Michael Jackson Is Doing A Fashion Line? Insert Glove Joke Here

Sadie Stein — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 11:30:00 EDT

Wacko Jacko is teaming up with Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier to launch a new line this fall.

Remember life before Sephora? When lipstick was lipstick and foundation didn't need to be "primed"? Well, ever since the the Berlin Wall fell, Pakistan developed nukes and "cosmeceuticals" joined the Oxford English Dictionary (okay, not really, but!) the world of beauty has been much more complicated and perilous to navigate.
