Jordin Sparks's Fashion Line Is All Wet
Yesterday I reported on the high-end American Idol fashion spread in the new issue of Elle magazine. Now it's time to report about the low-end.
Now, I have nothing against mall shops. H&M, Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, Hot Topic, Delia's, even Target...my closet is stocked with garments from all of these chains. I honestly do not believe anyone needs to buy the pricey designer duds in Elle to look fabulous. But the new Jordin Sparks-designed fashion line for Wet Seal--hitting stores in time for the holiday season--is hideous.
Suffice to say if any American Idol contestant wore Jordin's Wet Seal dresses on the show, Simon would tear her a new buttonhole. Blech, blech, blech.
"I am so excited that Wet Seal and I have been able to create a line of clothing that will appeal to more girls than ever before! The holiday season is my favorite time of year, and I can't wait to see girls look cute, feel good and celebrate in style!" Jordin Sparks gushes unconvincingly in a Wet Seal press release.
But Jordin's statement only rings true if by "cute" she means "cheap" (the fabrics look chintzy and downright flammable, even by Wet Seal standards), and by "feel good" she means "wedge one's body into shapes even more uncomfortable and unflattering than Ramiele Malubay's infamous high-waisted shorts."
Additionally, and oddly, many of the garments in the "Sparks" Wet Seal line look kind of slutty, which is odd considering Jordin's own very public vow of chastity. (Remember her "Not everyone wants to be a slut!" outburst at the 2008 VMAs?) None of these outfits would look appropriate accessorized by a purity ring.
Wet Seal exec Ed Thomas disagrees, declaring in the aforementioned press release, "Jordin is a great role model for the young girls that shop Wet Seal. Not only does she have a youthful, yet refined, fashion sense, she has not lost sight of who she is through her rise to stardom." (Sorry, Ed, but I say she's lost sight of what actually is suitable wear out of the house.)

yYu have to remember we, women always shop and might use these kind and style of clothes maybe 2-4 times at most and then buy a new one again.Not a loss considering they have interesting combinations which makes the style more appealing to the less moneyed crowd with love for dresses.
I'm wondering if tommorow they will have blogs on queen and freddie mercury because he (and the rest of queen) had a major influence on music not as big as the beatles obviously but still is major. And tommorow he will have been dead 17 years. He took good music with him "its strange but its true."(I want to break free)
P.S. And to beat you to the gun before anyone else spams me with grammatical errors I meant to say will be for comment 16.
