See the NSFW full version after the cut. Also, this one is on the latest issue of Purple.

Via Debauchette, The Reverse Cowgirl (click that link to see the ad with pubes), and Refinery 29.

Offended? I can't say I can muster any extraordinary protest. Sex and youth selling clothes is ubiquitous, AA is just not bothering to "beat around the bush" if you'll excuse the pun.

I really hate the glasses the kids are wearing these days. That girl that gives out the free camels at bars wears those and she's like 35.

That's not full nude, now is it. Also, if you've ever been to their dot com, they've been pulling these shenanigans for a while now.

C'mon merc, do you have to be so sensationalist? Maybe hit the readers with some background instead of clicking around 8 different places to find out that they are pornstars and the ads are on sex-related web sites.

I'd hate to have to clean out Dov Charney's office after seeing that ad!

I'm unsurprised. Have you met the dude who runs the place? I don't want to say anything bad about Dov, but only because I think he might molest me if I do.
