Tired of cute yet? Well, it's not like it's totally devoid of cuteness, but Blood is the New Black has a bit more edge than those deer and birdies floating around the DIY scene...(just what is up with the current craze for forest animals, anyway?). Right now they've got T-shirt designs by 2 artists and have a fab graphic quality--VERY hot. Not to mention the white-haired model is sporting a super cute mod 'do!

Have you heard all the whispering about American Apparel not being as "labor-friendly" as they make themselves out to be, and supposedly busting union-building amongst their workers? Not to mention their new pornographic-esque photo campaign they've been plugging (do we *really* need a wet T-shirt contest? Geez, talk about alienating your fan base...). In light of these completely questionable tactics, rocking my world is the No Sweat website, which promotes sweatshop-free clothing and is out to prove that you *can* pay a living wage and still have affordable clothing. Check out their version of high-tops, which come guilt-free....pass the word on!

ps--if you know more about this American Apparel fiasco, do share with me!

I didn't know about american apparel, but it doesn't surprise me. they've seemed to have taken a more corporate (read: employee-unfriendly) approach to their products for the past year and half. thanks for sharing the info. no sweat is my god.
Kate Bingaman in her "Obsessive Compulsive" website (www.obsessivecompulsive.com) has a bit more info plus links to read articles about the weirdness that American Apparel has become. And my b-friend, who's not really up on such things usually, even heard from someone the story about the owner guy liking to masturbate in front of other people and just sort of act like a total creep. I don't know the whole story so i can't start slandering willy-nilly, but I'm *not* into the stories I hear!
Oops, duh, I mean "obsessive consumption" (www.obsessiveconsumption.com)...bad slip! ;p
