If you haven’t seen the new Netflix documentary, White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch, RUN – do not walk. Sprint back to the horrific, dare I say (I do) douchey, days of the late 90’s and early 00’s.
But seriously, watch it. It’s relatively short and it’s a wild ride.
Actual details about the rise and fall of A&F aside, let’s get to the juicy personal stories of a former A&F “model” that worked at the flagship store in the days of Mike Jeffries. Who is that, you may be asking? Dear reader, I regret to inform you that it is indeed I – McKenna.
Sure, it was like living in a f***-boy fever dream; Those long weekend shifts standing on those ~iconic~ stupid, heavy leather flip-flops with less support than a group project and breathing deep the toxic fumes of FIERCE, only faintly hearing the screams of my brain cells dying over the house music blaring (R.I.P).
Tune in for fun stories, such as:
- The unspoken rule of female “models” over a size 2 being barred from working the front room spot
- The most inappropriate French-Tip manicure
- The Girl with the Crunchy Curls
- …And more of your favorite hits!
If you’ve watched, we want to hear from you! Do you think this documentary was an ad? Great timing?

Starbucks Java Chip Frappuccino
Picture it: You’re an awkward, oily-faced, frizzy-haired middle-schooler who still hasn’t lost your “baby fat” — was that too specific? Whatever. Go spend the only $5 your mom gave you at Starbucks and, yes, the chocolate chips are in basically every single one of your teeth at any given moment.
