This is Mike Jeffries, the man behind A&F. He is 61 years old. If you read the Salon article, you might agree with me that he's even creepier/more insidious than he looks. I avoid A&F like the plague for lots of reasons, but this just takes the cake.

"Dude." Ugh.
The article and this man are both so beyond creepy that I can not ever justify spending my money at A&F - not that that's a problem as I am definitely too fat to wear any of their clothes.
do you suppose he has a portrait in a basement somewhere in his campus that is pristinely beautiful and gracefully young -- or would it be old???
He looks like a cross between Dorian Gray and the sort of guy who has hitchhikers buried in his basement, with a dash of Gary Busey.

Oh, dammit, Babbab, quit readin' mah damn mind.

He's the embodiment of many of the things that make people hate the Baby Boomers.
I hate to be judgemental without reading the whole article, but I just had a really hard time getting past:
and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don't market to anyone other than that.
There are five cool good-looking people in my house who have no interest in his merchandise.
I had two aggravating conversations with someone at Abercrombie after we received the 'magalog'. It was one of the creepiest publications I have ever seen and I was determined to never receive one again...
bb - this is the quote that sent me ballistic, although ask Gina - I was firing off emails to her every few seconds each time I read something else annoying, infuriating, or disgusting.
"As far as Jeffries is concerned, America's unattractive, overweight or otherwise undesirable teens can shop elsewhere. "
Good grief! Eewww!
Maybe he's been hitting the old bong too much. He must if he thinks he looks attractive, dude.
frightening.
