Ballet Shoes & Bloody Jeans
Amy Winehouse is starting her own clothing line. Yeah, I don't know why either. When Amy dresses up to see her dad, I like that look, but those are not the clothes she is going to try and sell. What Amy is going to sell is "a range of cosmetics and fashion products. There could be hairspray, head scarves, liquid eyeliner, perfume,"
So basically what I am seeing here is that the cosmetics will include mascara and eyeliner sold by the bucket, hairspray sold by the truckload, and perfume smelling like crack. Big sellers I am sure. As much as I post photos of Amy I don't usually notice if she is wearing a head scarf. If she is, then maybe that would be something. All that is left now is "fashion products." When I read that, again I am thinking ballet shoes and bloody jeans. I guess she could sell poor fitting bikinis or bras that last for months without washing. She could start a line of clothes specifically for drug addicts which can last and last despite frequent use and no washing. That would be a big seller and that is something she has experience in. Is she going to sell beehive wigs? We haven't quite reached the bottom of the I'm a celebrity let me sell some clothes barrel, but we are getting close.
It's going to be real fun to see which of all the celebrity products ends up in the dollar store the soonest.
You, too, can have your very own Wino clothing...
ReplyDeleteaquanet could use a boost in sales. i can't remember the last time i bought hairspray.
ReplyDeleteIt's also flame retardant as well for those late nights of nodding out after the last hit of the pipe.
ReplyDeleteI thought branded razor blades, syringes, home AIDS tests and bruise cover-up would be first. Is there anyone on earth who has capitalized more on her own self-destructive tendencies?
ReplyDeleteoooh, i still use hair spray, but then i'm 48 going on 12 and have this weird pokemon thing going on.
ReplyDeletehey, i have to make a statement somehow!
besides, my diabetic cat LOVES the taste of paul mitchell products so i'm incredibly well groomed. so i guess i wouldn't buy wino's products after all.
Man, I haven't used Aquanet since my drawing class in college just to get out of paying more for fixative spray. I think I've still got the half-full can in my closet too, just eating at that ever-growing hole over Antartica or whatever.
ReplyDeleteI suppose in that respect Amy might get some sales from art students. They can use the mascara and eyeliner as makeshift charcoal sticks or ink brushes too, maybe. Yes, market to the art students, I think this might be the way for her to go.
Some blood-stained ballet flats would look fab with my summer outfits!!
