Do any of you work at American Apparel? A female tipster and AA employee wrote into Jezebel claiming that Dov Charney sent company employee’s a newsletter telling them how to groom their eyebrows. See below.
I have to admit, this made me lol.
Here is what the employee wrote to Jezebel: “As an American Apparel employee I am appalled at being told how I have to groom my eyebrows. I am also appalled that this rule seems only for women. I love the idea of ‘made in USA,’ but i do not love the idea of being told how to wear my eyebrows by a disgusting creep.”
Okay, yes, duh. Dov Charney is a disgusting creep, but girlfriend, you knew this when you started working there! And I don’t think Dov is going to come into each American Apparel and start firing girls for the state of their eyebrows. I agree, though, it’s creepy and weird to be told how to groom the hair on your face. Thoughts?
i bet she’s growing out her brows right now.
THAT IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS! I would shave my eyebrows off just to piss hm off :)
nah i wouldn’t really there groomed to perfection and I love them to bits :)
OMG I’m in love with my eyebrows :L
Aisha, it’s ridiculous. Agreed. It would be funny if all the women who worked there shaved off their brows! But… I could never do that. I love mine too. :)
Jamie: aw. Well, I like slightly fuller brows anyway, so I guess I agree with Dov. ha. If I ran a company I would ttl have rules like that. I would SO make all the guys who worked for me shave the back of their necks, like, daily. I hate when it gets all hairy and gross. yes, mainly leaving this comment for my bf.
That isn’t the only thing that they mandate. I didn’t get hired at AA because I have short hair.
SH, really? Cause I have a friend who was a manager at an AA in Chicago and she had short hair… Unless the rules have changed?
Actually, he has an army of models traveling around firing people for not looking just right. For serious.
Anon: :)
Lmao, that’s pretty horrible. I mean, I totally agree with the newsletter, thick eyebrows = sexy but where’s the newsletter for men? Why are just the women employees objectified?
yep, it’s well documented dov is a creep. and takes advantage of his female employees. (when he can). and, you know, jerks off in front of journalists. http://www.claudineko.com/storiesamericanapparel.html
