American Apparel, Hot Topic

September 3rd, 2008

To quote ANTM’s Yaya, that is some “fake kente” cheapness.

OK, so I checked out my favorite spot for basics over Labor Day weekend and guess what I saw … African print dresses. Pretty cool, right? Well, maybe.

American Apparel

My beef, American Apparel has not used a single Black model to help advertise the new print, despite the fact that it’s all over their Web site in tube dresses, bras, headbands and yes, more leggings.

Is it bad that the company doesn’t use any Black models to sell these African inspired items? Or would it be worse and “called racism” had they used a Black model?

American Apparel

Indeed, I don’t really really mind because hopefully African designs will become more mainstream. But c’mon AA, a Black face would be nice.

American Apparel

What’s your opinion? Do you even like?

Fashionwise, I want to wear more African prints, but I want some authentic ish, not a knock-off from some European designer who thinks of it as a fad.

Feel me?

Kadi.

This print does not look african. It resembles more of the “Coogi” designed clothing.

Hi everyone! http://www.demya.com/images/smile.gif

My name is Matthttp://verifiedfile.com/images/seo.gif After lurking for a while I finally decided to sign up. I’ve been a gamer for most of my life, and I’m looking forward to my new “home” and getting to know all of you.

Anyway, I’m wondering if any of you have any experience with any of those Wii Downloads sites? I’ve found a pretty cool site that has lots of reviews and info about Wii Downloads. Have any of you guys heard of it? It seems pretty cool to me and I’m wondering if any of you have an opinion.

So, do any of you have any experience with those Wii downloads sites? I found a neat website with lots of reviews and info about

Sup Everyone,

I just subscribed to this forum and I wanted to see if anyone here is interested in shoes like Air Jordans, Nikes, or any athletic sneaker. http://www.bayareakicks.com/images/air-jordan-shoe-smile.gif

I know I am new here, but I just wanted to ask your opinion. Do you think Nike.com or Air-Jordans.com is the best website to get Air Jordans Release Date info?

I have heard different opinions, but I would just like to hear yours. Personally I like the Air Jordan website BAYAREAKICKS.COM. Please let me know what you think.

I appreciate your time!

Hi! http://www.verifiedfile.com/images/smile.gif

I’m thrilled to be a part of this community and I thought that

I’d start off by sharing something that happened to me recently.

I won $3,000 playing blackjack at an online casino and I only deposited $100!

A friend of mine recommended that I try the Club USA Casino.

I registered a new account as a U.S. player, made a deposit with my credit card, and I received a 100% match deposit bonus on my initial deposit of only $100.

What’s amazing about this casino is that when I cashed out my winnings, they paid me instantly. It was automatically deposited into my e-wallet account!

I’m just so excited that I won some money at an online casino.. and I can’t believe that they paid me instantly, just like at a casino in Las Vegas.

Has anyone else played there? .. I’d love to hear from other players.

Have you ever wanted to trade the forex markets for regular monthly profits? You can if you harm your-self with the right knowledge. I have been doing it for over 12 months now.

Forget expensive courses that simply go over the free stuff in another way. And forget trading robots. They do not work. My simple 15 minute bar scalping system does work.

Go here to read about it. Scalp Forex Markets

Give it a go. You can trade a demo account for a while and get a feel for it.
