her affiliation with paris always makes me question her

cause how can you be friends with THAT

I blame it on knowing each other since they were little kids.

Uhm... this sounds like prejudice. It doesn't matter who you are friend with but what you are like as a single person...

I don't think that because of the fact that Nicole used to be friend with Paris she deserves to be questionated on her working skills.

Can't stand the bitch. I hate it when they refer to her as a "star." She's done nothing to deserve her fame. Nothing!

On the other hand, a person's friends and the company they keep say a lot about that person sometimes.

^^Maybe, but I have some friends that other friends consider dodgy but for whatever reason they're in my life, either because they're old friends and while one or the other of us have changed, we have a shared history or maybe they just fulfill some side of me that doesn't get an airing very often.

Yeah! Like me!!! I'm a fashion designer (student)...and hearing about all these bitches developing lines left, right and center just pisses me off to no end.

Picking colors and shapes (then getting someone else to do the sketching and making of samples) does not make Nicole (or the others) a designer!

I've heard Gwen actually sews her own samples...so I'll give her a break, though I don't completely believe that either.

^^I don't buy it either. I think she makes her little mascots do the sewing.

Yes, this is true and I agree. It's just that I like to judje people with my own mind and (not always) believe what people say... I won't let the others have all the fun

This is the reason why I think some of these celebs lines are wrong ! Because, in the end, they're only selling their names and letting other people do the whole job !

^^I know,eh!

It's sick.

And it makes is even harder for normal people who are designers to break into the business.

It's already so competetive, but now there is this whole celebrity brand name boom. Urghh! I hate it!

Good luck, Bijoux!! I wish you all the success in the world. When you make it, please don't forget all of us at GR.

I'm also tired of these fucktard celebs coming out with clothing lines, jewelry, perfume, shoes, etc. It's not like they have anything to do with it, they're just marketing something in order to make more money. The market is so saturated with this right now, that something has to give. It's sort of insulting to the public, because it's basically giving the impression that they don't think we have an independent thought in our heads, and we'll just go out like sheep and buy something because of some dumb celebrity. I also feel bad for the people who are really designing these clothes, because they're receiving zero credit for it. Screw that!! I hope the pendulum starts swinging the other way, and people stop buying Paris' shitty perfume, or Mk and Ashley Olsens' crap.

I didn't question her working skills, just her in general.
But it does seem they don't hang out as much as they used to.
Paris just seems to such the life out of everyone she keeps company with. So that is wonderful if Nicole is staying far far away from that racist, vacuous bitch!
