Macy Gray, Celebrity Designer
Manolo says, Nooooooo!
Macy is also experimenting with other channels of expression. The singer has created a fashion line due out in fall.
“It’s called Humps. It’s actually for voluptuous, curvaceous girls, girls with thighs and hips. Especially here in LA, it’s hard to find clothes that do big sizes. We created this line so that these billions of women can have great clothes that fit them and that are still affordable, too.”
The line reflects her multi-hued personality. “It’s real, real colorful and graphic-driven – everyday streetwear, really comfortable, casual great stuff.” So where does she go shopping? “I like H&M! They’re my favorite. I’m not a big designer person. I like simple, classic shit like Calvin Klein and DKNY. I love DKNY. I know there are a lot of new designers, but I’m not really into them.”
And with this news, the final circle of Celebrity Fashion Hell has opened, releasing unspeakable atrocities into the world.
P.S. Thanks to the Manolo’s internet friend the Catwalk Queen.

“Humps”? As in that ridiculous song?
I’m pretty sure this is one of the signs of the apocalypse. And if that’s how women are going to be dressing, I’m glad.

Ah, yes, as a fat chick, I would absolutely want to buy a line of clothing called “Humps.”
Geeze. Were “Bulge” and “Lumpy” already taken?

OK I almost choked on a peanut reading that. Could it be any funnier!

it could be worse actually. She could have taken a name like the Canadian retailer of plus-sized clothing that thinks “Addition-Elle” is great way to market to people who may be a little self conscious of their weight. Might as well be direct and to the point………..”You’re Fat – Get Used to it” by Macy Gray

What’s that she’s wearing in the picture?!

As a plus size woman it has always been my life’s fondest ambition to dress just like Macy Gray. Thankfully my silent prayers have not fallen on deaf ears. Now if I could just get my hair to look like that……………

All I can do quote Manolo from a previous post: “Good Lord – who opened the doors to the asylum?”

Ay, ay, ay….
It is hopeless. The Annalucia looks at something like this, and she can only sigh and turn her eyes to something more civilized, such as this:

and wonder if it is indeed time for her to learn to sew.

Someone needs to fire their entire Marketing department.

My favorite part is that this is for BILLIONS of women! Maybe just a *slight* overstatement?
What would reallu top this all off is that ghastly dress she wore to the MTV awards one year solely for the purpose of hawking her latest album.
You know, the one that had “BUY IT!” stamped on her butt?

If her photo weren’t enough to convince me that this woman has no taste, the fact that she shops at H&M would confirm it. I had my first (and last) H&M experience on Monday when I had to get out of the rain in Boston and I was less than whelmed. Cheap, tacky clothes that don’t fit well.
But then, that appears to be the look she’s going for.

Sarah, you stole it right out of my mouth. Billions of women…6 billion people on earth, only approximately half of which are women…so which “billions” is she speaking of?

Three thoughts about this post, in no particular order:
1. I had no idea that Calvin Klein and DNKY were selling pajama pants and old demin shirts.
2. If that’s what she thinks is a flattering cut and fit for a plus-sized woman, this clothing line may have a bigger problem than the name.
3. Re: “billions”– She is aware that, for most of the world, too much food is not the problem, right?

The idea of her designing for anybody is just a joke to be honest. I went to fashion school and studied for 4 years to learn about design and cut and structure. As if that wasn’t enough, just Google image search her and ask yourself, is that what many women are aiming for style-wise?

My first thought, as an out of touch, middle aged, productive member of society, was, who or what is Macy Gray. My second thought was what half way house did she escape from and is she armed. My third thought was, Calvin Klein and Donna Karan must be thrilled to know that this dimwit considers them to be “classic shit.”

As someone currently in ownership of thighs, hips, and a butt often referred to by friends as ‘bubble-like’ and by construction workers as ‘damn baby lookathat,’ I know the pain of having to purchase pants in the next size up because my butt does not fit. Everything else fits into the pants, but alas, the pair of honeydews surgically implanted at age 13 without my consent giggle to themselves as I sigh and head back out of the dressing room. But though I must do this walk of shame each and every time I go pants-shopping, I would NEVER purchase anything under the clothing name ‘Humps,’ not even if they were made out of magic and the pockets constantly refilled themselves with gold dust. Life is too short to rewrite the English language to mean whatever you want it to. I suppose ‘cankers’ will soon be used to describe breasts. GOOD DAY, MADAME GRAY.

Oh, the poor old mess. She’s got real talent and she’s been wasting it these last few years.
So, if this new deal means she’s given up the smack, I’m all for it!

The more options the better. I don’t imagine this will be a long lived line though.
