INK thinks Joe Faris of Troy
X*" should have won the Olympic
** Challenge on Project Runway.
Faris ranked among the top three finalists
for his athletic and fresh design,
which featured a sporty jacket and skirt
in red, white and blue. He captured the
spirit of the challenge with an outfit
that was truly wearable and appropriate
to the 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening
Ceremonies. He was the only one who
emblazoned the letters USA on his outfit,
and we loved it! TAine in to see how
Faris fares on the hit fashion design

Paris Hilton dons local
designer's duds in viral video
BY WENSDY VON BUSKiRK
OSE STAFF WRITER
Trisha Geftos was in New
York when Paris Hilton showed
up on national TV in a swimsuit
Geftos designed.
"I could not believe it*jsaid
the Riverview, Mich., native.
"I knew she purchased the suit
and matching coverup from
Lisa Kline in Los Angeles, but
I never imagined it would be
seen by over four million people
nationwide."
Hilton is wearing the "totally
hot" leopard print one-piece in
a viral video that got a flurry
of attention last week. It got
more than 6.5 million hits at
FunnyorDie.com, and was
picked up by news celebrity
gossip shows like TMZ.
In the video, Hilton
responds to a campaign ad
by Republican John McCain
that featured clips of her and
Britney Spears. Hilton jokes
about running for president,
choosing a vice-presidential
candidate — perhaps Rihanna
— and painting the White
House pink. But more important
than what the celebutante
says is what she's wearing.
Her "Animal Attraction"
cut-out swimsuit is part of
the up-and-coming Geftaki
Swimwear collection, which .
Geftos designs and sells out of
her family's business, Brothers
Fine Jewelry in Southgate.
The suits are available at
select boutiques in five states,
and stars like Kim Kardashian,
Denise Richards and Jessica
Simpson have also been spotted
in Geftaki;
According to Geftos, the
Animal Attraction suit was

already popular, selling out
within a month at MGM Grand
and Mandalay Bay resorts
in Las Vegas. But thanks to
Hilton, sales have increased.
"I believe that people are
drawn to this suit because it is
unique, flashy and you probably
are not going to see anyone
else wearing the same suit as
you," Geftos said.
Anyone, that is, except Paris.
