“I’m really not interested in doing it for my own ego. I’m not a designer. If someone asked me to do something that was beneficial to a cause, then maybe I’d consider it, but not just [to be able to say] ‘Look at me! I’ve got my own line!’ [It’s] gotten so ridiculous. The idea of making my own perfume makes me want to vomit.” 

Well finally, I’ve been waiting for a young female actress to be so sensible. No one wants to smell like you, especially if you’re going to be vomiting in it while approving the scent.

The lead singer of Oasis, Liam Gallagher is gearing up to launch a clothing line. It’s called Pretty Green, comes out in July and is apparently for the 98% of us who are non-skinny. I’d support it but I’ve seen his sartorial stage choices. Not impressed.

Just Another Celeb Designer: Lohan

Lindsay is rumored to soon launch her own line of leggins for Italian brand Fornarina, who will open their flagship store this year in New York City. Not only is she the designer, she is also the face of their expanding international campaign.

I think this is a great representation of how destructive she really is!

A label spokesperson tells WWD they selected Lindsay because she “is that very self-confident, dynamic woman, she’s got a lot of attitude.” And, he adds, “That’s what we’re hoping our customer will aspire to.” And while for now Lindsay’s sticking to modeling for the company’s upcoming ad campaign, she reveals to WWD that although she’d love to design for the label in the future, “Right now, it’s just leggings for me.”

Is this who we want to see as a model?

Personally, I don’t understand what there is to aspire to in Lohan. She is a drunken has-bin actress whose mother is so desperate she is staring in her own reality show about the hardships of being a show mom. Seriously, Lindsay is not dynamic she is confused and not a great role model or spokesperson for any fashion label. I know I’m a hater but this is not the image I want to be portrayed to young girls!
