It kind of filled me with hate today when American Apparel asked me to vote for my favorite letter

From the promo e-mail that just stupid-ified my inbox:

What letter should we print next?

Vote for your pick, and we’ll print it on our classic 2001 T-shirt in classic Helvetica font. Two of our favorites in one timeless package. Hurry, poll closes Sept. 29, 2008 at 12 PM PT.

OMG guys. I guess we BETTER HURRY! I’m definitely going to spend a lot of time this weekend clicking on “S” over & over. I’ve always wanted a shirt with my initial on it, and I’m pretty sure this is the ONLY WAY IT CAN HAPPEN.



Leave me alone with this nonsense. It is about as newsworthy as when you changed your Facebook status from “In A Relationship” to “It’s Complicated.” I remember I appreciated the update on how dysfunctional your sexytime had gotten. I definitely agreed that it was worth reporting in a public space.

In other REAL HUGE NEWS, I’ve decided to grow my hair out. I haven’t decided, though, whether the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal is better suited to break this hard-hitting story. It’s definitely too high-brow for USA Today, I’m pretty sure. Anyways, I promise to keep you all updated via frequent e-mail announcements about the current length in both humid & non-humid conditions, etc., and I’ll make sure to include tons of voting opportunities. Obviously I want you to feel like you’re a part of the process— because I know this is a big deal, and very important to you.
