"That's not our demographic."

L.A. Trip

So.

I spoke with Iris Alonzo on the phone yesterday. She has graciously offered to fly Shannon and me out to LA to visit American Apparel and get a look at what it’s really like being inside the company.

I agreed, as long as I could write about what I saw. She said that would be fine.

In between phone/radio interviews, class and rehearsals, I’m trying to reflect on what this experience has taught me, and where I go from here. I’m definitely open to suggestions on that last part. :)

More than anything- thanks. Thanks for reading, thanks for commenting, thanks for listening.

    Nancy Upton is the Dallas student who bristled at American Apparel’s plus-sized model search, entered it sarcastically...
