General Motors is one-upping us by setting up the world's largest rooftop array of
solar panels in Spain. Over 20 percent of our
energy comes from the solar panels on our factory roof, but GM's latest move looks to be
even more impressive. Let's hope this is some kind of trend that catches on with other
companies soon.

I could give this post a cheesy title like "Simply Devine," but I'll refrain. Last night, the incomparable Kevin Devine played a solo acoustic show at the Roxy in Hollywood as part of his tour with the equally-amazing, Jesse Lacey. The adorable Brooklyn ginger boy also sported the Fine Jersey Stripe Short Sleeve V-Neck during his entire set. Let's raise an ignited lighter and play "Afterparty" to honor Kevin's good sense of style.

Hey, Daily Mail, you call this the most
hideous outfit ever? Puh-leeze. Shiny silver, enormous jugs, and skin-tight leggings - throw in
a spaceship control room and it's every 14-year-old Trekkie's dream. But, you know, if you hate America's youth, that's fine too. Photos: Daily Mail

In other celebrity baby news this picture was snagged by TMZ. That's right a rare siting of J.D. Salinger's baby "Axl Salinger" repping the American
Apparel Nylon Spandex micromesh T. Soooo cute!!!

American Apparel's appeal is expanding... and even 'Dreamgirls' can't get enough of it. Academy-Award winning Jennifer Hudson is looking good; sporting the RSA8348 (Cotton Spandex Sleeveless Nightlife Dress) on the cover of her new album cover.

...and by pieces I mean children. Celeb spotter blog Faded Youth has Reese Witherspoon treating the kids to a day out at London's Tate Modern art gallery. All very interesting, but not nearly as interesting as the fact that eldest daughter Ava is stylishly sporting AA's Polka-Dot Fleece Zip Hoody.

| What?? It's a funny
song! And the singer
Kara Luiz is wearing
American Apparel -
The navy tank dress?
That teal dress? The
grey tank top? All
AA! Kara, along with her
partner Deena Adar,
former Internet
Radio sex-advice
show hosts, make
funny videos which
you can see at KaraLuiz.com
and at OrenFilm.com.
Their frequent
collaborator Oren
Kaplan is working
for a "major movie
studio" on some
secret web video
project. And you know what
else? It's not just
a song. Your dog
really isn't
cute. Seriously. Not
cute at all.

I gave this guy one of my special edition, handmade tie-dyed VIVA-Radio t-shirts when he
was lurking around the AA Williamsburg Store during one of our VIVA-Radio in-store events
at which a popular VIVA contributor will DJ live at the store. Since then, I've seen
him all over NYC, particularly in the Williamsburg area, usually on his bike. I'm also
getting constant text updates from friends whenever they see him! He's everywhere, including the Internet! This guy's better than a walking billboard because walking billboards don't wear mini-
skirts or short-shorts and lift up their promo t-shirts to flash strangers the women's
bra they're wearing underneath! No joke, it takes all kinds i guess.

Hate Mail of the Day.

This one is so unquestionably awesome, I hate to even call it a hate mail. It warmed
the dead little corners of my heart: I really wish American Apparel would offer their clothing in tall sizes. Not
everyone is going for the emaciated/heroin-chic look and would thus appreciate a
shirt that doesn't expose their belly button - especially being a guy. Why is it a 6'5"
guy can't comfortably wear your clothing, but an Oompa Loompa can? Does
American Apparel discriminate against tall people? Maybe I should vote for Obama
so he can bring Clothing Justice to the all-too-often-ignored and disenfranchised tall
people. It should be criminal that American Apparel is making obscene windfall
profits and is constantly expanding and using more resources by exploiting the hard
earned dollars of the small-in-stature while completely ignoring the existence of tall
folks and making us feel like second class, un-chic citizens! Bring us tall sizes or
prepare for nationalization! Clothing Justice for All!

Two things we love at American Apparel: sex and copyright free ideas. The following is an email we received recently from a concerned imagineer in Rhode Island. ---
So, having admitted that you are all about sex (with the savvy addition of a vibrator), I have a brilliant idea for you: sell condoms! Exciting ones! Condoms in gold wrappers! Condoms in limited addition American Apparel colors (you have such nice colors). Matching condoms with every pair of leggings! Free condoms on the counter! Oh, American Apparel, I know you prefer models that look like they have syphilis, or at least chlamydia, and cool, great, whatever. But at least then provide me with the proper equipment when I can't control myself. Condoms are slutty and skintight, which is just your thing! Think of the publicity! It is brilliant. Sell condoms. You want to use this idea, go ahead, steal it from me, great. I approve. Sincerely,
J. ---- Well, what do you think guys and gals? Should we do it? (get it, "do it") Should we make condoms? If so would you trust them to work? What color would you like? What flavor would you like? What scent would you like? Retro? Neon? Ribbed? You make the call. Let us know. Maybe we'll screenprint your face on one. Email us at creativejobs@americanapparel.net with the subject header CONDOMS.

I found these language lesson downloads on a website called Petrol Exotic. These lessons teach you how to cuss and a bunch pick up lines in French, Italian, Spanish, and Mandarin. There is also really cool download for a 20 min Che Guevarra history lesson.
