ohnotheydidnt: How much would you pay for celebs to be front row seaters in your fashion show?

Ridiculous, but not surprising. Funny how Lohan was paid top $$ four years ago and now no one wants her coke infested body near the shows.

It is all a waste of money.

Hell, I'll sit my ass in some front-row seat and sneer at your fashions for less than that. I could make a living doing this shit.

Jennifer Lopez (circa 2005: $80,000; circa 2010: $30,000)

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

And they wonder why fashion houses are always going broke, now we know why..they pay the celeb to come to their show and then give them the stuff for free even though the celeb makes enough or has enough to buy the whole line without breaking a sweat...
