To Perez, xXx From Paris: Happy Birthday Gossip Gangster!
Perez Hilton> You Know You’re Good When..
You can make snarky comments about people and they still show up at your party.
The Gossip Gangster turned the big 3-0 this last spring, and the likes of Amanda Bynes, Paris Hilton, Kelly Osbourne and Amy Winehouse turned up to fete the man who’s made a mint on their misadventures and/or misfortunes.
There’s a certain playful affection that’s unique to Perez, which enables him to remain unscathed. Celebs can’t seem to ween themselves off of watching their disasters unfold on his blog. Now that’s one impressive trampoline act on the part of the self-described The Queen of All Media. One could argue he’s one of the best social strategists since Otto von Bismarck. Or not.
How hilarious is this image of Perez’s three befuddled muses at his party:

Are they fighting over corporate sponsor table top swag? Oh dear.
And of course, the money shot was all about Paris on Perez. Yikes.

Though ShoeMinx is not a fan of The Hills, we are digging the shoes Heidi Montag wore to Perez’s birthday bash.

Perez Hilton “Gangster Gossip” Flip Flops
No one can work over the pomp of red carpet rituals like Perez Hilton. He’s the first to take a pot shot or tag a starlet for showing up in a dress that looks like a 1940’s shower curtain. Extending his signature brand of irreverent snarkiness, the celebrity blogger’s line includes kitschy items like vintage-inspired shuttered sunglasses and Perez-branded shower caps.
It’s official. This is truly a surreal moment in fashion branding and late capitalism, folks.
Forecast: Look out for all the marginalized kids in Japan to start wearing Perez Hilton “ironically” and uploading woeful Gossip Gangster self-portraits Facebook. You know, when they’re really philosophy majors studying the Hegelian dialectic over a bowl of hot beef ramen. Oddly enough, this wearing of say, a Pat Benatar T-shirt “in jest” is one of the ultimate stamps of fashion. Nicely played, Perez. Nicely played indeed. Either way, the man with “Queen of All Media” branded microphone wins.
Playing with his Gossip Gangster image, the line dabbles in all kinds of assorted aesthetics: Hello Kitty on Acid, New Kids on the Block: All Grown Up And In Rehab, Miami Vice-meets-21 Jump Street. It’s actually not a bad intersection of cultural references. Again, more evidence that Perez Hilton is the dominant “social professor” of our times.
