I don’t normally make fun of kids, but in this case I am totally, like, willing to make an exception?

Would one whip one’s hair back and forth in this outfit?
December 22, 2010 at 4:33 pm
i feel like i’ve just had a lobotomy after watching that video
December 22, 2010 at 4:34 pm
i thought they were clamping down on child labour in the garment industry.

She is totally harshing my Vicodin buzz.
And now I want to punch a baby in the face.
December 22, 2010 at 4:34 pm
Definitely an outfit my 7 year old would love, however any mother dumb enough to spend that kind of money on such tackiness has obviously already had their “art” listed here!

This is where Lady Gaga gets her outfits.
December 22, 2010 at 4:36 pm
Like. Ohhhhwe Myeeeeeeeeee Gaaaaaawddddd.
1:58 was 1:56 too long to listen to her.
*shudder*
Are my ears bleeding?

the use of quotation marks is interesting:

at least they have it right when they call these “masterpieces”
December 22, 2010 at 4:39 pm
I hate that child. And I hate her parents. And I hate anyone who encourages that kind of behavior.
December 22, 2010 at 4:41 pm
Wow. I lost track of how many ‘like’s there were in such a short space of time. Part of me is trying to be good… Trying to listen to the angel on my shoulder that’s reminding me she is only 10… Instead all I can think is ‘SAY ‘LIKE’ ONE MORE TIME YOU LITTLE *****, SAY IT AGAIN!’
I am ashamed. But then again, she should be too.
‘Dear Santa, I only snapped because HK posted a video and I watched it…’
December 22, 2010 at 4:41 pm
I let my 5 year old dress herself this morning and the end result was a brown headband, a purple plaid dress, striped leggins and glitter socks. Reminds me of this only goodwill prices!
December 22, 2010 at 4:42 pm
You know there’s something on your head, right?
December 22, 2010 at 4:42 pm
Fashion designer? WTF is that on her head? Jiffy Pop?
This little pain in the ass reminds me of every stuck-up rich-bitch kid that wouldn’t have anything to do with me as a kid.
I feel a call to my therapist coming on. After I hit the liquor store.
December 22, 2010 at 4:43 pm
If you dress your kid in anything from this “collection” I will bitch slap you myself and report you to child services.
December 22, 2010 at 4:45 pm
“Masterpieces”? “Masterfeces” is more like it.
December 22, 2010 at 4:45 pm
Our ego culture at work… being able to sew a straight seam doesn’t make you a fashion designer, child or adult.
December 22, 2010 at 4:45 pm
I made it 50 seconds. I’m going to go pour myself a glass of wine as a reward.
December 22, 2010 at 4:47 pm
Her mother obviously has way too much time on her hands.
December 22, 2010 at 4:49 pm
She already has the high-maintenance fakery look going. And she’s 10. I blame the parents -_-’
December 22, 2010 at 4:50 pm
Something about that cock-eyed waist seam doesn’t quite add up to $73.
What’s the fashion equivalent for stage mother?
December 22, 2010 at 4:50 pm
All commenters: ROFLMFAO!!!!!
Cecilia Cassini and parents: This child should be neither seen nor heard.
December 22, 2010 at 4:53 pm
I feel the need to add that it makes no sense that the above piece takes 3 weeks to create. Unless the outfit has narrow pleating or hand beading, that sucker better be flying out the moment the poor shmuck who ordered it presses send.
December 22, 2010 at 4:54 pm
If you mute the video it syncs up with R.Kelly songs.
December 22, 2010 at 4:54 pm
I hate that they’re saying she’s the youngest designer in the country. That claim to fame belongs to my unborn, unconcieved child. He’s currently just the spirit of a gay man that haunts me and is waiting to get into my womb and take physical form when I get pregnant, but that’s where all my creations come from.
December 22, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Like, gag me with a spoon fer sher!
December 22, 2010 at 4:55 pm
I’m really looking forward to her 2016 collection, The Hideous Dress Discarded In the Back of My Prom Date’s Toyota Corolla Couture.
December 22, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Christ. First off her designs fucking suck and second she fucking sucks. I don’t care if she is only 10 I would love to smack the shit out of this brat and pull her hair until she cried.
December 22, 2010 at 4:56 pm
Sorry, I could only last 35 seconds of watching that.
December 22, 2010 at 4:57 pm
And since it’s clothing there’s no patent or copyright or anything, so ANYONE could make a knock off and sell it cheaper.
I image $6 would cover materials and labor for that…”dress”
December 22, 2010 at 5:02 pm
Is that a zit or does she have a nose piercing?
December 22, 2010 at 5:04 pm
this is precisely what i expected an 11 year old designer to be like
too bad instead of a sewing machine her parents obviously never gave her what she really needs…
(no, I meant a thick ear, not love and attention)
December 22, 2010 at 5:05 pm
And her website is…DOWN.
December 22, 2010 at 5:05 pm
Aaaaand the site’s server maxed out. Trolling at its finest.
December 22, 2010 at 5:10 pm
Nineteen seconds.
Can we sic Anon on her? Way more annoying than Jesse Slaughter.
December 22, 2010 at 5:10 pm
If you’re that fabulous at 10, the world might be sucked into your giant black hole of an ego by the time you’re 20. Someone want to go Terminator and take care of her mother eleven years ago?
December 22, 2010 at 5:13 pm
Finally. Someone speaks up.
I thought I was the only one who thought this little brat was absurd.
I could do this with the old clothes in my garage.
December 22, 2010 at 5:15 pm
NO MORE WIRE HANGERS, EVER!
December 22, 2010 at 5:24 pm
Like, Oh My God! She’s so rad!
I think she is already in her black hole of an ego.
Per her website: Besides being “crazy talented,” she exudes “highbrow fashion and couture mentality.”
In other words, she is the youngest snob in the country too. Well, probably not. Maybe the youngest in the country with a gold blob on her head.
December 22, 2010 at 5:24 pm
I feel sorry for everyone who will ever meet this girl.
December 22, 2010 at 5:26 pm
<<< I just realized I have a pink blob on my head. I could be a fashion designer, like seriously!
December 22, 2010 at 5:27 pm
I just got a fax from Tim Gunn – he told me even he wants to kick her ass.

