Courtney Love: Kurt Converse Limited Edition scheme

Hans Werksman — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:58:00 GMT

When a famous musician leaves the planet, there's always the widow to make sure that her late husband will keep supporting her through archival releases and "endorsements". Courtney Love has no trouble at all in putting her sign of approval on a new pair of shoes:

Converse have announced plans to release a new limited edition series of shoes inspired by late-Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, each decorated with drawings and writing from his posthumously released journals. The line will include Converse High Tops and rather more morbidly a pair of black One Tops, the shoes Cobain was wearing when he committed suicide in 1994.

A big "fuck you, Courtney" is in order.

Dude, where is my kimono? God only knows who is willing to buy a Brian Wilson kimono.

First there was the Brian Wilson doll and now this. Is this the ultimate wardrobe enhancement for listening to Smile or Pet Sounds?

Brian is selling it through his website... This is official merchandise.

"Waiter!"
"Sir."
"White Russian."
"In a minute, sir."

Hans Werksman — Wed, 02 May 2007 19:12:00 GMT

Garage sale at Kurt's. Courtney Love is selling stuff through an auction.

Late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's widow, singer and actress Courtney Love, plans to auction off most of Cobain's belongings, according to Spinner.com. Love told the web site, "I'm going to have a Christie's auction. (My house) is like a mausoleum. My daughter (Frances Bean Cobain) doesn't need to inherit a giant Hefty bag full of flannel fucking shirts. A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to '(Smells Like) Teen Spirit' -- that's what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we'll just fucking sell." Love added that much of the money from the sale will go to charity.
