Amanda Bynes: Dear God, Why?

amanda bynesParis Hilton has recently directed her career in a new direction, exploring the field of neural surgery. …Kidding! Because it’s actually worse.

Nickelodeon sweetheart (has-been? has-she-ever-been?) Amanda ‘A is for awkward’ Bynes will be introducing her new clothing line, Dear, in Steve & Barry’s stores on August 16th. Police are still in the process of investigating which hallucinogens Steve and/or Barry were on when the line was approved.

If you were one of the innocent channel surfers who fell to witness Bynes’ tragic sitcom flop on her show with Jennie Garth and that guy from Saturday morning TV circa 1998, I’m sure you are shaking your head in utter confusion to this painful news.

If you, in even more dreadful circumstances, were unjustly subjected to that She’s the Man soccer flick where not even Channing Tatum’s fantastically sculpted abs could pardon a pre-pubescent male-disguised Bynes who seemed misled to believe that apparently speaking under the guise of a muddled Southern accent would make her seem more manly, then you will undoubtedly be unable to fathom my next five words: her clothing line is worse.

Having taken a peek at what’s in store, I can’t help but wonder what rock I was living under when plastic beaded jewelry and clothing adorned in hot pink hearts and stars became the new runway chic. I’d bet a Benjamin that Bynes wouldn’t even wear that mess.

The whole appeal of clothing lines at Steve & Barry’s is, celebrity style for under twenty, correct? But the unfortunate truth is that the only people willing to be caught dead in such a get up as the ones Dear’s put together, would be my senile great grandmother who tends to think her cat is an ottoman, or my four-year-old cousin, who can spend up to six hours talking to herself inside of a cardboard box.

I understood the Bitten attempt, Sex & the City for cheapies, it made sense. But this? Bynes? Why.

    I think that you are totally off when it comes to Amanda Bynes's clothing line. From the pictures that I have seen, the clothes seem cute, and I would wear what I have seen so far.

    You seem to be very hostile towards a talented and promising young actress wich to me drops your credibility to zero (0). There is actually a huge market for cute/ afforable clothes for young women that unlike other brands is not trying to oversex or exploit their sexuality.

    I think you are way off when it comes to amanda bynes new line. The clothes seem very cute and up to date with what many girls are wearing to day. I also disagree and belive her clothing line will be very popular.

    Amanda is a great young actress, and her show “What I Like About You” was good too.

    I’m a guy so I have no idea how good her clothing line is or isn’t? But I went to one of her autograph signings at a Steve & Barry’s and just like it has always appeared in interviews, she seemed really nice and friendly to her fans!

    She’s a very talented young woman, and is much more respectable than most actresses these days.

    I really don't think that one person's opinions of someone's apparent success (or not) should define how good or attractive the clothing label is! who cares if "What I Like About You" wasn't rated in the top ten tv shows? And I agree with You're not nice–it's refreshing to see cheap clothes that look good and don't look cheap on girls–at least she's not trying to promote the "outsexing" of others like so many other celebrities.

    Are these people serious? This is not a "clothing line". Christ, my senile great-grandmother who refuses to open her eyes or speak in English could have thrown together those "looks". Some of those t-shirts look like they've been printed with Microsoft Word clip art.
