"Hey Tiffany, I'm a reporter at the Wall Street Journal's LA bureau where I cover teen
 retail companies, including American Apparel. I saw you used to work for
 the company last year. I'm still in the process of getting to know people
 who are at the company and folks who used to. Was wondering if I could ask
 you a few questions at some point, off the record, about your time
 marketing there. Would you be interested? Just let me know. Thanks! And have a
 great weekend-"

In my dreams...I'm already speaking into a mic under someone's pocket protector...