In 10 years when Cecilia Cassini watches this video, she will be full of shame.
December 22, 2010 at 5:32 pm
I remember thinking it was cool to talk like this when I was 10 too. . .
December 22, 2010 at 5:36 pm
At first I cut her some slack because she was young and then I remembered my friend’s eight year old sister can construct more complex sentences and can sew by hand.
Also, why are so many of her dresses strapless? Aren’t they for children? Call me old fashioned but I’ve thought tube tops were for kids…
December 22, 2010 at 5:37 pm
*Never
I never thought tube tops were for kids.
December 22, 2010 at 5:38 pm
Oh and not to toot my own horn or anything, but I also had a sewing machine by a very young age, and was making my own clothing designs by age 10. I have stacks of notebooks to prove it. The only reason this girl made it and I didn’t was she is in the age of internet, and her parents or someone in her life knows how to use.
March 4, 2011 at 8:58 am
I get what you mean. I started designing when I was 5 years old, literally, and started sewing when I was 7. I was making ball gowns by the time I was her age. But because we didn’t have the parents with the money and connections we’re not considered prodigy’s or even recognized for out talent… Not to mention I never had a sewing class in my life!
December 22, 2010 at 5:39 pm
The zippers on her dresses are not only bare but also absolutely nonfunctional! I guess she was too impatient to sit through her three (3) sewing classes until they got to the fun part.
On the bright side, she makes me want to live for another 10 or 15 years just to see how she turns out. I know I will have a good laugh either way: completely successful or completely in the gutter.
December 22, 2010 at 5:40 pm
Her designs should be called Assterpieces. And, is it really a talent if you take a square tube top and add it to a terribly matched trapazoid shaped skirt, then add an equally terribly matched giant wadded up “flower” on the top?
December 22, 2010 at 5:43 pm
Children like Cecilia make me so glad I had that hysterectomy….
December 22, 2010 at 5:46 pm
This child is evil incarnate. She’s demon possessed as if by the ghost of Liberace carrying a Singer sewing machine. No matter that the teacher tried to tell her that polyester and satin don’t “go together”, she knew better and will be selling rhinestone encrusted capes, bedazzled feather boas, and plaid wedding gowns to her target audience: other gullible and self delusional rich girls without talent, taste, fashion sense, but with equal amounts of insecurity and money.
Somewhere out there is a divorce lawyer stalking in the bushes just waiting to and ready pounce on this little bitch of a money machine. Her marriages will be plentiful, short lived, and her life very lonely. She won’t understand why. After all, she has lots of talent and success and loads upon loads of self confidence to make it in the fashion industry.
Perry Ellis is rolling in his grave.
December 22, 2010 at 5:53 pm
You know as a kid, especially during the ages of 10 through teens, some of the things you make you thought was the greatest thing you can come up with. Then 1 year later, you’re so thankful only you have a copy of that horrid story you wrote.
I think when she grows up, she’ll find it so embarrassing the clothes she made at age 10. What’s worse is that it’s all online, and her parents sort of…help edge it along.
Oh well…at least there’s all these people to pay big money for childlike clothes, so it’ll sting less.
December 22, 2010 at 6:09 pm
Get the marbles out of your mouth, twerp. I have no idea who Karl Lockerfield or Diane Don Fistandpurge are but I’m sure they’re pissed you are dropping their names.
HK – I’m totally smitten with the fact that you are willing to pick on small children. Our society needs to stop coddling these brats and start showing them some tough love!
December 22, 2010 at 6:11 pm
As a side note: Does anyone else notice her physical, vocal, and mental resemblance to Teresa Guidice’s little shits?
I smell Bravo Spinoff!
December 22, 2010 at 6:12 pm
I think they will be sold in this store:

