I've got nothing against the girl. She plays dumb better than George W. and she's made a lot of money from it. But to put her name on clothes and shoes and handbags that someone else so obviously designed - while she enjoys all the profits - doesn't sit well with me.
How do I know she has little impact on her designs? I respectfully submit the following proof:
A sizzling platform pump like this wasn't designed by a person who goes out of the house looking like this:
I imagine Miss Sim comes crashing through the factory doors, mini dog in one hand, half-caf latte in the other, takes one look at the designs and says, "M'kay, they're fine. Can I go shopping for the good stuff now?"
And though her shoes, especially, are cute, cute, cute, the second my eyes meet her signature, I wrinkle my nose, put the shoe down and go about my way. It would be wrong for me to contribute to her plaid shirt collection with my hard-earned money.

I am so impressed with your strength! It's so difficult to reject cuteness just because there is stupidity attaached to it -- but if someone doesn't set the example no one will ever learn and Jessica Simpson Co. will continue churning out more and more products until you can't ESCAPE her.
I had the very same reaction to a cute pair of Candie's while the company was running that ad with Jenny McCarthy on the toilet. As much as I wanted the shoes I knew that I couldn't support such bad taste. I also knew that every time I looked at them I would picture Jenny McCarthy on the toilet. (Though that may have been good for weight loss).
I expect to see a lot more plaid coming from this lil lady. She's got a country music career to promote now! I can't see her wearing those hot pumps on stage at the Grand Ol' Opry, though. Maybe she'll make a cowgirl boot version?
