Brand Damage

The post title is, ironically, very close to both "brain damage" and "Russell Brand." Coincidence? You make the call. Well, it's finally come to this - no one wants Lindsay Lohan's skanky ass at Fashion Week. Linds, who once commanded thousands of dollars just to show up and sit in the front row, has now been asked to stay away from the high-profile events. Many designers feel that any association with Lohan could damage their brands, as well as subsequent sales. It's probably true - unless you've designed a dress made of whiskey and cocaine, in which case LaLinds would be a top choice for promotion (if you could wrest such a magical creation away from her mouth and nose).
