Would You Wear ’50 Shades of Grey’ Lingerie
Would you wear 50 Shades of Grey lingerie? How about perfume? Would you furnish your home with 50 Shades furniture? Sleep on 50 Shades bedding? Write letters on 50 Shades stationary? Even if your answer to all of these queries is a resounding no, you’d better prepare yourselves mentally, because guess what? It’s happening. For real.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, 50 Shades of Grey author Snowqueens Icedragon—sorry, E.L. James—and her agent Val Hoskins have selected the UK-based company Caroline Mickler Ltd. To be the global licensing agent for merchandise based on the book and its two sequels. Although specific products haven’t yet been announced, Mickler is considering, in addition to the products mentioned above, marketing apparel, sleepwear, beauty products, jewelry, and “adult products aimed at adult women” (you do the math on what exactly that means). Mickler will be putting in an appearance at Las Vegas’ Licensing Expo—which is happening right now, actually—and at London’s Brand Licensing Europe 2012 in October to meet with potential licensees.