I couldn’t listen to that smarmy little voice long enough to learn, but is she related to Oleg Cassini or is that just a horrible *sobbing* coincidence? (Or did she take the name on purpose to give herself street cred?)
Having the name Cassini does not a designer make.
December 22, 2010 at 6:19 pm
and then i, like, looked for my icepick because, like, i thought wouldn’t it be amazing to, like, stuff an icepick in my effing ears so i, like, didn’t use my icepick to kill a child who parents are, like, a douchebag yuppie brood pair who are, like, polluting the world with their crackerfied valley demon spawn? i mean, like . . . RUDE!
December 22, 2010 at 6:30 pm
OK, hold the phone, I GOT it! Where’s Ashton Kutcher, because I’m pretty sure the whole fashion industry is being punk’d.
December 22, 2010 at 6:30 pm
#51, that is who i thought this child was. in the still, it looks just like that one hellion of her’s that was the actress/model. might as well have been……
December 22, 2010 at 6:31 pm
She talks as if she swallows a reality show celebrity.
Anyway, like, never trust any designer with a half deflated balloon attached to the head.
December 22, 2010 at 6:38 pm
If you hate yourself but want to her more, go to her blog. Even the pictures alone make me angry.
December 22, 2010 at 6:44 pm
I’ve never been so proud of my 5 year old daughter who routinely selects fuschia and orange clothes but who can read, spell, and speak full paragraphs without sounding like an 80s valley girl.
December 22, 2010 at 6:50 pm
I watched the whole thing, but only because I feel I need to be punished.
December 22, 2010 at 6:58 pm
1. she grows up to be mortified by videos like this
-OR-
2. she’s already ruined for life
December 22, 2010 at 6:59 pm
Not only did she use up the word “like” for the rest of the English-speaking world, she has THE MOST ANNOYING VOICE I have ever heard. Except for the waste of space holding the microphone and asking her questions.
And she makes the Valley Girls on the Zappa album sound like Dame Judy Dench in comparison.
I mean rilly.
December 22, 2010 at 7:05 pm
Here… this article is starting to restore my faith in the future generation. Some 8-10 year olds who are not future wastes of space:
http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/12/kids-study-bees/
December 22, 2010 at 7:09 pm
So, if we completely ignore the fact that she is a massive bitch and has an annoing voice I still wouldn’t never buy any of that shit she labels as clothing. She clearly doesn’t understand basic design elements and principles. She also lacks basic sewing skills, I don’t even know why someone would actually pay money for half the crap she makes.
I feel sorry for these kids, you can tell they aren’t happy, I wouldn’t be happy either if I were wearing that purple thing.

