The Horror! The Horror! Amy Winehouse Fashion Line In The Works!
By Robert Paul Reyes
Troubled singer, Amy Winehouse, has decided to align herself with the UK-based label Fred Perry -- creating her own line of fashion that will be available in Fred Perry boutiques later this year.
When I think of Amy Winehouse, "haute couture" isn't the first word that comes to mind. The crazy crooner may be a gazillionaire, but she looks like a crackhead who has just spent two hours on her knees in a crackhouse searching for a rock of crack.
Most of the images of Winehouse that you can find on the Internet show her sporting ratty ballet shoes, skanky halter tops, ridiculously short skirts, and a generally disheveled appearance.
Who the heck would buy clothes inspired or designed by Amy Winehouse? Prostitutes and crackheads may fancy the Winehouse look, but they can't afford designer wear.
I urge fashionistas everywhere to boycott Fred Perry for bestowing such an honor on such a horrendous role model.
