Who Doesn’t Have $200 to Spend on a Headband???

mischabarton

This is not a Christmas joke. Mischa Barton designed a line of headbands for Stacy Lapidus, and they’re retailing for $90-$200. WHAT PLANET ARE THESE PEOPLE LIVING ON?

Anyway, you may have heard of this little snowstorm thing we’re having up here in Seattle. It’s kind of a little nutty around here right now. We’re not really a snowstorm city. The airport’s closed down for the day. They ran out of de-icer. I may or may not be able to get on my flight out tomorrow. My fucking truck’s still in the shop but might be done this evening, and now I have to take my neighbor to the hospital after this shit happened yesterday. Apparently she can’t walk anymore.

The moral?

Not gonna be a whole lot of posting this afternoon, kids.

  • Seriously? Do these people even know how to WEAR a headband? How do you spend $200 on a headband and then not even use it to keep your hair back?? It just looks stupid now.

    • What the hell? Who says you HAVE to use it to hold your hair back? I sure don’t. They’re there to LOOK NICE. Like most accessories. It would look ugly if she pulled her hair back with it.

      Anyway, pricing. Ridiculous. Can it really cost that much to make a headband? Okay, if it has like really expensive materials, precious jewels on it, or something, I could see that. I sure as fuck wouldn’t buy it, but I would understand why it cost that much.
      We’ll see.

  • I designed one myself.. so I don’t need to shell out $200. Anyone can go to Joanns. They are like crowns that they wear. A whimsical style that some girls like. Now if only someone can create a unicorn bike line and im set for an adventure with my prince!

  • I have relatives in Seattle area (originally from Detroit) and they were calling all week wondering if we could get them snow shovels. Apparently they aren’t very popular around there.

  • ugh I hate headbands. I don’t care if they are $5 or $100. They look stupid (esp when worn like above….. what the hell). Whatever though. Lohan’s leggings are extremely overpriced too. So I guess celebrities like waiting until a trend is seriously over, then try to sell very overpriced versions of it.

  • Now we know why she has been wearing those butt-ugly headbands everywhere.
    My remembrance of headbands were those sorta stiff plastic things with the teeth from the 80s. They didn’t look good and after a little while they started to hurt. A lot.
    They did keep your hair back, though. These don’t even look like they do that.

  • Most reports say seattle got 4-7 inches of snow. i mean i know you guys arent used to it but come onnnnn stop talking about it like your stuck in a blizzard, YOU DIDNT EVEN GET ONE FOOT OF SNOW. try visiting canada, or the northern midwest or east.

    • yeah, see the thing is though that it NEVER snows in seattle. so, while people are prepared for it in canada or wherever, they’re NOT prepared for it in seattle and it’s a mess. trust me, i’m here.

    • My relatives live up in Buffalo… they get 16 inches of snow and they’ve got clear streets in time for the kiddies to get to school without any problem.

      Whereas in NJ, where I am, we get off from school if there’s a mere 5 inches because we don’t have the speedy plowers and tools necessary to clear off the roads.

      Obviously people who expect lots of snow are able to prepare for and manage lots of snow. I don’t know why this is a hard concept to grasp lol.

    • No i totally agree that it seems like more because they werent prepared. but to get less than 10 inches in a whole week and keep saying “ITS A CRAZY SNOWSTORM” over and over is a little rediculous. Thats like someone in somewhere cold saying “its a blistering hot heat wave today” when its 60 degrees. Yea its warm that you werent expecting but thats just a stupid statement.

  • how difficult is it to “design” a headband? and it’s not really accurate to call yourself a headband/bangle designer. in fairness, the headband and bangle have already been invented/designed. you are merely decorating someone else’s design.

    you can dip a headband in glue and throw some sparkles at it. voila! designed.

  • is there no end to this woman’s talents? She is an oscar worthy actress, a fashion muse, has the face of an angel, the body of a supermodel and now she is designing fashion as well, and not just any fashion HIGH end fashion. Wow.

  • The face of a goddess, the body of a supermodel, an Oscar worthy actress, fashion muse and now a high end fashion designer – this woman is amazing and still only 18?! Phenomenal

  • i hope ppl won’t be actually buying any of them – soz Mischa.
    Tho, btw, who in their sane mind would? and i mean just a normal person not a rich celebrity. if i lived in america i’d def stare at every chick’s legs to check if shes wearing LL’s leggings. i think i’d go paranoid or sth. And yeh, def, headbands belong in the 80’s

  • I think she’s doing a whole lot more than giving them her name and helping to design the crappy headbands and modelling them as a modern wasted hippy for said designers? It’s a retro accessory that no one really likes, but you do what you gotta do if money and fame, staying independant and high with the paycheck is your only goal in life.

  • Wasn’t Beet pimping a friend’s overpriced head jewelery a few months back? I seem to recall it costing about the same.

  • LOVE BARACK OBAMA!! FINALLY YOU DID SOMETHING RIGHT! THANKS AMERICA… and by the by…looooooooove dave matthews band!!

  • 200 isn’t that bad for a headband. I’ve paid close to that amount for all of my Burberry headbands. Theres plenty of headbands in the market that are so much worse (When I say worse,i mean it) out there,but so much higher price tag.

  • she is F*UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!
    she’s on coke

    sounds like some jealous bitches on here.
    Mischa Barton is hot, damn just look at those eyes and massive cheek bones
