The “Sexy Back” singer is totally trying to tap into his Southern roots with his clothing line William Rast. How very Kid Rock of him. At the show for his clothing line at Fashion Week in New York, Justin Timberlake tried to keep it “real” by offering up buckets of Budweiser to the fashion mavens in attendance.
As much as it pains me to contradict the opinion of fellow blogger Intern Traci, the whole marketing ploy of JT playing the character of the cigarette-smoking charming Southern outlaw kind of strikes me as not all that authentic and sort of “meh.” Maybe it’s because I know actual Southerners that the “kitsch” element is lost on me.
I feel like we can sum up Timberlake’s look as expensive jeans, tie, jacket and tennis shoes. Ta-da. And actually, maybe the William Rast clothing line is more in-depth and nuanced than that, but I’m annoyed with the marketing campaign, so whatevs. I don’t want my man dressing trendy anyway.

um… unlike Kid Rock (who is from Michigan), Justin Timberlake IS an “actual Southerner”. He’s from Tennessee.
Ditto the above….there actually exists footage of little Justin crying tears of joy after winning a pageant as a small boy. If that ain’t Southern, I don’t know what is. All you need is your models coming out the door of a single wide and kitsch mission accomplished!

so sad and lame. does any celeb NOT need there own clothing line? /snore
