Nothing is as classy as cheap-ass hair extensions. The only comparable thing I can think of is Paris Hilton. So what makes more sense than Paris Hilton hawking cheap-ass hair extensions? Being the savvy businesswoman that she is, Paris seemed to figure this out, and decide to capitalize on it. I imagine the idea happened something like this:
[Paris sitting on a hot-pink settee with a zebra skin rug on the floor] “You know, I’m pretty cheap and tacky. What could I promote that’s also cheap and tacky?” [Paris looks around the room, befuddled.] “Damn it [insert least-favorite Paris Hilton animal’s name here at whim] stop chewing on my hair extensions!” And then it all came to her, in a moment of pure, inspired magic.
Mike Spinozzi, president of Sally Beauty Supply, at a press conference held on Thursday, trumpeted the partnering of Hilton, with her inescapable media profile, and Sally Beauty, which considers itself the world’s largest specialty retailer of professional beauty and hair care products. Spinozzi said, “It’s a powerful combination and we’re excited to work with Paris. She’s business-savvy and very creative.”
Hilton added, “I’ve been wearing hair extensions for years and have tried other products that didn’t work. When I started using DreamCatchers from my line I started using the best quality and styles. I’m always coming up with new ideas because I love coming up with fun hairstyles.”
Available in 10 shades, Clipin-Go by Paris Hilton was designed to be an “affordable yet chic” line of hair extensions. Although the extensions will only be available in an 18-inch length, the company plans to do variations of the look with different colors, lengths and styles.

What they really meant to say was, “We’re trying to sell some cheap hair crap. Paris is cheap, and full of crap. It’s the perfect union.” I’m always surprised that associating Paris Hilton with a product is a good business idea, but apparently it is, because people keep doing it. And every so often, some article will come out showing how much money she’s made just licensing her name and endorsing products. And in that moment, I seethe with envy. Then I remember that I don’t look or act like Paris Hilton. And I feel a lot better.
Paris also sported quite a two-banded diamond ring on the ring finger of her left hand at the event. Paris said that the ring was just a present from boyfriend Benji Madden, and not an engagement ring.
Still, the duo have already discussed marriage. “We want to stay together forever,” she said Thursday. “I wouldn’t do a Vegas [wedding]. I don’t know where or when but I do want it to be romantic.”
Betting that Nicole_Richie and Joel Madden will beat them to the altar, Hilton doesn’t mind following in her best friend’s footsteps another way, as well. “Nicole is our first friend to have a baby … Seeing Harlow, it really makes me want one. I’ve always wanted to have a baby.”
Until then, she’s content on practicing her mommy skills on Harlow. “I’m definitely ‘Aunt Paris.’ ” As for Benji? “He’ll babysit. I can tell he’s gonna be an incredible father.

What an incredibly frightening thought. Paris Hilton procreating. She can’t even keep track of her dogs. I wonder if she understands that you don’t just go to a baby store and pick the cutest one out of the cage like she does with her pets.
Here’s Paris unveiling her new hair extension line in New York yesterday. E! made a comment that she looked “like a glistening statue,” and several sites have wondered about her appearance. All I can say is that it was pretty damn hot and muggy here yesterday. Most of us looked that shiny. And you know I wouldn’t defend Paris Hilton without reason. Images thanks to PR Photos.

Is it just me or is she really greasy looking?
-
She should wear an eye patch. It could be pink and covered in swarovsky crystals. She could add parrots to her menegerie of sad miniature animals. It’ll be all the rage!! Pirate by Paris (that, is of course, what the fragrance will be called).
-
If her hair looks this bad in photos, how bad must those extensions look in person?
-
I think she’s using some sort of shimmery product on her skin that makes her look greasy in these photos. Needs a new makeup artist. Or, hell, she could just be greasy.
Seems like something she would do, ‘Make me look glowy!’ instead she looks like a grease pit.

the distance shots are ok, she looks quite nice in those

Jaybird, I was thinking the same thing: Paris doesn’t even know how to keep pets so how on earth will she deal with babies? I am so not eager to see a Paris Hilton spawn. She’d probably give it the name of the city it was conceived in and braid its hair with her cheap ass extensions as soon as it’s out of her belly. Or the orphanage. I can’t really imagine Paris will go through with a pregnancy once someone has explained to her that she will get fat temporarily. I just had a frightening thought: what if Nicole, Joel, Benji and Paris are the four horsemen of the Apocalypse? It sort of seems to fit, doesn’t it? And I think that if Paris and Benji really should stick together and procreate, their spawn is likely to be an LA, sunglasses wearing, wonky-eyed version of the anti-Christ. *shudder*

“what if Nicole, Joel, Benji and Paris are the four horsemen of the Apocalypse?”
Anna, I swear to god, I laughed out loud.

Cool Jess, that means Paris’ existence did at least some good today!
-
i don´t like to be mean, but if paris gets pregnant, i want her to get as fat as J.Lo.
gonna hang my head in shame now.

Paris needs to have children like a fish needs a bicycle. All that cash and she still can’t fix that f*ckin’ wonky eye of hers.

When Paris came back from Europe, she got a quick peel. Her skin looked radiant. But adding highlighting glow should not be applied all over. A lower grade highlighter would be fine for all over-the-face use. Let’s face it, Paris’ eyes are the same color of the crap you expel every morning. Take a look at her young kid years. Sorry Paris, but you are not one of the lucky ones who were born w/eyes the color of the sea, trees & sky. You can thank your Italian grandad for that.

Hilton still hawks her grandfather’s famous last name, and is still riding on the fame of that sex tape and phony claims of being a heiress to the Hilton Hotel fortune. What a phony she is. Such a social climber and opportunist — she is her mother all the way. Repulsive.
-
gosh how many kilos of make up on her face? make up hanging even on the lips, bbrrr horrible… looks parthetic
-
It looks like one of her eyes droop - she has a lazy eye. Anyone else noticed that??
-
Note to Paris: Go lighter on the make up and the wonky eye wouldn’t stand out so much. Looks like she needs a bath. And what’s up with the glittery orange body spray? The hair looks like that shiney plastic doll hair. She makes the bitch in me come out.
-
What a great article, wow! Everything you said is so true. Just because her name is on it doesn’t make it the bomb. I have hair from http://www.perfectlocks.com, it’s Indian human hair that looks fabulous. I would never buy a product just because somebody endorses it. I need to read reviews and see photos from real people like me. Who needs that Barbie hair crap?!!

Ok, back in February I was at a taping of the Ellen Degeneres show. And I was just soooo lucky, the guest was Horis Hlton, I mean Horseface Hilton, I mean Horsehoof Hilton, I mean Paris Hilton. First things first, I could not get over how HUGE her feet are. Alot has been written about them, but seriously they are HUGE! She was there hawking among other things her hair extensions. She gave some to Ellen who then said “Oh Paris, you know me so well”. I couldn’t have been more than 10 feet from them and they look like Barbie hair. Who are the tards that buy this shit? Seriously, who are they?
