Yeah. There are pubes. Lots and lots o’ pubes.
Check out the uncensored versions and get the back-story here.
So obviously my knee-jerk reaction to this is “ewwww” and is also a little concerned about these ads in a company that markets largely to a teenage demo. I mean, this girl barely even looks 18.
Does this signal a change in marketing approaches in America? Is American Apparel spearheading a positive tide-change away from traditional American conservatism? Or is this just bad news bears?
I wanna hear your thoughts.

Ever heard of Google? Thatâ??s Sasha Grey, who is a porn star and also has a lead role in Steven Soderberghâ??s new movieâ?¦.
Is sh*t like this even shocking any more?
Once youve seen one messy fur ball youve seen them all.
Its like looking at a dust bunny jerking off in the corner under your bed.
You knwo what i mean? Just hit the bith with a brrom and tell her to “get”! works every time.
BFD!
omg its sasha grey ! i fucking hate this retarted bitch
Retarted? Ever heard of spell check?
the thing is, seven and eight year olds who see this go, ‘yuck.’ so there will inevitably be a backlash on their sales in a few years. HAHA.
Whatever. “America is still afraid of boobs” oh cry me a fucking river. If you want to see boobs, hop on the internet or get a fucking playboy. The rest of us don’t want filth shoved in our faces in the mainstream.
they need to resort to a tacky ad campaign because their clothes are so badly made.
The ad’s appropriate. Garbage advertising for garbage clothes.
The tits ones I don’t so much mind…you can pick up newspapers (in the UK anyway) for under 50p and be faced with girls wearing nothing but a pair of knickers as soon as you open it up, and its not like there is an age restriction.
The American Apparel ad for the socks is COMPLETELY inappropriate. Nobody is going to be looking at the damn socks! It’s shock advertising, and I’m amazed they got away with it. :|
I’m all for more open sexuality in every day America. But TASTEFUL sexuality. Not trashy. Or overly promiscuous. Or ugly unclose-shaven.
Well sorry to say that no one will EVER be able to get away with being tastefully sexual.
coooooooooooooooooter no!
cooter brown is in town! LOL what a nasty mess!
she is not hot.no matter what!!!!
Scientologists shave their space holes.
OK, I can’t write for toffee (hence why people such as Beet are getting paid to blog and I’m NOT), English is not my first language, and I don’t know if this post is a completely fruitless endeavor but here goes anyway…
American Apparel thinks it’s pushing the hipster envelope by recruiting a new brand of feminist to front its latest campaign. Unless you already knew (and there’s no concievable reason why you would… lol I jest) the young lady in question is Sasha Grey; not only one of the youngest pr0n megastars EVER – this girl is only 20 but already has starred in more films than you’ve downloaded mp3′s – but also the posterchild of the new wave of fetishism pron (i.e. acts involving sado-masochism, paedophilia, and eating bodily excretions). Sasha Grey (not her real name) made her first foray into the industry in her mid teens and epitomises the ever growing army of extremely young women who believe that making sh!tloads of money at any expense is worth the pain. And when I say pain, in her case I mean it literally, although I’ll spare you the gory details.
I’m not a prude, and neither am I against pr0n per se or even advertisements using sex appeal to sell their products. Sex sells and I have no aversion to that in itself. What I am averse to, however, is the mainstream promotion of immoral and downright precarious acts (as exemplified by Sasha Grey) as not only ‘empowering’ to females but a justifiable and ‘hip’ career path. Indeed; what was once considered scandalous behaviour is now being touted as a smart way to climb to the top; and given Sasha Grey’s and Kyung Chung’s current earnings, it also appears effective.
