Lindsay Lohan’s Jail Time: A Legging Sales Blessing?
She’s definitely not happy about her recently-handed-down sentence of 90 days in jail for probation violation, but Lindsay Lohan could possibly reap some retail benefits from her plight. According to senior retail analyst Jeff Vansinderen, the “Mean Girls” actress’ 6126 fashion line may actually get a boost in sales when LiLo goes to the slammer. “Lindsay has mind share right now, so people will be interested to see what the merchandise looks like. Times are tough right now in the retail environment and if I’m a retailer, I’m going to put the merchandise out there and try to sell it.” “It’s not necessarily a bad thing. At the end of the day it may not hurt, and it could even help sales in an ironic and twisted way. It would help if she is successful in her recovery and fans get behind her. Then she could use that to her benefit to promote the line.”
