American Apparel has caused what’s most likely considered a long-overdue buzz by its higher-ups over its bushy new window display on East Houston Street in New York:

But what does it mean?! Don’t worry, they prepared a speech:
American Apparel is a company that celebrates natural beauty, and the Lower East Side Valentine’s Day window continues that celebration. We created it to invite passerby’s to explore the idea of what is “sexy” and consider their comfort with the natural female form. This is the same idea behind our advertisements which avoid many of the photoshopped and airbrushed standards of the fashion industry. So far we have received positive feedback from those that have commented and we’re looking forward to hearing more points of view.
Unfortunately, at least as of now, this policy has not been adopted for mannequins throughout the AA empire, just this one location. However! If you have not checked in on the lingerie section of their web site lately, you’ll find that female pubic hair, while meticulously manicured, and sometimes in the shape of a heart (aw), has been welcomed there as well.
Just FYI. Groom/don’t groom accordingly.
That is just stupid and I feel sorry for parents that need to explain this to young children. Unreal!
Yeah, Theresa!

Americans are dumb. If it weren’t for the bible pubic hair wouldn’t be a big deal ever.
and yet no underarm hair….
Trying too hard.
All proceeds go to Mirkins of Hope.
Oh! No.
I saw this today on their ig! I love it, I hope the Portland stores will adopt this look as well!
I’m all for pubic hair, but that looks like Rod Blagojevich’s hairpiece.
damn nice bush
Just caught this updated AA press release:
“American Apparel is a company that celebrates under age natural beauty trapped in a dingy sex basement, and the Lower East Side Valentine’s Day window continues that celebration. We created it to invite passerby’s to explore the idea of what is “jailbait sexy with a fake bush” and consider their comfort with our limited idea of the natural female form. This is the same idea behind our advertisements which avoid many of the photoshopped and airbrushed standards of the fashion industry so the awkwardness of what you’re seeing remains unadulterated (HA, get it)? So far we have received the usual feedback from those that have commented and we’re going to hear more points of view and stay in the news which was our aim.”
duh lil timmy thats mommys downstairs beard…
We have hillbilly beards, I suppose hillbilly bush is coming back too.
Personally, I prefer grooming
This reminds me of one of blogtown’s great comment disasters http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/Pr…
@TSW, nice! But you know, why not do this? It’s not as if American Apparel has put out ads featuring half naked under aged models in suggestive positions…….wait, what?
Well trim it up some good Gawd any bigger and you won’t need a mop to do the floors you’ll have three!
