Halloween, the American Apparel Way

I always find American Apparel's overtly provocative ads a little on the vulgar side. Before today, I would have doubted the creativity of AA's marketing team - taking the commonplace approach of "sex sells." But today I visited the website and found American Apparel's A Hollywood Halloween. Talk about brilliant marketing. The company has come up with a number of costumes using their clothing (and a few additional accessories) to create a number of ironically cool Hollywood-inspired outfits. Hipsters all across America will love this.

Ahhhh yes, but what can they offer for Lady Godiva fans?

I guess "overtly provocative" has its own fan base, Andrew.

the scooby doo ones are so accurate.

It would be so exhausting to be Edie and have to hop around in that pose all night ;-)
Oddly, I like Cabaret the best, yet I was quite offended recently when someone told me I looked like Liza!
