American Apparel’s Bankruptcy, you can bet on it!
Things have gone from bad to worse for the pants-optional C.E.O. and his t-shirt company. To put it nicely, it’s highly probable that the retailer will go bankrupt — and soon. Bluntly: American Apparel is probably fucked. Here’s why.
To get a sense of just how fucked, allow me to explain how relative levels of fucked-ness are calculated, in retail. “Same-store” sales or “comparable store” sales are sales figures retailers report from stores open 12 months or longer, and these results are considered a key indicator of retail health for two reasons. Firstly, just measuring a brand’s overall sales without distinguishing between sales at newly opened stores and sales at existing stores camouflages the huge start-up costs incurred by store openings. Secondly, if it’s the case that a retailer has over-saturated its market, if it then persists in opening new stores, those new stores can actually cannibalize sales from its older outlets. Just measuring “sales” is misleading if you had 223 stores in 2009 and 190 in 2008, because 223 stores will move a lot more product than 190 stores, almost no matter what; while overall sales growth is important, you also need to measure how those same 190 stores fared year-on-year.

Ronald McDonOldWhore!
According to Dlisted – It was kind of fitting for that old whore Pamela Anderson to wear a terrifying Ronald McDonald mask since that bathing suit is making her Baycrotch look like a soggy Egg McMuffin stuffed into the shell of an old McApple Pocket Pie. McNOOOOOOO!!!
At Miami Fashion Week yesterday, Pamela Anderson once again crammed her Filet ‘O Fish into her old Baywatch swimsuit to strut, stretch and strut at the show for her fashion line with Richie Rich called AMUSE. Pam, nobody is amused!
Although, it was nice of the Miami Police Department to force Pam to wrap herself in police tape before going out in public. However, the city’s health department really should have stepped in and shut Pam’s establishment DOWN! Pam is violating every health code.
With all that being said, Pammy still looks better than 23-year-old Lindsay Lohan.

Roberto Cavalli and His Russian Model
When you’re one of the few fashion designers who is totally loaded to the fuckin’ tits from your fashion designing and you live the life of fuckin’ luxury who isn’t gay, despite what your bathing suit may imply, you pretty much have access to all the model pussy because they work for you and look up to you like you’re some kind of God and the whole thing gets pretty exciting because the fashion industry is about knee deep in fuckin’ pussy!
