In a Newsday article, she says her target audience is tweens and teens. Really Paris!? Because when I was a teen, I totally could have seen through your shit. It's all about the dollar you THINK you can make. I can hardly imagine if you actually scrapped, that you would want to purchase a ton of crap with someone else's face and initials written all over it. I used to think you weren't as dumb as you pretend to be. Now you're making me wonder.
The article also says..
"In the craft market we see a lot of demand for tweens and teens," said Genevieve Lecompte, Wooky's vice president of sales and marketing, "but there’s not much to offer."
WHAT?!?! Have you not SEEN Rusty Pickle and BAM POP and Sass Lass, and if we're talking PINK and BLING... can you say GLITZ and HEIDI SWAPP!?!? Whatever. Do your freaking research before you talk out loud.
I don't know WHAT her rep is smoking but the article also says
"She's a great icon for teens and young adults," Lecompte said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times."
HELLO!?!? A WOMAN who has had her PORN all over the net, has been known to flash her cootch at cameras, and walks around looking and sounding like a drugged out spoiled brat snob is a good "icon" for teens? Well obviously you THINK so... or you wouldn't have smeared her FACE all over the product.
Yeah, Paris. You're right. That's HOT.
Just in case you didn't get the sarcasm... I am totally
NOT
buying your crap.
What is really funny is that everyone at cha rolled their eyes at the thought of paris hilton and her line but as soon as it was time for her signing, people RAN to it. They could not resist her!
ReplyDeleteWe looked at it early before the crowds got there. It was cute for 10 year olds. It's more like jewelry kits, not really scrapping. The scrappy stuff was just swirly glittery glam paper. Apparently she is a scrapper because she had her scrapbooks with her ;)
"...has been known to flash her cootch at cameras..." I almost fell off of my chair laughing so hard when I read that. Best line ever blogged!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. Any tween to teenage girl with more than 2 braincells to rub together are going to look at this and think it's a huge joke. I can't wait to show my 13 year old daughter this. I guarantee she will turn herself inside out ranting about how stupid Paris Hilton really is.
Aaah, I love you.
ReplyDeletePS~My firefox took a crap so I'm back to using Internet Explorer. Any ideas how to fix it? Google search? lol
lmao
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she scraps THAT...? lol ten year olds and paris hilton should NOT be said in the same sentence. Maybe that's one good thing about the CPSIA... she won't be able to market it for kids under 12...
AMEN SISTER!
ReplyDeleteDitto!
ReplyDeleteI won't buy her stuff, nor do I buy MS stuff either!
Don't be shy now, what do your REALLY think about the new Paris Hilton line?
ReplyDeletei will be rick rolled before i buy anything with her name on it...
ReplyDeletejust sayin'
Just what the market needs, Paris Hilton!!! I totally agree with you!!! Please say it ain't sooooo!
ReplyDeleteWhat the Hell? I wouldn't buy her line of anything...much less scrapbooking! Oh, and I agree...there is plenty out there that teens love in the scrapbooking industry. And a good role model-did the people writing this article actually know anything about her???
ReplyDeletenot much to offer for teens? seriously. research people.
ReplyDeletemay i suggest ac's teen line? duh. lol
I am scared that anyone can just put a name on merchandise, call it art, and society buys the name. I mean....Simple Life for Simple Minds..Like your honesty Rachel..
ReplyDeleteSmiles,
Sonia;)
Rachel..I just wish you were not so shy and that you could share your feeling more openly...LOL...I LOVE what you had to say and could not have said it better myself.. She is the LAST person I want any of my children or grandchildren to immolate..yes even a pre teen can see through her greed...She needs a serious reality check. She actually makes me sad...sad that she can be so obviously YUK and yet has a following of millions of people..Proof that Money Can Not Buy Class!
