Intuition, ground zero for self-indulgent celebrity clothing lines is now carrying Lindsay Lohan’s line of leggings(say that three times fast… better yet, never speak of it again). As usual, Lindsay tries to throw her idol-worship of Marilyn Monroe into the mix, dubbing the brand 6126 (Marylin’s birthdate). How Marilyn Monroe has anything to do with overpriced leggings, especially 80’s zippered leggings, which “create a tough, rocker chick image,” or eyeball-incinerating glitter stirrup leggings which are “so, so Studio 54 circa 1978!” is beyond me, but she’s still listed as the inspiration for the collection. In addition to leggings, the collection also features leopard print ”ankle gloves“ just in case only PART of your leg is cold (or you just need to cover up an unsightly court-ordered ankle bracelet).
While I’m glad that Lindsay’s focusing her energy on a positive enterprise and not on driving her car into things or snorting coke, come on. I mean, who designs a line of LEGGINGS for their debut collection?! I’m also really getting sick of the Marilyn thing from her, but that’s more of a personal gripe, I guess. I love, love, love Marilyn, too, but it’s kind of embarrassing when you’re past your mid-teens and your fandom hasn’t gracefully transformed from frothing-at-the-mouth obsession into simple admiration. Maybe it’s just me.
