Porn Stars In My Underwear

Oh, I know, it's all horrible and exploitative and demeaning and softcore pornographic and stuff.
It's all destructive and debilitating and morally dubious, the fact that the oddly patriotic clothing company called American Apparel dares to photograph barely of-age girls and boys in sly, smiling, half-lidded, gritty, delightfully sexy poses in order to sell socks and underwear and T-shirts, all manufactured by an L.A.-based company that swears it doesn't employ sweatshop labor and claims it treats its local work force fairly and lovingly and decently, while at the same time it has zero moral issue with hiring -- has anyone noticed? -- true-blue porn starlet and AVN Performer of the Year Lauren Phoenix to model their tube socks and undies and boy-beater tanks.

To which we can only say: God bless them. Mostly.

1. Again. Rule #762. All threads of this nature must be accompanied by pix.

2. I don't know how to post pics

I can never remember the url for the picture hosting sites

[Richardo]

5. Just right click on the pic, click 'Properties'

Highlight the url in the gray box, copy, and paste the url into your post.

Viola!

3. I was just looking at their site yesterday

Someone had linked to it, in a discussion of teeshirt colors.

I had a little wtf moment, when I saw this page: http://www.americanapparelstore.com/2001w.html

Who stands like that? Can you even imagine how dumb a man posing like that would look?

One of the guys here should take a photo of himself posed like that and post it, just to make it clear how absurd that is.

4. I have a friend who was "Best New Starlet" at the AVN in 2000

Violet Blue;

7. Is she still in the biz?

[benburch]

8. Yes!

She has moved out of LA, though... She flies in to work every month or so, but clearly she won't be making as many films as previously.

6. No one can disparage such sentiments ...

Whatever gets you through the night. :P

10. Hey, EP!

LTNS! How are you doing?

[ElectroPrincess]

11. I'm doing well Ben

Many things have transpired since we last chatted. I convey my amends for past disagreements. I would like to believe that we all have matured and moved on with our lives since then.

I've noted and also hope you continue to enjoy success with your website http://WhiteRoseSociety.org

BTW and FYI: I enjoy listening Thom Hartman the most. The radical middle is the place I belong. :-)

Best, EP

12. All that is water under the bridge, my friend.

9. I think I'm as confused about this company

as Mark Morford is. Both good and bad on so many levels.