No matter how far those in accordance with this campaign will go to rationalize and justify their choice of models (Sasha Grey is not the first pr0n star to front their campaign, although, to date, she is the most extreme)… they may say it’s simply about female empowerment, female sexual liberation, pushing boundaries, young girls “taking ownership of their own exploitation and twisting it around into something like a feminist statement” ( http://www.examiner.com/x-1916-Sex–Relationships-Examiner~y2008m12d30-Sasha-Grey-and-American-Apparel-Selling-socks-the-sexy-way ).. effectively what they are encouraging through their use of such a model is precisely that; money by any means however deplorable or risky.
Since the first home made sex tape hit the market back in the day, ‘leaking’ a sex video has become the career move of choice for anyone wanting to make it big time. Now the express gravy bullet-train to $millions is chugging (or rather, flying like a speeding bullet) to the tune of “I’m f***ing 15 years old muthaf***a and I’ve had gangbangs with the Bloods and the Cripps and MS13 and guys older than my dad and been raped and eaten poop and I f**king love all of it I’m sexually empowered AND I’M MAKING DEM DOLLARZ muthaf***a so f**k you if you wanna judge me you c**t”.
Admittedly I know very little about the inner workings of American Apparel, but from what I’ve read recently their latest campaign is hardly surprising. The fact that they are run by a self proclaimed ‘Jewish Hustler’ who likes to conduct interviews during coitus (actually I think it’s quite novel) and make undue sexual advancements to his female employees, is neither here nor there. However, I mention it only in relation to how some people are claiming that his modus operandi is in itself justification for the ad campaigns. I honest can’t see the link myself but perhaps I’m missing something?
Or perhaps I’m just missing the whole point altogether? I don’t care; I just wanted to air my views regardless whether or not anyone agrees or even cares to read them.
Great post! but please do not say pr0n anymore. It puts a disgusting picture of crawfish and sex in my head.
Sasha Grey, is that you??? …ohh fuck, I can’t believe I actually know this girl’s name…I’m so lame :(
By the way, those ads are incredibly tacky and sort of gross…and I’m definitely not a prude
Someone could seriously get off looking at the womens “Intimate” clothing on their website…
Damn…!
Damn gurl…!
hotttie
I love sasha grey….
HAHA! I think it’s so funny that Sasha Grey thinks she is empowering herself and young women. It doesn’t matter how much she tries to stress the fact that being a slut and a pervert is okay (Rolling Stone interview) IT ISN’T and it NEVER will be. I’m not a prude and I’m all for sexual expression but not when it envolves CHILDREN or Pedo Porn. Sasha Grey is a nasty bitch (That’s probably a compliment in her mind). I don’t want porn in my face everytime I try to live my daily life. If you want porn that’s fine go download it but people (especially not children) shouldn’t be subjected to that when they go out.
This ad is EXTREMELY tacky. They could’ve done something tasteful with a pretty model but they decided to pick an ugly pornstar w/ a beat up p****.
& the movie she was in sucked….she’s f*cking boring.
…what’s so gross about pubic hair? and how come all of you are balking at someone posing like this but saying that her pubes are disgusting at the same time? hm.
Lot More Skeletons in his Closet – 11.20.2009
Sexual harassment is the least of his evils, in short he is mass hypocrite, opportunist, and a exploiter of progressive social trends. His famous “Legalize LA” and “Legalize Gay” t-shirts are a good example. If he truly believes in offering good will to immigrant workers then why,earlier this year, did he fire so many immigrant workers and then say it was due to the pressures of President Obama’s politics. Further more why were his views on Obama’s politics given media limelight but hardly anyone, beyond his workers, know that a few months prior, after he had fired several immigrant workers, that they then protested by burning “Legalize LA” t-shirts outside of his warehouse. The truth is that he is well schooled in whats in as far as social trends. Lets take the free trade hype for instance. Who are the majority of free trade product consumers? Or rather, are free trade products inexpensive? No, they usually are not. So the average consumer is usually well off enough to spend $50 on a shirt that would normally cost her/him $10 or below if it was not free trade. You don’t see American Apparel manufacturing “Make Affordable Housing” t-shirts, even though that would seem to fall in line with the company’s “humanitarian” image. And you know why? Because theres no hip, young, rich sub-culture linked to the people of U.S. society that are losing their homes right now because of the poor economic state that the U.S. is in right now. But gays, for the most part, tend to be in prominent financial positions and Im 90% sure that Dov knows this or his social analyst does. Its all a ruse and if anyone questions it he can always flip the mirror and tell people that their heartless because they want to put a damper on the humanitarian efforts of free trade industry. I guess the best way to capitalize is get two majors in college: one in business and the other in ethnic sociology.
