American Apparel Billboards
The New York Times Lens blog has an interesting post on Thomas Alleman, who takes photos of sexy American Apparel billboards found in the urban sprawl of Los Angeles.
"The more he photographs these billboards, the more he wonders if we aren’t most disquieted by the inference that, in a postfeminist world, it still isn’t acceptable for the models to choose to engage in the process. Can they not make their own decisions about sexuality, as descendants of media manipulators like Madonna? He asked, rhetorically, 'Are we a little creeped out by these pictures because these are confident women who are empowered, who seem to be in charge of what’s happening to them?'"