December 22, 2010 at 7:10 pm
It looks just like it was designed by a 10 year old.
December 22, 2010 at 7:18 pm
She’s very arrogant in that video.
Back home in Romania, girls my age learned to sew and make clothes from 5 to 7, so I don’t find this too surprising. By the time I was ten I could make little sweaters for the kitty.
December 22, 2010 at 7:18 pm
She’s now ruined the Cassini space probe for me, too. Dammit.
December 22, 2010 at 7:22 pm
To think I wasted all that time in design school getting a degree in fashion when all I had to, like, do, was, like, take like three sewing lessons and throw a tantrum.
December 22, 2010 at 7:29 pm
@#43 Sleeves are like, totally hard. So she like, totally won’t do them. And she’s the designer! So you shut the *@$& up and buy her stuff online! NOW!
December 22, 2010 at 7:33 pm
Are we sure this isn’t some kind of subtle viral marketing for condoms or Planned Parenthood or something?
December 22, 2010 at 7:35 pm
This child is just like those girls that I wanted to smack around when I was in school…prissy, stuck-up little snots who think that their shit don’t stink.
I decided to check out some of her blog, and that just made my thoughts about her personality that much more definite. Just gotta love her “A Ride of “ew”" entry.
December 22, 2010 at 7:35 pm
My niece turned 11 not long ago. The last thing she made was a Christmas card, which involved glue and an excess of glitter. I am so, so glad her parents are raising her to be a little girl at this age and not an obnoxious faux adult.
December 22, 2010 at 7:36 pm
From her blog: “I sure hope one day people will be getting the chance to buy some of my “greatest hits,” just in case they missed it…”
Why, she has the ego of a woman three times her age!
December 22, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Like, she like totally, like knows how to sew like what any 10 year old like could totally sew. Like omg, I spilled like ketchup on my jeans, does that like make me a like designer too?
December 22, 2010 at 7:40 pm
I get it. She is the reincarnation of Zaphod Beeblebrox.
December 22, 2010 at 7:43 pm
I have no daughters so maybe I’m not a good judge of these things, but all her clothes look like they’re designed for failed kiddie beauty pageant winners who are going to grow up and star in scuzzy reality shows where they cheat on their husband with his best friend. Honestly, is there anyone out there who would let a 10-year-old girl wear a strapless miniskirt dress?
I predict that by the time she hits 20, she will have been married (and divorced) at least once (possibly twice), developed a drinking and/or drug problem, gone through rehab, and managed to spawn at least one helpless child who’s destined to end up as fucked-up as she is.

