Katherine Heigl of Grey's Anatomy launches clothing line of medical scrubs!

[kissmesweet]

I read this on OTND and thought it was too funny to not post it here!

omg are you kidding?
"Grey's Anatomy's" Katherine Heigl loves scrubs -- and by that we don't mean Isaiah Washington!

Heigl may not be a doctor, but she plays one on TV, and has decided to get into the celeb fashion biz by launching a clothing line -- of medical scrubs and healthcare industry uniforms! Nurse!

The Katherine Heigl Collection will feature designs "appropriate for women of all ages who work in hospitals, private residences, clinics, dental offices, labs, spas and other healthcare environments." Perfect for the code red carpet!

Most items in the catastrophic couture line are priced under $25 and will be "available this fall in retail outlets, online stores and catalogues selling women's medical apparel." Like Abercrombie & Splint, H+M.O. and Gap Smear.

This totally made my day. I haven't stopped laughing since I read it.

This has got to be a joke...

 

[TheGlassAngel]

Yeah, I refuse to believe it

 

[Salvatore]

Hopefully they will have a line for men soon!

 

[truebluejen]

Funniest thing I've read all day

OMG!!
Are you serious!?!?
That would be ridiculous!
I hope this isn't true.

Actually, I think its pretty great. People I know are always complaining how ugly and ill-fitting the scrubs are.

Sadly, the story is true.

I bet the medical industry is upset about this one. Can you blame them?

This seriously gave me a much needed laugh. What next? Jennifer Love Hewitt designs a home kit for busting ghosts? Sarah Michelle Gellar sells her own brand of garlic for warding off vampires?

It amuses me greatly how the press release makes this collection sound like a breakthrough in clothing: "[The] collection will bring a new level of style and sophistication to medical professionals...innovative styling, edgy silhouettes..."

Honestly, do medical professionals really desire having edgy silhouettes with their scrubs? I can just imagine it: "Introducing...the empire-waist scrub!"

I totally love it. I am all for fashion, but the hospital is the one place where I vote function over fashion. I don't care if my doctor is wearing a Prada dress just so long as they don't accidentally remove my neck.

That's kind of funny being that, if you scrub into the OR, you CANNOT wear long sleeve shirts under your scrubs.

 

[I_Want_That_One]

if they're well made and fit the body better then the regular ones, this is actually pretty cool. I'd try 'em out

This is so cute & funny!
