american apparel on flatbush

I saw it open yesterday. Yeah, the marquee looks good. The north side has "welcome to American APparel" or something, and the south side still has some nutty anagram

Does this mean that from now on, the beleaguered denizens of ProHo will have to rent Van Hellsing? Ohno!

In one breath we don't want sweatshops, in the other we call their items too expensive...it costs money to pay people a decent wage, it costs money not to go off shore, but no one is willing to really put their money where their mouth is and pay a little extra for something....we don't want Target but we love a bargain.

Thank you! I totally agree. I work for a company which is struggling to keep onshore development of fabrics and manufacture of apparel, t-shirts specifically. Unfortunately people haven't a clue as to real cost of getting that t-shirt on your back, and how many people are underpaid and exploited in the process. I don't agree with the ad campaign either, but I do believe in fair wages.
