Admit it, one of the best things about American Apparel is the ads featuring scantily clad hipster chicks in big glasses sporting vacant glares. The Los Angeles-based clothing chain caters to the young and irrational, who are more than willing to pay close to $40 for a mere plain white T-shirt. We love going to AA to pick up socks and catch up on all the lower Westheimer gossip, live and in person. Sure, we could hit up Wal-Mart, but what's the fun in that when we could hear Animal Collective blaring over the cackles of Nylon magazine come to life?