December 22, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Suddenly, I have a desire to tell people my son is a master chef at only 15 months old. He poured his apple juice into his Cheerios and garnished with a quarter of peanut butter toast. He’s a genius, I tell you, an absolute genius. I can’t say how it tasted, but he seemed to enjoy it. Even the cat was impressed.
December 22, 2010 at 8:03 pm
It looks like her brain ‘sploded. And her hat it ugly, too.
December 22, 2010 at 8:09 pm
I was hoping to be able to access her blog but it looks like the servers are flooded!
December 22, 2010 at 8:23 pm
From Cecilia’s bio: Cecilia was so moved by the story of a young woman who received a full scholarship to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, but who was homeless and did not have a sewing machine to practice on, Cecilia gave her her own.
Um, that’s nice kid, but… well, she’s HOMELESS. Where’s she going to plug it in, someone’s garage outlet? Also, if you gave her your sewing machine, why are you still sewing? It wasn’t really your current machine was it? It was that basic White machine Mom and Dad gave you when you were six. I guess there’s no room for sentimentality in your “couture mentality”.
December 22, 2010 at 8:26 pm
Wow- my best friends and I took not 3 but a whole summer worth of sewing classes when we were 7. I’ve sold stuff I’ve made, too. How come nobody told us that made us “fashion designers?” And kids who have sold stuff they’ve drawn at a school art show are clearly “fine artists,” too.
I was ready to commend a financially-blessed, spoiled child for actually wanting to learn about the work behind the “fashion” she wanted. The attitude about the teacher is horrible, though. So the teacher had constructive criticism about fabric choices and maybe actual information on matching colors, patterns, textures, and weights of fabrics. (Learn from your teacher, brat, she’s the teacher for a reason.) As evidenced by the simplicity of her “masterpieces,” this child’s terrible attitude has clearly cheated her out of the wealth of technical information her teacher could have shared.
December 22, 2010 at 8:29 pm
Is demand for her work really that high that it might take this girl 3 weeks to find the time to sew two strips of knit fabric into tubes, stitch them to each other, and finish the edges?
December 22, 2010 at 8:32 pm
Sorry for so many posts… but, is it me, or is most of her work just skirts sewn onto pre-made tank tops?
December 22, 2010 at 8:38 pm
It also looks like she takes racer back shirts and attaches a skirt part to it to make it into a “dress”, so she not only sews from scratch but upcycles! *sarcasm* Also, her skirts have no waistband or facing, it’s just an elastic sewn in there like pajama pants. And I think I saw two things that weren’t hemmed, I think one hem was finished off lazily with a serger (does she even have one?) or some other stitch and one was a raw edge!? This is such a disrespect to actual fashion designers. Taking three sewing classes where she probably didn’t even pay attention does not a fashion designer make. You need to take tons of classes for pattern drafting, advanced technical skills, couture methods, knowledge of textiles, etc. As a current student in sewing and fashion arts, I wish someone would go back in time and punch her mother in the stomach.
December 22, 2010 at 8:38 pm
Thank Bob the website died while I was perusing it. In all likelihood my ophthalmologist will never be able to rotate my eyeballs back into correct alignment. I have more to say, but the character limit will not allow it, so I’ll just say . . .
This child is the reason you should seriously consider flushing them down the toilet while their bones are still soft enough.
These parents should be flayed and spayed.
Anyone stupid enough to buy (or be coerced into buying) this shit is a bona fide candidate for a lobotomy.
Thank Bob again I’m able to knit so I don’t need to call a therapist for an emergency session.
December 22, 2010 at 8:38 pm
You people are just like, RUDE!
December 22, 2010 at 8:40 pm
@jerseycow6
Ha! You beat me to that observation! And yes, yes they are. The only quality sewing you’ll get is the tank top portion (unless she just uses cheap ass tanks from China). Another thing I’d like to add – can she even do blind hems? Oh god the unsightly hems on her “couture pieces”. And the zippers, invisible zippers anyone? Guess she shouldn’t have axed that sewing teacher! Coulda actually learned something there.
December 22, 2010 at 8:43 pm
Just… all of it. *shiver* No more, please. I can only imagine how she’ll be when she actually grows up. I think probably a total bitch. But worse, a bitch who talks like a valley girl.
December 22, 2010 at 8:45 pm
I actually feel very sorry for her.
December 22, 2010 at 8:49 pm
@espresso-romance:
Hmm… I wonder if all those Chinese kids who make the tank tops would be annoyed that we don’t call *them* fashion designers.
I feel like she read in one of her beloved fashion magazines that zippers are in this season, so she just quickly tacked some onto things she already made.
December 22, 2010 at 8:56 pm
@jerseycow6
Oh man, those exposed zippers that are non functional are the funniest things, the stitching in the product photos speaks for itself.
Her attempts at sewing other types of zippers (I think I saw one or two lurking that were sewn into the side of one of her dresses) are also hilarious.
December 22, 2010 at 8:59 pm
I’d love to see what a month in the sweatshop she gets her haute cunture from does to this little spoiled brat.
Another case of self-deluded parents believing their kid never had horrendous and ungodly green shit in their Huggies only a decade prior.
December 22, 2010 at 9:02 pm
What an insipid little wench. For $73 a piece, she better have gotten a serger on her 6th birthday as well.
“I really didn’t like my teacher, ‘cuz she was like, rude? Like she told me that some fabrics didn’t match when I thought they did?”
Dear, she was just trying to teach you what is visually appealing to sane people and non-clowns. I suppose she also had the audacity to suggest that more than one bedazzled piece per outfit was too much?
At first I thought maybe she was just nervous as hell at a big event full of celebs, which would explain why she repeated the questions in her answers…I watched another clip on youtube, then HK’s video again. I am pretty sure that at this point she has turned into a monster as a result of too much flattery at a young age.
December 22, 2010 at 9:06 pm
That thing on her head is almost as big as her ego.
December 22, 2010 at 9:15 pm
AHAHAHAHAHA. I’m so glad this twerp made it here. I watched one of her videos (possibly this one?) awhile back and my head almost exploded from the awful.
It’s one of those moments that made me glad my boyfriend is who he is. I can assure all of humanity that between the two of us, we will never raise children this douchey. We will both instill our future children with the virtues of trolling, snark, dry wit, and the real ability to do things for themselves (like properly sew).
I don’t intend on cutting my kids down when they make a good effort, but how difficult is it to gently steer your kids in the right direction? A polite “kiddo, I’m not sure if that is a good idea for these reasons. How do you think we could change this?” works wonders.
December 22, 2010 at 9:16 pm
I just gotta know…does that thing on the top of her head have a fascinator with a cat skull buried in it somewhere?
December 22, 2010 at 9:36 pm
But… but… the 10-year-olds in Bangladesh do it so much better, for so much less cheaper!
December 22, 2010 at 9:41 pm

