I LOVE THIS PICTURE!
American Apparel defends the use of porn star models. [Link]
This is so obnoxious. They think they are being pro active by not using models with silicone, collagen, or retouching and for using "average" models or varying ethnicities. The most variation in ethnicities I see is the occasional girl with dark hair and busy eyebrows with slightly exotic but mostly white appeal.
They like the irony in using porn stars to sell clothing. I remember when American Apparel started gaining momentum and they loved to praise the fact that they use "real" women. Now are using women whose entire purpose in life is to simulate/recreate/perpetuate male fantasies.
In the image above you BARELY even see the tube socks porn star Sasha Grey is wearing. What's the point if I can't see the product?
(Disclaimer: I only know Sasha Grey from her role, playing herself, on Entourage.)
