• The New York Times discusses the increasing rate at which people are shopping under the influence. With the ability to shop from the comfort of your bedroom, or while you’re fiddling around with your phone in a bar, more and more people are drunk shopping, and online retailers are, of course, taking advantage: “Post-bar, inhibitions can be impacted, and that can cause shopping, and hopefully healthy impulse buying.” Anything to boost the economy. Even if you can’t remember after you do it. (NYT)
• Dov Charney, CEO of American Apparel responds to past claims of sexual abuse with former employees in Flaunt magazine, saying these accusations are getting in the way of his genius: “The problem with me is that my personal sexuality, or whatever, has been used against me, and it’s taken away from our ideas. It’s like a great gay guy had fantastic ideas, it’s 1964 and everybody’s like, ‘Geez, geez, he screws guys in the asshole.’ Yeah, he screws guys in the ass…so what? I like to fool around with girls. Get over it.” Maybe stop fooling around with young girls, and then we can get over it. (Fashionista)
