Summer PJ sets – Paris says: “That’s hot!”

Imagine our surprise when we opened this week’s edition of New Weekly and discovered Hollywood’s favourite incredibly-shrinking celebutante, Nicole Richie, strutting around the set of The Simple Life in one half of a Vilain Boutique Summer PJ set! While we wouldn’t exactly put her at the top of our VB ambassador wish-list, she’s a serial best-dressed-list topper and she does have a knack for jumping on trends before they crash and burn in the mainstream (read: massive vintage sunnies and leggings under shorts – sooo 2006).

A quick scan of our database failed to reveal any members – on either side of the Pacific Ocean – exhibiting her details. Unlike her Simple Life co-star Paris Hilton, Richie has never graced our shores, so we’re scratching our collective head wondering how she got her bony little hands on our hot green running shorts (as you know, we only offer free postage and handling to customers within Australia).

We can only conclude that Richie’s new BFF, the equally-incredibly-shrinking ex-Popstar Sophie Monk passed them onto her. The Queenland-raised “singer/actress” is now based in Hollywood and is engaged to pop punk “rocker” (we use these terms rather loosely) Benji Madden, and his brother and Good Charlotte bandmate Joel is dating – you guessed it – Miss Richie.

But wait – here’s the best bit – all four of these AAA-list celebs are expected in Sydney next month to co-host the MTV Australia Video Music Awards! How sweet would it be if Nic and Soph hit Bondi Beach in matching VB shorts?!

While any publicity is good publicity, quite frankly, we’d prefer our shorts to be photographed on celebs with more generous proportions, or at least people who our customers wouldn’t want to throw headfirst into a Sizzlers all-you-can-eat buffet. After a quick conference in the Vilain office, we decided we’ll be sending off some Summer PJ sets to Scarlett Johansson, Libby Lenton and Chloe Sevigny. Watch this space…
