I’m desperate for a job as well and went to apply there foolishly believing that they were a company all about “creativity” (Even on the ad on this website they claim to be “creative”). The manager there was a total, cold, evil bitch, flat-out demolishing the outfit I was wearing, describing my outfit as “too loud” and telling me my shoes were “too I don’t know…” She then told me to come back next week with a “real American Apparel outfit” for a photo. Thanks for crushing my spirit, you emotionless monster!
They simply leech on young, pretty boys and girls. And I refuse to be a part of it.
I understand why you like them, but they seem so snobby, prescribing youth culture in their own elitist way. You seem like such a sweetie and I thought your boy from NY story and American Apparel story were similar in like…the theme was putting up with rejection. I feel like putting up with rejection is good and bad; there is a difference between being brave and just being a glutton for punishment, sometimes I confuse them. I will say, if you really, really want to work there, just keep trying, but look for another job as well, don’t exhaust yourself on American Apparel.
As for love, I feel there is always, always risk…but to avoid being a glutton for punishment, I decided not to get involved with this guy who was going to spend a year in Japan…haha, good choice for me. Long distance relationships in reality are probably a bad thing; it is seriously making the decision to be in a relationship that will most likely be temporary. The idea is romantic, but I honestly believe love doesn’t last when a person makes too many decisions based on romantic notions, because I don’t think love is purely a pretty, romantic thing (which might seem odd.) I understand the hurt of heartbreak…but I feel it’s better to be in relationships than none at all…you just get closer to figuring out what you want in a person. The only real tragedy is not learning anything from it.
Also, I feel perhaps your question isn’t totally fair. I mean yes it didn’t work out with you and him, which hurts…but, you couldn’t really define what you had in the first place, perhaps he felt the same way…so what do you have? Perhaps that’s a factor in your relationship’s fizzle.
Prom isn’t that big of a deal. Go solo with a bunch of girlfriends, or even if you skip it – it isn’t that big of a deal. I didn’t have that much fun at my prom either, HONEST.
dude, i’m going to prom with a buncha girlfriends because all of the boys at my school have the maturity of a five year old and the intelligence of a gorilla. i’m gonna look dayum fine, strut my stuff, and have a good time! go! because i’m sure you’ll regret it if you don’t. but remember its whatever you make of it. if youre totally grumpy the entire night of course it’ll be a horrible experience! don’t let what other people say or think ruin or influence your night. just have fun and do your thing! i promise it’ll turn out great that way
from what i remember, having a date is not really a big deal once you get to prom; it is only a big deal for pictures. people don’t really stick with their dates once they get to prom (unless their date is their bf or gf), so i don’t think it’s worth it to ask someone you barely know. just go by yourself and chill with your friends! pictures may feel awkward but that’s ok.
oh, and i totally agree with elizabeth. prom is whatever you make of it. i think it has the potential to be really great, and you should at least check it out
I LOVE American apparel clothes but the people who work there are total douche-lords! They couldn’t be any more into themselves if they tried. Don’t waste you time and go get a job somewhere with actual cool people like a cute bookstore or vintage clothing store.
And ditch your prom and have a cool party with your friends instead. In 5 years you’ll want to kick yourself senseless for what you wore anyway!
Oh my goodness prom girl please keep the sanity that you are portraying in the video. Prom is NOT a big deal. It’s absolutely nothing. They just say it’s a big deal but the truth is it has nothing on the memorable moments of your life like your birth/wedding/death whatever. The important moments of your life are totally dependent on how your life pans out – for example, after high school I travelled across Europe and met a guy who was far-removed royalty, and a bunch of us attended a party at his mansion…that was an important event I will always treasure, and your life will have the same individual unique moments. Prom is only “the biggest deal ever” to the people who peaked in high school, took is sooo seriously and who’s lives will now go downhill. That’s not you! So go, have fun, do NOT spend a million dollars on a dress and shoes, do not starve yourself, do not pin all hopes and dreams on the one absolute non-event of the year – just have an okay time and enjoy it and appreciate it for what it is…then move on !X
Prom girl:
I went to prom with a really good friend of mine, in fact, most of my friends just went with their friends. It actually turned out to be lame and unfortunately my parents still have my prom picture up in our living room (so embarassing now looking back on it). It was cool hanging out with my friends there, but we could have done that anywhere, and it wouldn’t have cost us so much damn money.
