Radar's got a must-read firsthand account of an American Apparel model's experience working with Dov Charney. It begins: "I hate being sticky. I hate being sticky and I am laying on my back on the floor, my naked chest covered in cheap syrupy lube whose original purpose was not this one, because as much as I hate the feeling of liquid silicone accumulating in my belly button, I love Dov Charney more. The notorious T-shirt magnate is hovering over me with his camera, pleading with me to look more into this, more like I want to come." [Radar]
