TLC lends their ‘CrazySexyCool’ to Good American
TLC’s Chilli and T-Boz are the faces of a ‘90s nostalgia-packed new campaign for Khloe Kardashian’s Good American brand, titled “CrazySexyGood.”
According to a press release, Good American tapped the iconic duo because their girl power represents what the inclusive brand stands for, “from their bold fashion to their inspiring music that defined the ‘90s and early ‘00s.”
“With this campaign, we are thrilled to honor and celebrate the women of TLC,” Good American CEO Emma Grede said in a statement. “Having paved the way in both music and fashion, as well as acting as trailblazers on social matters, TLC represents the Good American woman in the best possible way, which is why it felt so natural for us to celebrate them with this campaign.”
“We love the way Good American embodies the message of embracing beauty in all forms, and that will always resonate with us,” said Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins. “We’re proud to be a part of a campaign that’s about celebrating real women, with real curves, and empowering them to remain true to themselves and feel confident and sexy in their own skin.”
The range includes sweats, outerwear and faux-leather pieces, ranging in price between $65 and $210.
Bad b—s have bad days, too!
In August, Megan Thee Stallion dropped her latest album, “Traumazine” and shortly thereafter, launched a mental health resource website, Bad B—s Have Bad Days Too. After kicking off the month of October with a reprisal of her role as a pumpkin head — this time at brunch — she has blessed our timelines yet again.
This week, the Hot Girl announced new merch with a mental health focus. That’s right, a whole new range of t-shirts, tanks, tube-tops, and hoodies have dropped reminding us that bad anxiety is something bad b—s aren’t exempt from. The apparel, ranging in price from $35 to $65, debuts just a month after Megan launched her new website, which is focused on spreading awareness and resources for coping with anxiety for the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities.