they turn girls into sluts
I cannot for the life of me figure out why you people think that Sasha Grey being happy with her sexuality is appaling, or wrong in any way whatsoever. The girl likes to have non-vanilla sex and is open about that fact. Most of the people in this world are not comfortable enough with themselves to allow them this thrill, and that is the sad, appaling part of the story. You say “Hey I’m no prude, but shes a slut and she is bad for America and bad for Women”, when in fact stating that you “are not a prude” almost undeniably asserts this to be a fact. I am in a loving and amazing relationship with someone who is intelligent and empowered and sexy. We are both quite successful, and not to give too much detail, I work for a MAJOR non-profit in the DC area and feel pretty damn good about the work I do. We have what you would call “degrading, disgusting” intercourse and foreplay, sometimes involving risqué fantasies, and I could not imagine going back to having the plain old terrible sex that most of you have on a daily basis. So wake up everyone, sometimes sex is just sex, and not a reason to get your tired, jobless, self loathing ass all riled up about something. Sasha Grey probably makes more than everyone on this comment chain combined, DOING SOMETHING SHE LOVES. That sounds like the American Dream to me.
You probably don’t have kids, and doesn’t care if kids exist and roam this world.
And I doubt Sasha’s daily grind is as lovely as you say – she sure has money, so what?
There are other things in life than money and sexual satisfaction. “Like what?”, you may ask. Well, just don’t rub that p***y on my face when I’m shopping or surfing the web, and we’re both fine.
I can see how this ad and it’s message is shocking, vulgar, artistic, disgusting, inappropriate, sexy, ridiculous, rebellious, and boring for some.
Sasha Grey is not your average porn star, nor is she my cup of tea. Sexually she turns my stomach. I’m not quite sure if she’s really enjoying the sex she has in her films or is just amused by the ridiculousness of it all. It has also crossed my mind that she may be a dirty, stinking, perverted old man trapped in a young girls body.
Either way I neither love or hate her, but I do think she’s fascinating and that AA’s marketing is brilliant for getting so many people to continue buying there $hitty clothes.
Sasha Grey is 22. So the ad is not pedophilia. I don’t understand the outrage at seeing a picture of a beautiful young woman naked.
She, while enjoying non-vanilla sex, has publicly she does not do kids or scat. While some might feel this is a fine distinction I can’t feel that anything else she chooses to do is her own choice and if one doesn’t like watching it, then don’t. I, for one, admire her and the few other women in porn who are hot because they are enjoying their work. More power to her and Belladonna, for that matter.
It’s also very funny to me the disgust over pubes, go look at the classic groundbreaking porn movies of the 70′s! Behind the green door, devil and miss jones.
Personally, I like this ad. As a 19 year old female it’s encouraging to see another girl around my age that is pale, regular size breasts and has body hair (which is completely normal) be glamourised by the media. I’m tired of all these overly tan anorexic girls with huge tits being made into the icon of sex appeal.
I totally agree with Tanya. I’m an 18 year old chick and Sasha is totally awesome. I have had internet conversations with her (I was even lucky enough for her to think im sexy) and she is so nice. I love that Sasha embraces her sexuality and her body. All the power and respect to her for breaking the molds and giving confidence to girls on the fair and slim, small chested side.
…and as for the pubic hair….c’mon guys, grow up. its a fact of life, girls have pubes too….and i’d munch hers any day!
