Viral celebrity V. Stiviano may want to consider a possible endorsement deal for visors after reportedly sparking a sufficient trend with growing sales.
According to reports, Stiviano’s decision to rock visors since last weekend’s Donald Sterling audio tape leaked has caught the attention of consumers.
If you ever thought about getting into the multi-colored visor business, now’s a great time — ’cause V. Stiviano’s love for face covers started a boom. We spoke with a company who sells the colored visors online … and the guy who runs it says sales are SOARING following the drama surrounding Donald Sterling’s racist rant. The company went from selling around 5 a day, to at least 100 … with red and blue selling the most — the same colors V’s been sporting around town. No one has outright said they made the purchase because of her but the owner says he can’t single out any other reason for the sudden interest. (TMZ)
This weekend, former video vixen Karrine Steffans admitted she could see Stiviano penning a book in the future.
“I know that V writes a lot down, she records everything, she’s an archivist, there are always things in her head,” Steffans told Radar. “That’s who she is. She has her very own way of seeing things. V will write a book one day.” (RadarOnline)
Despite the speculation, Superhead said she believed the Internet star would fall back on addressing the Sterling controversy.
“She’s said ‘When I do write a book, it’s not going to be about this,'” Steffans continued of the racism scandal that led to the fallen basketball owner to be banned from the NBA for life. “But V says a lot of things, like she told me she would become president and wanted to be the mayor, which is weird.” (RadarOnline)
Sterling’s girlfriend came forward to address the situation heading into the weekend.
In an exclusive with ABC’s Barbara Walters on Friday, she said Sterling is hurting after the scandal that turned him into a sports pariah. “I think he feels very alone. Not truly supported by those around him,” Stiviano, 31, said. “Tormented. Emotionally traumatized.” But, she told Walters, this is not the first time they’ve discussed race. “There’s been a number of occasions where Mr. Sterling and I had conversations just like this one,” she said. “Part of what the world heard was only 15 minutes. There’s a number of other hours that the world doesn’t know.” (CNN)
