My Comments

I think this girl is missing the point. When AA launched, they made a huge fuss about how they were against the exploitation of anyone, especially those at the bottom of society. Now while Claire may be a strong, self actualized woman, many of the AA models are young, impressionable, most likely craving attention and not likely able to resist the quick cash (He often uses models working in his actual retail stores, and last time I checked, retail doesn't pay the bills.) It is a simple equation: Man with power uses women without power to get money, notoriety and sexual gratification. If there is even the slightest chance that his practices are exposing these girls to potential exploitation, then AA is going against the very moral standards that they themselves set.
