There’s all sorts of drum beating happening over on Gawker about the “new standard” of appearance American Apparel is enforcing on its employees and new hires. There isn’t anything remarkable to me about a company that’s in the business of style taking an active, even controlling, interest in the appearance of the employees representing it, […]

Today in Dads Embarrassing their Unwitting Sons on the Internet
