Dear Justin,Although I swore allegiance to the Backstreet Boys during a particularly memorable sleepover in 4th grade, during the course of which I also played “light as a feather, stiff as a board,” and put the underwear of the first girl to fall asleep into the freezer, I have to confess that there was also a special place in my heart for you. If I’m being perfectly honest though, I still don’t understand what the deal was with your frosted Jeri curl. But I digress. You were great in Nsync and perhaps even better solo, but I cannot, in good faith support your decisions to either 1. Try your hand at acting or 2. Try your hand at designing. In regards to the second offense, I firmly believe that your collaboration with your childhood friend Trace Ayala on William Rast never should have happened. I mostly try to pretend it didn’t but on occasion this fantasy cannot be maintained; like today, when I found out that your line will be featured as one of Target’s designer collections. Being in the company of Proenza Schouler and Zac Posen is not to be taken lightly; and while some may fight to be first in line on December 19th when the collection [which will feature outerwear and sportswear for both men and women] makes its debut, I will not. Please do not send the customary response written by your PR assistant like last time.
Love,
Jess xoxo
