KATHIE LEE GIFFORD 2.0

Looks like all those hours of sitting in front of the TV doing Winsor Pilates does a body good!

Daisy Fuentes was all champagne kisses and caviar dreams while frolicking on the sandy shores of sunny St. Barts recently.

The young actress/model/fashion designer has escaped the US where she has come under fire for using a sweatshop in Guatemala to produce her clothing line at Kohl’s department stores.

According to the NYC-based National Labor Committee, conditions at the apparel factory, Fribo, S.A, in Santiago Sacatepequez are abusive and illegal under Guatemalan law.

Workers are paid twenty-five cents for each Daisy Fuentes blouse that sells for $22-38 in the United States.

What’s more? Workers (mostly female) are cheated of health care, maternity and pension benefits.

Gee, I wonder how well eternal guilt goes with a $500 bottle of Cristal champagne?

    I never cared for her, I always wondered why she was famous (like many people). She was boring as a VJ host on MTV back in the day, on America’s funniest videos she was cold and bitchy. She’s boring and dull period. Now she’s celebrating while those people are working in the sweatshops, should be the other way around! LOL

    If you want to help underpaid workers in foreign countries, don’t buy clothes that are made in those countries. Buy clothes that are made in the USA or other countries where their workers are paid well.
