We're living in a material world...

It seems celebrities are no longer content with their contribution to the music scene, the silver screen or the playing field. It appears having a face widely recognised for pioneering massive sunglasses or diamond encrusted teeth, makes you an authority on environmental issues, your right to vote and the War in Iraq.

A celebrity putting their two cents in on social concerns is not the only business they want to stick their $15,000 nose into. You would think having young girls modeling their fashion sense on the latest picture of you in Who Weekly would be enough for most high profile stars. They also want their face and name on absolutely everything that you can purchase for a small fortune. Well I suppose, we are living in a material world and… well, you know the rest.

Hillary Duff has a range of children clothing, Sarah Jessica Parker has perfumes and Jeniffer Lopez has taken it up a notch and even branded wildlife with fur items featuring in her fashion line. (Which we don’t endorse - faux fur all the way.) You can pretty much cover yourself head to toe with celebrity branded clothes and accessories and become a walking trademark on par with the Beckhams. Victoria pulls off the short hair style so well don’t you think?

Now, your bathrooms, living rooms and bedrooms can enjoy a bit of super star status. The pop star most widely recognised for her bottom rather than her musical assets is now introducing a new line of home wares.



Yep, spinning around in short shorts just doesn’t seem to cut it anymore for Kylie. To date, Australia’s biggest pop export has developed an underwear line and beach ware clothing range that is available in lingerie shops and department stores. And now, Kylie has been negotiating a home furnishings line through the British Department stores Debenhams and John Lewis. An article in The Age on the 23rd of July briefly explains that Kylie is in the process of designing bed linen, towels and curtains with friend and stylist – William Baker. The new home ware products aim to be available in stores next year.

We knew it wouldn’t be long until everyone caught on to the benefits of top notch bed and bathroom accessories. Let’s hope Kylie takes a leaf out of the Bear & Duck book of linen etiquette and indulges in some Egyptian cotton.
