You’ve seen the ads. Images of fresh-faced, yet been there, girls of questionable age posing seductively to sell clothes. It’s always been American Apparel’s approach to advertising. Gritty, un-retouched, almost slutty imagery but acceptable enough because it looks like pictures a guy might have taken of his girlfriend while fooling around in bed. Writing in the San Fransisco Chronicle, Mark Morford claims American Apparel has gone “pro” hiring AVN porn star Lauren Phoenix. Not that this is actually news with Fleshbot having published this almost a month ago but we thought you’d like to know. Thanks Barry.
