Reality Star, Celebrity, Fashion Designer.
It is obvious in today’s entertainment industry many are famous for just being famous- Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Nicole Richie. You do not have to possess an amazing talent to be a ‘celebrity’ anymore, which has opened the door for people like Heidi Montag to make their mark on the world. I’m sure Heidi is a sweet girl but she is not an actress, she is on a reality show! Why does showcasing her MTV staged life to millions of viewers make her a celebrity? I guess it is the society we live in, and we have single-handedly created.
The real topic of my blog today is her upcoming fashion line, Heidiwood. The name in itself could be a reason for an entire blog post- Heidiwood obviously a play on ‘Hollywood,’ how creative. I know, I know, many are waiting at the edge of their seats to have the opportunity to buy something from her line… Geez, I hope not. Knowledge of her clothing line was released last fall but recently more publicity has been surrounding the line because of the season premier of her reality show and the upcoming launch of her new line.
Lauren Conrad, her archrival on the show, also has her own insanely over-priced clothing line. Conrad’s designs can be purchased at different websites online, and have a completely different look than Montag’s line is expected to have. Best friends turned reality stars, turned fashion designers will now be dueling against each other not over boys or friends but profits in the market place. Interesting.
In another publicity begging turn by Team Montag, she is now holding a contest prior to the launch of her new fashion line. Montag is on the search for nine girls who look like her to help debut the fabulous clothes from Heidiwood next month. So, not only is the name of her line a little self-indulgent but she wants the models to be modeled after her… Really Heidi???
