Sex American Apparel Waves Magic Wand
posted by on June 16 at 12:47 PM
Jezebel informs us that American Apparel has started selling the Hitachi Magic Wand. This is the first time that American Apparel has been linked to masturbation, ever.
(As a side note: I think that this is good news for cities that might not have great sex shops, but Seattleites should continue to buy their Hitachis from Babeland.)
Snark FTW!
"This is the first time that American Apparel has been linked to masturbation, ever."
Not unless you've been spying on me.
OMG I love the Wand. It IS magic. I used it with the attachment on my girlfriend for the first time the other day. Brought her to delicious, sex-craving tears and gave her goose bumps like I've never seen. I fucking love that thing.
fuck american apparel. their ceo is a sexist perv. i have boycotted them.
that thing terrifies me.
@4 Like the man says, buy yours from Babeland instead.
And am I the only one who's curious if/how they'll incorporate this development into their semi-pornographic ad campaign?
Check out American Apparel's poster for LA's pride fest: nsfw! Yes, that was really made by AA.
I love American Apparel.
definitely NOT THE FIRST TIME, American Apparel has been linked to masturbation. Article in Jane Magazine in which CEO masturbated in front of the reporter. Lawsuit of former AA employee charging forced simulated masturbation for CEO...which i think was posted on the slog not too long ago.
And with every one comes a coupon for a free mustache ride from American Apparel's owner, no doubt.
I discovered last week that BrandsMart, which essentially a K-Mart crossed with a Best Buy and then made trashier, sells vibrators. Sure, they're called "massage devices," but they're cylinders that are seven inches long, an inch in diameter, and come with interchangeable bumpy tips.
If you watch as much late-night cable television as I do, you've probably seen the ads for Trojan's vibrator. They're kind of awesome.
Whoa, Nellie! That thing looks like some kind of sex toy or something.
This is NOT the first time American Apparel has been linked to masturbation.
They're skeezy owner/CEO/whatever Dov Charney famously masturbated in front of a Jane magazine reporter who was interviewing him for a feature called "Meet Your New Boss." You can look it up.
Ugh. Okay. Because of my hideous typo above (I meant "their," of course, and not "they're"), I thought I should go ahead and find a reference myself to the masturbating CEO.
I can't find the Jane story itself online, but here's a mention of it:

fuck babeland, shop at a real sex shop which doesn't rip off its customers
@9, @14
SARCASM!
Is the Hitachi made in LA? Why not carry the Wahl? Bastards!
@5: It's not really scary. It is, in fact, wonderful.
American Apparel ROCKS! their ceo is a sexist perv.
PS, by the way, that Hitachi can pinch if you're not careful where it goes and what's done with it. FYI

Obviously you don't hang out on the Ave on a Saturday night. There whole advertising is "Barely Legal" but with clothes on.
I haven't looked in 15 years, but I've seen such vibrators on sale at friggin' Sears. Of course, the box art implies that they're used for the neck muscles of relaxed, pretty white ladies. Yeah.
Jesus christ Dov, in front of a reporter! Not to comfortable in there I'd imagine.
Seriously though, you sick fuck!
You can also get your (amazing, magical, wonderful, works-every-time, god's gift to the clitoris) Hitachi at Wild At Heart, a local, woman-owned and operated sex shop in Ballard (on Leary). Babeland is awesome, but come support your local sex shop!
@16: I'd rather spend extra money at Babeland than buy something cheaper at Castle, only to hear that it broke less than two months later. Plus, Babeland's staff members are WAAAAY cuter.
Buy from Amazon. Like Paul Constant, I won't make a full disclosure statement.
What's really sad is that Babeland has totally sold-out. What I mean is, the staff aren't as helpful and enthusiastic as they used to be, their selection of toys and accesories is smaller (esp in their kink area, come on this is a kinky town!) They've at least brought back some homemade stuff to their window display, but it ain't the happy homegrown sex shop anymore! Hell, the owners don't even live in Seattle any more!
I'm all for supporting Wild at Heart. The lube selection is lacking compared to Babeland, but I really feel like they groove to Seattle culture better. And they're definitely more local.
