Carousel: Week Ending 26th November 2010

The Second Most Beautiful Girl in New York about gorgeous transsexuals.

I loved looking at National Geographic’s Photography Contest 2010. Jaw-dropping!

Last Friday night, we settled in to watch The Wild, Wild World of Jayne Mansfield. It is… incredible. She’s all, “I really wish I lived in Roman times, I hear all their parties turned into… orgies!” in that breathless voice. Definitely worth watching. Plus, there are boob contests & secret transvestite clubs in Paris. Watch!

Less light-hearted, Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam is an intriguing look at the world of Heidi Fleiss & her various business contacts. I was very young when she got busted, so never knew much about it. It’s a fascinating story.

Additionally, the ACLU has a form where you can automatically email your senator, Congress & the DHS Secretary. Fill it out here. I did!

Life At American Apparel: The Employees Speak via Julia. Um…

girls have been told to grow out their eyebrows. formal warnings have been handed out for having chipped nail varnish. we have been told not to hire guys to work on shopfloor.
to hire someone we have to take their photo (one close up, one full length) and send it to work@americanapparel.net requesting that they be “approved.” Girls with short hair, fringes, heavy make up will not be approved. guys will only be approved to work in backstock. interviews/experience/talent is not required. this goes for manager and visual merchandiser jobs also.
