American Apparel sucks. But every time I express this, some jackass nearby freaks out, almost as if I had insulted Dick's or his mothers crusty vagina.

Or, maybe the employees of AA will be the only people in Seattle without a crippling case of seasonal affective disorder.

Many are the times I've walked past the Pacific Science Center butterfly house on a drab gray winter day and wished I could just build a house in there.

I don't believe in seasons, Judah. They do not exist. While we're on topic, pennies are stupid and she has a quarter. HAAAAA HAAAAA!!1

They only keep the light so bright to scare old people away.

Kind of like the music and 15 year old security guards at the door to Abercrombie and Fitch.

Which AA?
The one on the hill sucks, the one downtown is for bridge and ferry people but the one in the UD is okay,

I always liked how bright American Apparel is at night -- keeps the bums from sleeping right there. At least that's how it worked at the UD one. There was this super bright neon bar that was always, always lit. It made that bus stop feel a little safer in the wee hours of the morning!

@6 - well, you need green insurance too, don't forget that.

But, yeah, the lighting does make that bus stop feel safer ...

hmmmmm....scary stuff....I agree with Adrian and Mr Poe on this. I loathe American Apparel. Shitty, overpriced clothes with raggy stitching and cheap, thin fabric AND the company is sizeist and the owner is a pervert.

Probably to deter shoplifting. They market to a very young, broke crowd.

I worked at Kinko's for a few years when I was younger, I can empathize.

Excuse me Michael @11, but has Oprah taught you nothing? It's "vajayjay". Word.

@14 - many's the night the heat lamps at Dick's made an otherwise leaden gray dark evening in Seattle a lot more fun.

@20 It's Iritis - an inflammation where the inside of the eye packs with white blood cells, you can see where the pupil is dragging against the scar tissue on one side so it isn't round anymore. Typically it is a side effect of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and it has nothing to do with drinking.

And even with all that migraine inducing fluorescent light illuminating all that ill-fitting, ugly clothing in garish colors, people still buy and wear that garbage! WTF!

Their plain black t-shirts have a nice cut, are made of decent material and have good stitching.

That is all.

"Artisan" staple clothing costs a lot!