There ended up being some drama between random people, and the most fun we had was AFTER prom, hanging out with everyone wearing normal clothing.
Essentially, go if you want to hang out with your friends and don’t worry about the dude you’re going with (or not going with). He’s only really there for the pictures
American Apparel Guy: I was very close to getting a job down here in texas at American Apparel but mainly because a friend of the family is the manager there. I got an interview, my outfit was great. There was an open spot, then they tell me if this transfer comes in from ohio then im shit out of luck & thats exactly what happen! But I do wonder if they were lying!
Prom Girl: Ummmm i went to two proms one with my boyfriend at the time, i went to his & it was cool, he went to florida when my prom came around so I had to get someone else. All this highschool drama kicked in with y prom date & his ex girls friend talking about I stole her man & all of this was planned, it was a mess…. by the end of my prom night, my best friends boyfriend was supposably beating on her & i got upset cuz she wans’t answering the phone & my prom ended in tears. It was awful & i dont think prom is what it used to be back in the day 8( it really is over rated!
prom girl:
not a big deal if you don’t have a date. i wish i hadn’t brought one to mine. we were friends, but not that close and he didn’t really know anyone from my school so it was weird and awkward and i felt like i had to babysit him all night rather than just enjoy my prom.
Ohh that guy is so cute! I love American Apparel tees, but the pretentious salespeople are almost just not worth it sometimes. It’s like, OK, I get it, you’re a skinny wannabe model and I like ice cream a little too much and it shows. Whatever. So no, I’m never one to discourage someone from chasing a goal or dream, but perhaps there’s a better one out there for him?
And prom is wayyy overrated. I think it’s something you should experience, but keep the expectations low. Whoa, I’m having a major flashback that involves Goldschlager, a cornrow hairdo and a sparkly dress from Cache! Noooo.
american apparel boy: you seem far too sweet to work there! i have a couple of friends that work at different locations and they complain about their coworkers and managers ALL the time! i have one friend who is a gorgeous girl with the most amazing taste and tons of qualifications, and the recruiter from my city straight up told her they couldn’t hire her because the manager of one location had a personal problem with her. isn’t that nuts? i saw start looking for other jobs!! good luck!
Two pretty great topics in one week. I think falling in love is always a good idea- even though it can hurt. We always learn something about ourselves and the other person. Though- I would say try not to let yourself fall too hard for someone who is giving signals that they might not be leaning in the same direction as you. Sometimes you can’t tell- people might be giving great, mutual signals but end up changing their minds or something happens- but- oftentimes people are telling us everything we need to know without have to actually say it.
Prom. Is fun. But that’s the point. To have fun. Don’t let anyone tell you how to view yourself or your life. Please enjoy the dance, your friends, your date (optional and if you find someone to enjoy yourself with but if not that’s okay.) and yourself, and the rest can jump off a cliff.
I went to an all-girls high school, so I know alllll about having to ask random dudes to dances. Senior year I was randomly set up with some hottie from Germany, but when it came down to it – he totally stood me up! I couldn’t really be offended as we’d never even met, but I must say – it’d didn’t really even affect my night. I still had fun, though I wouldn’t recommend getting set up on a blind date for prom. It is what you make of it – so have fun getting ready and dancing with your friends! And just ask whoever would be the most fun dancing with!
Fuck American Apparel.

Hey Prom girlie:
I went to an all-girls high school, so I know alllll about having to ask random dudes to dances. Senior year I was randomly set up with some hottie from Germany, but when it came down to it – he totally stood me up! I couldn’t really be offended as we’d never even met, but I must say – it’d didn’t really even affect my night. I still had fun, though I wouldn’t recommend getting set up on a blind date for prom. It is what you make of it – so have fun getting ready and dancing with your friends! And just ask whoever would be the most fun dancing with!
