Lindsay Lohan is selling a slew of fashion cast-offs on her web site, from Marc Jacobs boots to Hello Kitty bags, allowing true super-fans to own a piece of the starlet's closet. Not surprisingly, news of the sale has caused the site to be intermittently unavailable. For those in the fashion set, the wares read like a list of old friends, namely Marc Jacobs.
There are a few prize pieces -- a pair of lace-up Stella McCartney boots for $500 and a Mulberry bag for $650 -- but the most interesting thing is the significant amount of Marc Jacobs swag, including two pairs of the same fur-lined lace-up sueded boot in different colors -- the kind of stockpile one rarely (ahem) actually pays for. It all makes sense, however, when one remembers that LiLo and Marc actually used to hang -- remember when they went to the "AngloMania" Costume Institute Gala together in 2006? And when she went to his Spring 2006 show in New York?
We'll admit the presence of so many MJ cast-offs certainly piqued our curiosity in terms of whether or not Ms. Lohan had paid retail, or at all, for the items in question, and our suspicions were heightened by quite a bit of fluctuation in terms of sizing in the shoe category: one pair of Rudel boots is size 6, while a pair of Marc Jacobs pink zip-up boots are a 9. There's also quite a bit of Hello Kitty merchandise, which is probably a good indication that LiLo has raped and pillaged a Hello Kitty gift suite in her day (which is a shame, becuase she's listed as a fan on hellokittyuniverse.com). (Sidebar: There's also some tragic misspelling of designers names -- "Marc Jacob," "Lauren Muffet" and the like.)
If you're not into Lindsay's wardrobe, take a peek at the site's "collectables," including a $150 box of MyScene goes Hollywood autographed Lindsay dolls, or Cody Lohan's personalized Nikes for $150 (in a size 6).
