Wonders never cease to surprise me, but this one really took me off guard. Evidently, one of Marc Jacobs’ BFFs is none other than rapper-extraordinaire and Dancing with the Stars favorite Lil’ Kim.
Now that you’ve had a second to recover from your initial shock, here’s the other surprising part. The two have been friends for years. I suppose I shouldn’t be bowled over by the info since the two are both in creative fields and have a love of fashion in common. Somehow, though, it still seems like an odd pairing.
The two have been friends for a while and once even collaborated for a fashion project to benefit charity. According to Lil’ Kim, Jacobs supported her throughout her 10-month prison sentence back in 2006 with weekly encouraging letters. The tiny rapper-turned-ballroom-dancer showed her appreciation in a slightly different way.
“I decided to buy a coloring book – I’m a huge Bratz fan – and I painted the Bratz and made them all wear Marc Jacobs, and sent it to him. He blew it up and framed it, and now it’s hanging in his house. So Marc Jacobs is the best.”
Lil’ Kim’s, um, art might be quite different from the fashionable and extremely wearable art of the popular designer, but I guess their friendship has withstood more than most.
