American Apparel has many-an-eyebrow raised at their newest display mannequins. Right in the front window of their New York store, stand 3 seemingly normal mannequins - female, loosely tied-back hair, glasses - wearing sheer lingerie. Nothing so shocking about that, I'm sure you're thinking.

According to various online newspapers and websites, District Visual Manager Dee Myles says that it is "important to have instances spark up curiosity and conversation about what we deem beautiful and sexy." And the American Apparel New York window display is set to send tongues a-wagging with that very taboo topic of conversation.
Looking at their website, they have kept to their "theme" of letting their models go au naturale (though very much more manicured); and their stand of no photoshopping also seems to be true:

Drop me a comment with your opinions on the matter, and maybe why you think that way? Or even just a comment on what you think of the display, regardless of your thoughts on personal maintenance! ;p
Til next time,

I <3 America Apparel! The "bush campaign" was inspired by Petra Collin's menstruating, masturbating vagina tshirt, also designed and produced by the brand. I have a major girl crush on her and her views so I'm all in fer this. I don't really shave my armpits, even when I've to wear sleeveless top so it comes as no surprise to me. <333
ReplyDeleteHaha..Yeah I read about that.. Not sure I'd be one to buy that tshirt though - dont need to be reminded of what I have to go through every month ugh,
DeleteUntil now still no waxing of other parts for me except the legs >< haha
ReplyDeleteHaha.. Even waxing your legs hurts right? I did laser hair removal for my armpits.. Wish I had the money to do my legs too T.T
DeleteLuckily I'm a guy so I don't need to worry much, though I shave my beard and trim my nasal hair regularly. :-) Every body part includes hair serves a purpose, so personally I think it is not really necessary for female to shave it (but a bit of "gardening" would be nice). To me, totally removing "public hair" is just weird.
ReplyDeleteCan't say I dont agree with you Murphy - it all serves a purpose, but just like everything else, maintenance is key I guess! =)
DeleteI just love pubic air.
ReplyDeleteAdult people shouln's never remove it totally
