At this point it must be very hard to be Lindsay Lohan. It seems people just want her to fail.
I think the problem with the show was more in the styling than in the clothes themselves. There are actually some really nice pieces in the collection but they get lost b/c they are paired with a tube top or silly heart pasty thing.
Looking back at the pics from this morning, I think the biggest problem with the collection is that it lacks coherence. Its hard to see how the white jumpsuit from pic #2, the hearts and stripes dress from pic #10 and the blue pants & tube top from pic #23 are even part of the same collection.
Overall, even if Ungaro wanted a celebrity to bring more youthful attention to the brand, I'm not sure Lindsay was the best choice. I don't really see her personal style really meshing with the POV of Ungaro.
@erinna: I think that's true. The collection was VERY Lohan, which is what Ungaro wanted. I don't think she can really be blamed for delivering exactly what was asked/expected of her.
@hortense: @erinna: maybe Lindsay should be like Kelly Bensimon and not put her name on anything.
Also, I feel like this is one of those instances where someone asks you to lend a hand with a project and then you get thrown under the bus for the entire thing.
@erinna: Your last paragraph. If you want to expand the demographic related to your aesthetic, you have to look at the aesthetic first, not just ... choose somebody who a) ordinarly embodies its complete opposite but b) just happens to look good in yours.
Amen on the Moleskines, they're my best new treat of 2008. In 2008, I discovered/remembered how much I love to draw, and my moleskine became a permanent fixture and I started posting all of my doodles on flickr, also a fab discovery, it's like a fantastic pen and ink artist colony online.
But my most wonderful discovery of 2008 is discovering that I am preggers!
I discovered Jezebel late late 2008! I hardly ever comment (to be honest, I'm a bit intimidated - but in a good way - by the wit and intelligence of other Jezebel commenters), but I do lurk a lot. I love this site! Happy New Year everyone!
I got an electric corkscrew for Christmas last year, and it looks like a lightsaber. I love it so, so much. It enables more drinking when you're not together enough to work a manual one.
@TalbotSmith: I'm afraid I'm finally revealing too much about myself here, but... I agree. These are awesome, and I get kind of freaked out if I can't find them on the shelf (plain white only) at first glance.
@Madge: I usually drain nearly all the liquid, just leave a tiny bit to help melt the peanut butter. Add a glob of pb and keep splashing in the soy and mixing it all around until it tastes good :).
@Your Screenplay Sucks: Oh and that Egyptian cream several of you ladies recommended & swore allegiance too - I mocked, but that stuff really does work.
@Your Screenplay Sucks: I love Etsy! Most of the art on our walls came from there including (my absolute fave) an Edie Ciao Manhattan b&w oil painting.
