Canada! YOU can buy Ashlee Simpson-Wentz's stuff!




Pop star Ashlee Simpson is coming to Mississauga next week to promote a line of back-to-school fashions.

Simpson will be making an in-store appearance at the Zellers store at Square One on Saturday Aug. 23 for the relaunch of the Request clothing line.

Simpson stars in a current TV advertisement for the line of clothes, which features a series of still photos of her shopping for clothes before a concert.

Simpson was chosen for the advertising due of her "hip" persona which reflects the brand’s personality, said Geoff Hardwicke, Zellers director of marketing.

“Request is a good piece of business for us and it (the relaunch) allowed us to take the Request brand and pump it up a bit,” Hardwicke told Marketing Magazine recently.

Simpson, whose older sister Jessica is also a singer and actor, is featured on all of the print advertising for the Request line and is making some personal appearances for the promotion.

The 24-year-old Ashlee's first album, Autobiography, debuted at number 1 in the U.S. in July 2004.

Simpson occasionally appeared on Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, a reality show about the married life of Jessica and her then-husband Nick Lachey. She subsequently was featured on her own MTV reality show entitled The Ashlee Simpson Show.

Simpson and her sister were tied for third as "worst-dressed celebrities" on celebrity-fashion critic Mr. Blackwell's list in 2004. Blackwell commented of the pair tha,t "from gaudy to grim to downright frenetic these two prove that bad taste is positively genetic."

Simpson and her husband, Pete Wentz, are expecting their first child.

Gord Downie wants to know when he's gonna get his goddamn Zellers line!
[info]grammaire 19th-Aug-2008 07:29 am (UTC)
I'd be much more inclined to visit Zellers if the Tragically Hip had their own line.

[info]_starbelly_ 19th-Aug-2008 01:32 pm (UTC)
Will that be on your hbc credit card for double points. I'm glad I finally made it out of there.
[info]hipsandhearts__ 19th-Aug-2008 10:04 pm (UTC)

[info]lepetitegemme 19th-Aug-2008 07:18 am (UTC)
what is zellers?
[info]gonerilandregan 19th-Aug-2008 07:20 am (UTC)
Zellers Inc. is Canada's second-largest chain of mass merchandise department stores, with 282 locations in communities across Canada.[1] Zellers is headquartered in the Toronto suburb of Brampton, Ontario, and is a subsidiary of Hudson's Bay Company ("Hbc").

In recent years, Zellers has been moving slowly away from the discount department store model, and has introduced better quality merchandise and different customer service concepts. New and remodelled Zellers stores are often compared to that of Target Corporation in the United States[citation needed].

[info]lepetitegemme 19th-Aug-2008 09:26 am (UTC)
lol @ the target comparison. from the sounds of it, target wouldn't be caught dead promoting an ashlee simpson line.
[info]marmar627 19th-Aug-2008 11:02 pm (UTC)
As an American, when I went there I always kind of viewed it as a KMart-Target hybrid...then again now they probably wouldn't like that, "Canada's Target" would do fine for them.
[info]jmclive 19th-Aug-2008 07:20 am (UTC)
just... just terrible
[info]imthelonely_one 19th-Aug-2008 07:22 am (UTC)
imagine wal mart but more white trash
[info]darlingdivine 19th-Aug-2008 08:47 am (UTC)
Retail hell.
[info]missklutz16 19th-Aug-2008 12:21 pm (UTC)
it's like the dirtiest department store ever. you can find shit there you were pretty sure they stopped selling in 1997. it's fabulous.
[info]milkradio 19th-Aug-2008 03:52 pm (UTC)
Zellers = crap store kinda like KMart or WalMart or whatever. It's gross.
[info]avoryxo 19th-Aug-2008 07:18 am (UTC)

[info]gonerilandregan 19th-Aug-2008 07:21 am (UTC)

thanks =)
[info]myprettycabinet lol19th-Aug-2008 11:33 am (UTC)
Haha, my tabs for opening that article look like this:



And it looks like the article says "Ashlee Simpson admits she batshit crazy."
[info]marisela 19th-Aug-2008 07:56 am (UTC)
is there something about the way she looks when she is pregnant that made you ask that?
[info]sophie_ann 19th-Aug-2008 08:15 am (UTC)
no, she's from texas!
[info]gonerilandregan 19th-Aug-2008 07:19 am (UTC)
Some people say that Zellers is the Canadian equivalent of Target, but it's really not-- at least from the stores I've visited. I really wish we had Target here. Wah.
[info]imthelonely_one 19th-Aug-2008 07:22 am (UTC)
what? who the fuck says that.. zellers is like wal mart with less class
[info]generationxwing 19th-Aug-2008 08:02 am (UTC)
Word. The only reason I go to Zellers is if it's too cold to walk the extra two blocks to Walmart.
[info]grammaire 19th-Aug-2008 07:23 am (UTC)
I'd say K-Mart is a closer equivalent than Target. Lord do I wish we had Targets.
[info]guitarscreams 19th-Aug-2008 08:03 am (UTC)
LOLOL

target is holt renfrew compared to zellers.

fucking love target... it needs to be here :(
[info]honeypants 19th-Aug-2008 08:13 am (UTC)
Zellers is like the welfare version of WalMart
[info]sophie_ann 19th-Aug-2008 08:18 am (UTC)
lol zellers. i love how there are zellers stores in malls.
[info]darlingdivine 19th-Aug-2008 08:48 am (UTC)
Target >>>>>>>> Zellers. Damn you HBC.
[info]hobo__camp 19th-Aug-2008 10:02 am (UTC)
i work at target ;)
[info]xoxgoodbye 19th-Aug-2008 02:38 pm (UTC)
Yeah, everytime people say that I want to smack them. Does Zellers have collaborations with designers? No, it's like the Canadian version (and much crappy) version of Wal Mart.
[info]milkradio 19th-Aug-2008 03:53 pm (UTC)
I wish we had a Target up here! Target has some pretty neat stuff tbh... Zellers is and always has been crap.
[info]marmar627 19th-Aug-2008 11:04 pm (UTC)
It seems like they WANT to be Canada's Target but I see them as "KMart TRYING to be Target, the Canadian edition", if that makes sense.
[info]melodyjae 19th-Aug-2008 07:19 am (UTC)
KILL IT WITH FIREEE.
Ugh.
[info]anny817 OT19th-Aug-2008 07:20 am (UTC)

I really hope I get pregnancy boobs (one day)
[info]harmlessbondage 19th-Aug-2008 03:40 pm (UTC)
oh no no no you don't! you know they likely won't stay like that, and you'll probably just end up with saggy deflated boobies that are stretchmarked to holy hell :(

also in before every LJ mommy claims this isn't the case. STFU, YOU GOT LUCKY.
[info]myairguitar 19th-Aug-2008 07:21 am (UTC)

[info]stardollfacex 19th-Aug-2008 07:22 am (UTC)

That being said, she looks great in her blue maxi dress. :)
