american apparel

An American Based clothing manufacturer that is unfortunately popular with the modern hipster community.

American Apparel t-shirts are noticeable better quality and fit than $4 Wal*Mart shirts in addition to producing excellent screen printing results. They are under fire from people that have never felt how soft and light an American Apparel shirt is and people that do not know how a t-shirt should properly fit. Their t-shirts are worth the price you pay; frugal individuals can find AA t-shirts for under $10.
American Apparel shirts are soft and light, not cheap and rough like Wal*Mart, Hanes or Gildan t-shirts shirts.

aspartame arse

The BIG square fat bloated arse that dieting women have. Caused by the chemical sweetener in their diet croak drink that they are totally addicted to.

The methanol content of aspartame converts to formic acid and formaldehyde once inside their body, the formaldehyde then attaches to fat cells making it impossible for the body to burn off that fat. Result is the fat stays, the body gets fatter, it all ends up around the arse.
Bloke one: "Hey, have you seen the size of you're wifes back end?"
Bloke two "Yup, can't really miss that aspartame arse, she's on a diet".

American Apparel

A cool/hip clothing store, often serving hipsters in cities, that sells overpriced t-shirts, leggings, and metallic colored leotards.

The ad's feature scantily clad women generally found on the street just before the photo shoot. The founder of the company has been a known perv who has been reported for sexual harassment many times.
"OMG! Like i totally went to American Apparel the other day, and they didn't have that green jumpsuit I wanted!"

"Dude i can tell those turquoise tights are definitely from American Apparel!"

American Apparel

While it is a designated hipster locale with ads that resemble a Terry Richardson shoot, the clothing produced by American Apparel truly is of incredible quality, created by highly economical means (as opposed to the majority of the other popular labels out these days), with far more sturdy pieces than what you often find at other hip hot spots such as Urban Outfitters. They also do not cater soley to smaller sizes, offering sizes as high as 3x, unlike most other popular stores shooting for the teen to mid/late twenties demographic. Recently, they've also begun a "newsstand" section, wherein they hold various underground literature and art magazines, offering the contributors to these publications international exposure for their work where they otherwise wouldn't be getting it (as American Apparel is one of the only remotely mainstream stores of more than one location carrying these publications currently).

In this case, the old adage, "You get what you pay for," rings true. Sure, it may cost a bit more to buy an article of clothing from American Apparel than from Wal*Mart and the like, but if you honestly cannot admit that American Apparel's clothing is of a far superior quality than those you would find at such other establishments, you're just flat out kidding yourself.
If American Apparel has to appeal to the hipster populus to get kids to buy clothes that weren't made in a sweatshop in Chile for once, that's okay with me.
