Paris Hilton Traffics In "Affordable Yet Chic" Hair Extention Business



At the risk of giving Paris Hilton our attention -- and we've been studious about withholding that -- this story from, of all places, the respectable WWD seems almost like an April Fool's story if .. if it wasn't May. The Hilton name, once Averted Gaze), suffers yet another social setback thanks to thar impudent heirhead Paris. From WWD:

"When it comes to hair extensions, Jessica Simpson might have to make room for some friendly competition as Paris Hilton gets into the business by teaming up with Sally Beauty Supply.

"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.'"


These products which, laughably, are described as "affordable yet chic," are available in 10 shades -- Charmed, I'm sure -- and different lengths going by the name: Clipin-Go by Paris Hilton. Ironically, "Clipin-Go" is also the staccato and jocular term that Paris employs to describe her moist, nocturnal activities on the Los Angeles social circuit.

Charned, I'm sure.
