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.

apparatchik

A person who is a cog in the wheel of a large, powerful organization, whether that organization is a government or a government-favored corporation.

"The choice between the American and Canadian healthcare models is simply a choice between different two different flavours of statism – each with somewhat different vices, it’s true (e.g., do you prefer higher prices or longer waits?), but ultimately coming down to a matter of the percentage to which control of your healthcare is exercised by people sitting in government offices as opposed to being exercised by people sitting in governmentally-privileged 'private' offices – but in either case by ambitious, avaricious apparatchiks who aren’t you."

sense appeal

Finding someone appealing through their sense, either by basic senses or sense of wisdom.

You've got the kind of sense appeal that I'm interested in.

unisexually appealing

A person whose personality and/or features attract both men and women, regardless of sexual orientation. Often in a class of their own.

Bro: "See that girl over there? Damn I want her."
Gay Chick: "One night is all it would take..."
Chick: "I'd go gay for her."

Everybody wants her. She's unisexually appealing.

Appel Farm

The coolest place ever. A creative and performing arts camp where the theater freaks outnumber regular people by about 8 to 1, and so does the drama. It's actually kind of a cult. People doing the Time Warp on patio tables, singing the Stop Making Babies song, and making out behind NEW COOP (blegh blegh blegh) is rampant. It's the only place in the world where someone whose name is or is not the most common name of second session 2005 can go through six girlfriends in one summer.

I've got your Appel inside me forever. I've got my Appel, you've got your Appel, we've got our Appel Farm.
