Well, this is different…
Celebrities typically start out with a perfume line – but not Amy Winehouse. Instead, she is launching a range of greetings cards.
The troubled singer has signed a deal to use images and lyrics from her award-winning ‘Back To Black‘ album on a series of stationery.
A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper:
"The bosses at EMI are keen to keep the cash cow churning out the money.
"The first item in the Winehouse range will be wrapping paper with the chorus of ‘Rehab’ emblazoned all over it."The Amy-branded cards are classy too. ‘You Know I’m No Good’ is best for heartfelt apologies and ‘Back To Black’, with an appropriate wreath, will be the respectful response to a bereavement."
While the venture has been attacked for being in poor taste, Amy’s publishers insist they have had a great response from the public for the idea.
Jonathan Channon, EMI Music Publishing Europe vice president said:"We are looking to create innovative revenue streams from our songs with mainstream retailers and the Amy wrapping paper and gift cards received a very positive response. These are songs which already have a great resonance with the public."
Amy is currently living in St Lucia, where she is working on her much-delayed third album.
What do you think? Would you buy a greeting card from Amy’s line? Will her pictures be on them? LOL! I actually can’t wait to see them. Hope they hit the States.
I think I will stick to Hallmark!
I find this quite odd.
I would NOT buy greeting cards by Amy lol! Maybe this was her only offer, maybe clothing, perfume, accessories people won’t touch her??
Those are some strange, off putting comments at the top… LOL! I think I might buy an Amy Winehouse greeting card!
I wouldn’t buy her greeting cards, simply because the money would probably go towards her disgusting drug habits. Why support THAT?
If a loved one died and someone gave me an Amy Winehouse card, I’d shove it down their throat.
LOL! Amen!
she is a really gifted singer, I fell in LOVE with back in black. I really hope she comes out with a 3rd album already
lame.
“The Amy-branded cards are classy too. ‘You Know I’m No Good’ is best for heartfelt apologies and ‘Back To Black’, with an appropriate wreath, will be the respectful response to a bereavement.”
Pretty tongue in cheek comment there. I’m gonna call shenanigans on this announcement.
I’m pretty sure that her cards will be embellished with cigarette ashes, blood stains and whatever is in that beehive of hers. disgusting! I’ll stick to making my own, thanks!
classy and Amy Winehouse just do not belong in the same description. I love her music, her voice, etc…however, this has to be one of the worst decisions in taste EVER. I would be surprised if this idea even came from her though….just milking the cash cow
Eww, is that coke bloat (look at her lower stomach)…cause with all the drugs she does there is no way in hell she could be pregnant. RIGHT?
That’s the most random thing I’ve heard all day. I’d only buy one if they’re non-Amy related.
what is there going to be a “welcome home from rehab” card? I just don’t see it happening.
Well this is… weird. I wouldn’t buy an Amy Winehouse greeting card.

Given the current state of the economy, here’s a quick job plug for anyone interested and qualified. At the Drizzle Developer Day on Friday, I got to meet Adrian Otto from Rackspace. Rackspace has a cloud offering (think Aamazon EC2) that’s called Mosso and is willing to employ full time developers who spend all their time working on Drizzle. Here’s what he sent to the mailing list. I was speaking with Eric Day at the developer http://www.bawden.info conference, and I mentioned…
what is with all the spam? go away please!
Traveling is a great way to experience places, but what is the essence of your travel.
I just can’t support this woman in any capacity.
Probably NOT!!!!
I don’t think so!
