Well, apparently, they’re both going to have their own celebrity clothing lines. Yep, because if there’s anyone that I’d like to design my clothes, its a guy that wears an orange sheet!

Fashionista blog reports that street fashion brand Tonic will launch a personally-branded t-shirt line with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, with proceeds benefiting charities of his choosing.

I’m a little bit skeptical about this story to say the least, I first came across it via Boing Boing (where the above quote comes from), who said that Fashionista were reporting it, but the BB link lead to a dead end, and I can’t find a trace of it on the Fashionista site, and no one else seems to have reported it on Google News (obviously there are rather more pressing issues in Tibet for him to be concerned with at the moment which might be affecting my searches). I’m not saying its untrue since it doesn’t seem that crazy for him to have some tees designed (presumably for him, not by him) with a large chunk of the sales going to charities selected by his holiness, but it does seem like the kind of thing that would have more than one source.
