truth on hold Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) nsfw .... American Apparel has stirred up quite the controversy for decking out its mannequins with very visible patches of untamed pubic hair.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Why do all of these companies all of a sudden feel this need to "start a conversation" about some sort of social issue?

DC Tom Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 And yet, the only conversation it starts is "Why are you stuffing a dead mink down the mannequin's panties?" That display was set up by someone who's never seen a woman's pubic hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dib Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Well then, what about zits, boils, bruises and scars? You want reality, then get real. Sort of like these anti wrinkle creams that are advertised, use wrinkled women not 20 year old models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 So much for landing strips...looks like it's back to the days of the bush pilot. Maybe there'll be less teenage pregnancy with the added ability to "stick the landing," so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
