What Is Victoria's Secret? Hmm, It Might Be Juicy...


Juicy Couture, of Liz Claiborne Inc., has filed a lawsuit against Victoria's Secret, of Limited Brands Inc. for allegedly being copy-cats in their marketing tactics.

"Pink has applied slogans across the seat of pants which famously originated with Juicy Couture and identifies its brand,'' the company said in the complaint. "Pink stores incorporate many elements of Juicy Couture's stores including oriental rugs and Victorian-style furniture.''

Also mentioned in the complaint is the packaging used by Victoria's Secret that resembles that of Juicy Couture: shaped like lollipops, bonbons and ice-cream cones.

Juicy Couture is seeking money damages and profit from the alleged copying, as well as a court order barring Victoria's Secret from using the candy packaging.

Looks like the Secret is exposed. I knew it would be Juicy!~

You be the judge! Below are images from both lines. Copy-cat or coincidence?

Stella McCartney Designs "Single Leg" Pendant To Snub Heather Mills


VS

Stella McCartney has always been one designer you can count on to make a fashion statement. This time, the statement she is making is about more than beautiful clothes.

As we all know, Stella is the 36 year old daughter of Sir Paul McCartney, who is going through a publicly bitter divorce with Heather Mills, his second wife (Stella's mother Linda was married to Paul for 29 years before she passed away in 1998). Stella was never supportive of the marriage to Mills, and when they wed in 2002, she refused to design her wedding dress.

Now that the divorce has been so very public, with Mills supposedly turning down a $50 million divorce settlement, Stella has struck her own kind of blow to Mills. She has unveiled a $500 silver pendant of a single leg in Paris to fashion industry insiders last month. Mills has had her left leg amputated below the knee after being hit by a motorcycle in 1993. Coincidence? Please.

"A lot of people thought it was really edgy while others secretly thought it was out of order. It's such an obvious dig. It will cause a stir when it goes on sale," the Mirror quoted a source, as saying.

This is obviously a not-so-subtle retaliation to the statements Mills has been making, not only about Paul, but about Stella as well. In a live interview last week, for example, Mills said of Stella "I cant protect her any longer. She wasn't interested in her dad's happiness... every week she tried to break up my marriage to Paul. She's done some evil, evil things. She scraped my face out of a photo when they were in a psychiatric session together."

I don't think it's fair to use what goes on in a therapy session with her father against her publicly in the media. However, I also don't know how I feel about mocking Mills amputated leg. What do YOU think about it? Take our poll and be heard!

Couldnt have thought up anything better myself. Nothing is too harsh for that GOLD DIGGING witch. I know I speak for many when I say I hope she falls off the face of the earth after Paul gets custody of Bea.
