The bitch is back... Alexis for Alexis!


Time to rejoice Dynasty fans, 80s nerds, shoulder pad fetishists, gay men, and fashionistas everywhere...

Joan Collins has returned!

The erstwhile Alexis Carrington Colby Whatever (weren't there like 8 husbands) is the new face of Alexis Bittar jewelry.

New York designer Bittar makes gorgeous big clunky colourful upscale fashion jewelry - and when we say 'fashion' as opposed to 'fine' jewelry, we mean fabulous pieces in lucite, enamel, turquoise, crystals, etc, as opposed to pricey gems - which is very 80s inspired and perfect for the eternal diva.

According to the press release, which you know must be the gospel truth, Collins was quoted in the media as saying she loves the jewelry, and then got a call from the designer himself, and poof, an advertising campaign was born.

See the collection and the diva at http://www.alexisbittar.com/.

Me, I'm waiting for the Krystle Carrington collection....

I just want to thank you for bringing awareness to the shoulder pad fetishest movement. We are oft understood individuals. ;)

It takes a person with a BIG personality to wear that jewelry.

Wait. Isn't there a line of Joan Collins wigs?

Do you think it might be TOO much if I went out in my Joan Collins wig and jewelry?

Please tell me she's got a clothing line too....

Hang on a minute. I thought that Joan Collins was about 70 years old..... Ok I might be being a tad picky, but she only looks about 40 in those shots. Airbrushing or Cosmetic Surgery? P.S. Love the jewellry though!!

For a second I thought you were going to tell me that they were reshooting Dynasty. Now I find you're not - and I'm not sure whether I'm happy or sad!

You're right. That IS a new face.

(Damn. I get so catty sometimes.)

I will stick with diamonds. No one in the room can wear more diamonds than me. Did you read this, honey?

Brahm said...

According to an article I found online she is 73, so that is a lot of airbrushing and makeup (and maaaybe a little nip or tuck)...

I remember Joan Collins wigs, eyeglasses, and VHS movies where she "presented" b-level movies she liked or supposedly liked.

I remember times when Dynasty was a huge hit in Russia, not in the 80s but rather 90s I guess and the whole family was really hooked into it. And I did love Alexis, of course :D

Um..can I please look like that when I'm 101?

Perhaps she's running an Impersonator Agency, like the mall Santa's...
