Leola and Peter,
Just thought I'd share this really really problematic fashion spread
that I stumbled upon.
Of course, by "stumbled upon," I really mean that I spend obscene
amounts of money at American Apparel and receive their weekly e-mail.
Their advertising is trashy and sexually exploitative, but I like to
think it's not as bad as the other places I could buy clothes because
it's all at least sweatshop-free. But if they're proud of this sort of
publicity, I don't know. I'll probably have to go around naked since
there's nowhere left to buy clothes that doesn't conflict with my politics.

Scroll to the bottom for viewers' comments--some of them have the right
idea, but others are really worrisome.
Hope you're well. See you in a few weeks!
Emily Joan Smith, Media Studies Major and Fashion Junkie Extraordinaire
