a sneak peek inside the store.

At long last, the creepy empty storefront on the corner of 45^th and the Ave in the U-District will be used for something other than a makeshift bus stop, street musician rain shelter, and platform for the neighborhood to advertise its vitality. While some may have considered the window posters promoting the U-District an improvement over the Pier One Imports that once occupied the space, there’s a new tenant in town.

That’s right — no more going out of town or to the website for us. Seattle finally gets it’s own brick-and-mortar American Apparel ^[2] location for all of our plain well-fitting sweatshop-free clothing needs. According to a sign tacked on the front door [jpeg ^[3]], the shop opens tomorrow (30 March) and they’re still hiring for all positions. Applicants should be aware that the store founder Dov Charney is more than a little unconventional [jewlicious ^[4]] with respect to interviews and office behavior; so “all positions” might have more than a single entendre.

Still. Why hold funny mustaches and chronic masturbation against the clothes? As far as I’m concerned, the size medium T-shirts are just about perfect.
