I’m sure somewhere within the Queen Beaches Oscar Blog, and every other live Oscars blog out there, is this statement- Who the Heck does Kimora Lee Simmons think she is showing up at the Oscars, yappety yapp yappin away about other people‘s clothes, looking like a Real (not) OC Housewife? Believe it or not, it gets even worse. Here’s the skinny if you’re not up to speed: former model (tapped by Chanel? A muse? Furreal?), the ‘only multi-ethnic woman to have a successful fashion empire’, creative director of the Baby Phat line (does anybody else cringe when you see actual baby Baby Phat clothes at Macy’s? There’s something so wrong there), America’s Next Top Model judge, author of Fabulosity: What It Is and How To Get It (Note: fabulosity does not stand up to a Scrabble challenge), and she was married to the Def Jam main man, Russell Simmons who started the label Phat Farm from which the Baby Phat line sprang which basically Kimora got in the divorce. Anyway, she really drove me crazy during the Oscars and, after doing some research, it looks like she drives a lot of people crazy with her phasionista schtick. So naturally I was doubly aghast, appalled and offended when my daughter and I rounded a corner in the Times Square Toys R Us- 'Where a kid can be a kid!'- and ran smack into this: take a good long look at photo. (In fact, double click for a larger image for an even better shock and awe experience. Marvel at the incredibly cheesy Hiltonesque details. Yep, those ARE fish nets.) Apparently I missed the 2007 launch of the Kimora Lee Simmons Gold Label/Digger Barbie and it’s a good thing, too. Because the last thing I want my daughter playing with is this train wreck of a hooker action figure. That’s just a huge tranny mess. I heard the ex-Guv bought five.
