A Hot Tranny Mess = Victoria's Secret ?


"WWD reports that Project Runway winner Christian Siriano has created a line of cosmetics for Victoria's Secret Beauty." ("a hot tranny mess" was one of his signature phrases used on the show, along with "ferouch/fierce" etc. No insult to the T-girl community is intended by F.P.L.T.)

Now I was happy when he won Project Runway and I think Christian is very talented...but he better stay out of my area of expertise if he knows what's good for him. Beyotch!

"Siriano was chosen to do a limited edition collection because; he’s really establishing a close following, and we think he resonates with our consumer." Oh sure he goes on a fashion competition reality television show and now he is a cosmetics expert?

"Due out in August, Victoria’s Secret Beauty is overhauling its Very Sexy color cosmetics assortment and kicking that effort off with the first cosmetics project by “Project Runway” winner Christian Siriano. The line will feature shades inspired by his Fall clothing collection. The lineup will include five shades of eye shadow ($14 each); three lip gloss shades ($14 each); black eyeliner ($12); a bronzer-highlighter trio ($24); a face brush ($32); and a ruffled cosmetics bag ($16). The items will be packaged in gold compacts with the Christian Siriano for VS Makeup logo engraved on top."

Just because I've been in the industry over 30 years, and was a consultant on Victoria's Secret's very first color line back in 1996 when they thought about getting into the beauty business....doesn't mean I'm bitter or anything. Really.

No really, the line looks beautiful and I wish Christian every success. Honest, I mean it.
I really do. Stop laughing! Stop it!
