Hilton Creates Frenzy With Clothing Line
August 16, 2007
Los Angeles (AP) — Police and city workers were called in to handle the crowd and a lane of traffic was closed as Paris Hilton unveiled her clothing line Thursday at a trendy boutique.
The heiress, author, singer, perfume designer and reality-TV star unveiled the line at Kitson, a boutique known for its celebrity clientele. The lane was closed for pedestrians’ safety, a city spokesman said.
Clad in a gold sequin mini-dress, Hilton, 26, emerged from a black SUV to a throng of fans who spilled into the street. Inside the store, Hilton was all smiles.
“It’s a dream come true to have my own clothing line,” she said. “It’s just Paris style: fun, bright and flashy.” Read the whole story here.

Canadian Activist Attempts Resurrection of the Rhino Party
From Wikipedia: The Parti Rhinocéros, commonly known as the Rhinoceros Party in English, was a registered political party in Canada from the 1960s to the 1990s. Operating within the Canadian tradition of political satire, the Rhinoceros Party’s basic credo, their so-called primal promise, was “a promise to keep none of our promises.” They then promised outlandishly impossible schemes designed to amuse and entertain the voting public.
Now there is an attempt to resurrect the party. For more information visit Rhinoceros Party of Canada Web site.
