EDITED TO ADD1/28/09: Wooky Entertainment claims that the "First Glass" bling title displayed below is a "typo". They even changed their display at CHA to reflect the change by covering the title on the sample shown below with cardstock.Here are some more groovy shots of the new line:
Kits will retail at $19.99 and include chipboard stickers, glossy papers, rhinestones/bling, and 3D embellishment stickers.
Interesting title "First Glass" see the matching drink stickers?Perfect for your pre-teen to scrap her first night of alcohol induced partying!
Will Paris be wearing these on the red carpet?
These are the only two albums currently, but she hopes to release several more in the future. These albums will retail for $49.95 each. They must be hoping that their demographic of "teens and tweens" are getting some hefty allowances.
She has craft kits in addition to the scrapbooking. Also shown here are the necklaces, and the other is for bracelets with matching rings. When asked how long the bracelets take to make, Paris looked at the bracelet and then replied, "Uhhh... 15 minutes?!" Not sure if that was a question or a statement. It looked more like a 45-60 minute project from the box. But you know how multi-talented Paris is, being a model/actress/author/entrepreneur... she could be a very speedy crafter...
She also has t-shirt making kits available that include word transfers, adhesive bling, and inappropriate glitter cut-outs of tall and thin, busty girls.
Paris did LOOK amazing... flawless... with the a really "hot" dress. Oh, and she did say hot at least once. We think it's in her appearance contract maybe. Our reporters also got her to model a bracelet and a ring... and we witnessed a necklace from her line break in her hands.
How "hot" is THAT!
More non-Paris news to come!

Wow! It's incredibly tacky and overdone... Just like Paris!
Aren't there hundreds of companies at CHA? Move on, already!
Yeah, definitely not a Paris fan and it looks like I won't be a fan of her attempt at "art" with her craft line. Sorry ladies.
I think people need to think about all the other products celebrities promote and give Paris a break. How much does Michael Phelps know about Rosetta Stone for example? Do the athletes on the Wheaties boxes know all the nutrition facts? This is obviously a "buzz-generating" marketing tactic. And it seems to have worked very well.
I probably would have liked to use this stuff when I was in high school and college. Don't have much use for this style nowadays, except maybe for a bachelorette party :)
I'm not a fan of any of it, and that's OK. I'm not always a fan of everything. BUT:
The "first glass" thing really bugs me - it just says all kinds of things about her and the message she's trying to send.
Idunno, seems like she should have put in way more time than she did with these products if she was going to attach her name to them.
One word = TACKY!
Yep - totally have seen enough of miss p. Ready to see something I could use!
Oh it's "hot" for a 12 year old. I'm focusing my hard earned scappy dollars elsewhere. Thanks for showing tho, I know my LSS will not likely bring it in for us to gawk at in person.
Anyway, wish I was there with you!! Much more than the dayjob here.
Peace Out!
"First Glass" is too hilarious! Will she have grainy green stickers to commemorate "First Private Video" as well?
That's why she didn't wear it?! It broke!! That's what you get when you have bald men with accents craft!
OMG, "first glass?!" The silhouette of the girl looks like she hit the floor. Love how inappropriate that is for tweens/teens! LOL
And $50?! Do you get her perfume with it? Is it made out of diamonds?? What the?!
Well for college girls...this line seems perfect. My 19 year old sister went to Europe this past summer and ALL of her pics look like the ones used in Paris' samples. So YOU may not be the market...but there is a market.
And yes...they were all drinking in the pictures!!

Thank you.

If the Paris Hilton empire creates interest and a much needed cash infusion to the scrapbook/papercraft industry then I say "Go Paris"!!! No one says you have to buy it-don't be haters, It doesn't mean u have to agree with her lifestyle but she's obviously got a smart group of people in her camp to tap into this market! ;)

I expect there will be lots of over-indulged tweens looking for attention who will eat up this line.
Naturally, it will not be welcome in my home as I prefer something that generates higher moral values.
Ahh, Paris, I dare you think think outside the current lines of publicity and use your fame and fortune for a better cause.
This is the same reason you won't find any "Bratz" items in our home either.
Creatively,

Quelle HORREUR !!!
I guess lol, it looks so dang tacky. It reminds me of a more "generic" line of the Miss Elizabeth stuff they sell at the Dollar Tree. And I can't see paying 50.00 bucks for a album! I think she just noticed how big scrapbooking is and tried to market on the trend. And my 7 yr. old pages look way better than those. Wonder if she did actually make em.
