For all you gossip-lovers out there, this will be interesting. You know how everybody and their brother has a clothing line, nowadays. Apparently even gossip bloggers are entitled to one. Read on.
“The (Perez) line, which debuts on June 6, will range in price from $1.75 to $46, and will include products like Gossip Gangster Flip Flops, Perezcious Pink and Purple Lip Gloss and P-Nasty Shades–just to name a few.
The celebrity blogger also plans to sell tote bags, socks and earrings, and says fans will even be able to buy their own Perez Hilton journal, so they can be as nasty as P-Nasty himself.” (source: okmagazine.com)
Well, one thing is being a gossip blogger with color-changing hair, another thing is creating your own clothing line, and thinking it’s going to be a huge success. We’ll see how this goes.
But the prices seem ok - eventhough I never thought Hot Topic and it’s alternative subculture attitude would go hand in hand with the celeb-loving gossip trend.
So, are you ready for some Perez Originals? If so, head on to Hot Topic
and pre-order some.

An Ecoist™ is an individual that lives a modern, eco-minded lifestyle. “Ecoists” have no particular age, race, nationality, nor a particular style.
Handcrafted with endless colors and one-of-a-kind patterns, Ecoist™ handbags are as diverse as the Ecoists who wear them. The only common ground is the Earth.
Ecoist accessories are made from mostly repurposed and sustainable materials and are produced in fair trade, sweatshop-free environments.
Here are some great promotions:
from now until 4/30/2008, get free shipping on all orders of $75 and up using the coupon code “freeship75” during checkout.
And for every bag you buy at Ecoist, they will plant a tree!
Trees are vital to our planet. They help us reduce Global Warming, they clean our air, filter our water systems, provide a habitat for half of the world’s wildlife species, and much more.
Ecoist plants a tree for every handbag sold. By doing so, they want to prove they are serious about preserving the environment and reducing global warming.
Ecoist works with Trees for the Future to plant trees in areas that have been affected by industrial development, natural disasters, fires, and other causes.
Recently, Ecoist has planted trees around the world including India, Uganda, Haiti, Mexico, and the United States.
Known as the Warhol of Japan, Takashi Murakami is a thought-provoking Japanese artist who effortlessly merges fine art with anime and manga cartoons. Murakami’s carreer started back in the ’90s, when he invented an art theory called “Superflat” which mixes high and low art - the essence of Mr.Murakami’s work: he explores the ways in which mass-produced consumerism becomes integral part of art.
The massive “©Murakami” retrospective opens in New York on Saturday, and will include circa 90 of Murakami’s works, spacing from paintings, wallpapers, sculptures, drawings to videos. Many of his famous characters - Mr. DOB, Tongari-kun aka Mr. Pointy, Kaikai and Kiki - will be the main focus of the show.
There will also be a Louis Vuitton shop selling some of Murakami’s creations - back in 2003 Murakami and the luxury brand teamed up to create pop versions of the classic LV monogram handbags.
Paul Schimmel, chief curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles where Murakami’s last exhibit had a huge success, is also supervising the Brooklyn Museum’s retrospective. The show opens on Saturday through July 5 at the Brooklyn Museum, 200 Eastern Parkway, at Prospect Park.
