What a Week for Winehouse!

A week in the life of Amy Winehouse would never be dull, well….especially not this past week!


Last night the Bee-hived Brit picked up only one award at the NME Awards in London – for Worst Dressed Star. It seems her style isn’t a favorite of the music magazine’s readers.

This comes only a few days after The Sun revealed the singers plans to launch Cosmetics and Fashion lines.

The tabloid said:

“Trampy Amy Winehouse is launching her own brand of clothes and make-up so fans can copy her unique style…The range will include hairspray, but the signature piece is set to be the heavy liquid eyeliner the Rehab singer has made famous.”

The Sun also reported that a friend of the star has been discussing the new range.

“Amy’s style has been copied by girls around the country and there’s a lot of money to be made. It’s a very distinctive look. She wants to bring out a range of cosmetics and fashion products. There could be hairspray, head scarves, liquid eyeliner, perfume. All the things that are distinctive of her look.”

Not everyone is so sure.

Excited Style Life said:

"Signature clothing item? We wouldn't like to say. Oh all right then. Greying wife-beater worn over a brightly coloured bra? Manky piece of leopard print carpet worn as a bandana? Stone washed mini with bare legs and pixies? The possiblities are endless. ..Leave it to the experts. If Primark tells you to wear it, think about it. If Amy tells you to wear it. Don't. You'll look like a turkey."

Harsh? Apparently not...

It was echoed by Blog, Get Fame.

“Yay! Maybe Amy will get some new clothes out of the deal. Who knew drugs were such a fashion statement. Tiny fine point red liner will be part of the makeup line for drawing avant-garde blood scratches for that freshly cracked-out look!...I love it! Good for Amy. I like that people are accepting her just he way she is! She doesn't have to be anything more than a crackhead to get love. That's big!”

But the NME awards wasn’t the only event to draw attention to Winehouse being a bad dresser.
She came second in Richard Blackwell’s 48th Annual Worst Dressed of 2007.

So Feminine were quick to remind us.

"Forgive us, but we're not convinced it would take off...Amy's all-too-well-documented problems with drink and drug abuse have left her looking rather less than fresh of late…The style guru [Richard Blackwell] said of Amy: "Exploding beehives above, tacky polka-dots below, she's part '50s carhop horror."

Blogger Jane Murphy, for Orange’s Celeb page is some what confused by the plans.

“Hmmm... what exactly will the perfume smell like, do you suppose? And why stop with the eyeliner and head scarves? We want wigs! Fake tattoos! Cigarettes! Incarcerated husbands! Oh no - hang on..."

Here is to hoping that the recent award won’t put a spanner in the works for the singers extra-curricular activities.

Regardless…Winehouse is still considered a style icon, even if NME readers disagree.
Colleen Last, MSN’s Celebrity Editor http://msnukentertainment.spaces.live.com/ explains why.

“No matter what the general public thinks, top fashion house Louis Vuitton loves Amy’s style, so much so that its paying her £500,000 to perform a one-off gig at Paris Fashion Week. Lucky Amy flew by private jet to France today.”

The self harmer, who wore a skinny white vest revealing red scratches on her arms, managed to find time to visit her hubby this week.

Blake Fielder-Civil, or maybe more recognisable as “Blake Incarcerated”, pleaded not guilty against his charges of assault and trial-fixing today while Wineo was jet setting and living the showbiz lifestyle.

Maybe this will make her realize what she is missing out on.

Good on her…Lets hope she finds herself a nice young French Fancy to take her mind off bad-boy Blake.

As the saying goes…When the cat is away, the mice will play!
