Ever read Eugendes' Middlesex?

Three years ago. Were there scantily clad Asian tweeners in that book? I don't remember.

Seriously, I thought that book was lovely. But there is nothing lovely about the upchuck-inducing Dov Charney (http://www.inc.com/magazine/20050901/american-apparel.html).

speaking of dov charney, there's a huge NYTimes magazine feature on him this week:

The ownership was news to me, and I'm a politics reporter. Honestly, I think the most damage you guys could do is to spread the word -- if it's a question of your integrity, by all means boycott, but if you want the guy to feel it then bad PR is the way to go.

Also, I simply will not believe the pegged jeans trend is back until I see it with mine own eyes. It's just too ugly. Why???

put it this way, I'll now think twice about shopping there, but if I boycotted every company whose owner had bad politics I'd probably have no where to shop. the only real boycott I've ever done is of walmart (b/c of their policy on emergency contraception)
