woman wants, to go to dinner in a pair of pants that makes her look good. She’s on top of the fucking world. That’s what it’s all about. The pants! The pants! That’s all a beautiful woman wants! A pair of pants that takes her into a restaurant. She looks beautiful. She looks intelligent! She’s got a pair of pants! She’s on top of the world — and it’s the pants, the pants!”

Girls, are pants all we really want? Cuz I want a killer set of heals…

Thanks Jezebel

Vice Fashion does it again with another Dov Charney feeling photoshoot, but I can’t help but feel that there is a bit more artistic value behind this shoot. The spread is called “T-shirts and the absence on T-shirts”, and I with the title this makes the images seem a bit more artistically focused. I love the photos and the focus on t-shirts. The photos were taken by Blossom Berkofsky, and can be seen in the upcoming Vice Fashion magazine.

Thanks Vice for the pictures.

After:

Well since her boob job Heidi Montag has just been slowly but surely heading down the Aubrey O’ Day path of slutiness. Her new video is just a moving American Apparel ad, and I don’t mean that in a good way, I mean it in a “Oh yes I want you to molest me Dov Charney” kind of way. The video is just a series of compromising positions. So much for being a christian artist, unless she wants to get fondled by a nun.

Thanks Just Jared for the liquid gold that are these pictures

We’re all about pushing the boundaries at Fashion Indie so we’re looking for your very best American Apparel farce ad. It can feature anything you want just so long as it’s in the American Apparel style. We’ll feature our favorite and send the winner two pairs of American Apparel undies. The more pornorific the better, just don’t get us in trouble with the FEDS.

Submit all photos to corey@fashionindie.com

First comes porn, then comes marriage.

Sexy kind-of…

I feel these might be actual ads?

Pretty sure The Dov is actually an ass

It’s ironic cause hipsters can’t fly.

American Apparel is now selling the Hitachi Magic Wand (also known as the vibrator). I guess the market is trying to make vibrators accessible to 13 adolescent girls. Is this sex prevention or a push towards sexuality. Plus, what does Dov Charney know about the female body? Well, he has made money on ads featuring underage girls in weird positions. And the cameltoe must be familiar territory.

Another day, another Dov Charney lawsuit from a female employee.

If he isn’t designing 1970′s inspired, fair-trade cotton clothing, then he’s running around the office making his employees feel uncomfortable, if he’s accomplished that for the day then he’s most likely sexual harassing the female population of his employees.

This time it’s Jeneleen Floyd, who worked at the company for three years-shouldn’t she get some kind of compensation for surviving that long?

You can find the complaint she filed with the courts here

But here’s are the highlights:

11. Defendant Charney repeatedly shouted to Plaintiff that she should be f**king scared” and that if she did not do what he asked, plaintiff needed to resign. Defendant Charney made several references to an interview he had conducted with Jane magazine wherein he had received oral sex from an employee during the course of the interview and the reporter had engaged in masturbation. Defendant Charney sat down and ordered Plaintiff to “pretend to masturbate.”

12. Plaintiff continued in a state of shock and terror and refused to respond in any manner to Defendant’s demands. In addition Plaintiff was extremely embarrassed and humiliated at being sexually objectified in the presence of her co-workers, including her immediate supervisor, Matthew Swenson.

13. After an extended pause waiting for Plaintiff to respond to his command, and realizing that she had no intentions of complying, Defendant Charney then ordered Mr. Swenson to “pretend to masturbate.” As Mr. Swenson complied with his Defendant Charney’s instruction, Defendant Charney moved next to him and simulated an oral sex act with him.

At this point don’t you know what you’re getting yourself into when you decided to work at American Apparel? What does that make, four or five lawsuits from female employees in the last four years? I don’t have any illusion that this lawsuit, just like the previous lawsuits, will stop Charney. See behavior like this not only cements the reputation of American Apparel as edgy, but cements Charney’s legend as the Larry Flynt of fashion. Which I’m sure he would take as a compliment.

American Apparel has come up with an answer for why the Jew Yorker was featured on billboards for the sexually explicit brand, it was a joke.

The Daily News reports, “American Apparel is certainly not marketing their casual wear to Orthodox, black hat rabbis,” said the California company’s lawyer Stuart Slotnick.

The 72-year-old Allen says he never gave the company permission to use an image from the movie “Annie Hall” on billboards in Los Angeles and New York. The billboards have come down, but the image is on the Internet.

American Apparel says the billboards were meant as parody and therefore fair game for anyone to use.

Whether the lawsuit will continue is anyones guess but you’d think that Woody Allen would have a sense of humor. Besides most American Apparel shoppers have no idea who the fuck Allen is, they probably missed the joke completely and figured it was just some photo of a rabbi, not as funny I’m sure, but the comedy in imagining Allen being pissed at Dov is classic.

I think I may officially have a new hero. What Dov Charney sees can only be described as “porn-tastic” (Lauren’s word, not mine).  Which reminds me, when will he start making some really “classy” 70′s inspired porn? I can see it now, “Debbie Does Dov”, where Debbie, dressed in head to toe GAP, goes on the search for the perfect pair of Metalic Gold Lycra leggings.  And who leads her on this hipstatic (hipster + fantastic)  journey? None other than AA CEO Charney, who sports major wood in two-tonal white piping lined briefs.  Smells like two shakes from the herp tree to me.

Radar magazine continues to be my favorite read. They just released an article about American Apparel’s pervy CEO Dov Charney that seems to give the dude some serious credit.  It’s based off the experienced of one AA model who dealt with the t-shirt hawker directly.  It’s quite possibly the best American Apparel article ever!!! Read it now!!!