#87, you are so right, and Valerie is NOT going to be happy about it!!
December 22, 2010 at 10:37 pm
Is it wrong, to like, be totally rude and like, f@cking punch her like, in the pie hole?
December 22, 2010 at 10:39 pm
I dressed like that when I was 10!
…Except I had better sense than to, like, wear it out of the, like, house.
Somewhere, CoCo Chanel is weaping.
December 22, 2010 at 10:41 pm
@drunkenathiest-I totally agree with you. Although I would probably throw in reruns of Daria and some PG Wodehouse.
I think the fault here probably lies in a good part with the parents. They are allowing, and perhaps encouraging, this behavior of hers.
December 22, 2010 at 10:44 pm
A part of me died while watching this video.
Thank you HK in advance for giving me nightmares of pink sequin baby prostitute dresses, half enflated yellow beach ball hair accessories and bad grammar.
Now where is the rest of my wine?
December 22, 2010 at 11:18 pm
I remember this girl from Willy Wonka… the one who is thrown out with the garbage as she deserves from being a spoiled brat.
Why are those celebrities fanning her rotten flame?

December 23, 2010 at 1:06 am
Oh, my god, shut the FUCK UP! Her shit isn’t tailored, isn’t pretty, it’s just a bunch of crap from the clearance section of JoAnns thrown together on a website! She doesn’t even know how to do anything but rectangle skirts, or any sort of fitting! Learn some form of how to properly make a garment before you go calling yourself a designer, kthnxby!
It’s little shitheads like this that make me hate the fashion world. I hope someone steals all of her designs, hacks her site, and generally causes her world to go to hell, because that’s what the REAL fashion industry is. I want to stuff a pair of Vivienne Westwood shoes up her ass, because that’s the end that’s obviously doing the thinking for her.
She’s one “fashion designer” that I hope DOES die of a drug overdose.
December 23, 2010 at 1:53 am
i cannot stand this spoiled child. so pompous, arrogant,and talentless.
just b/c you have a fashion designer for a parent, doesn’t mean you automatically deserve all of the fame.
is she wearing makeup?!
December 23, 2010 at 2:06 am
ok i dug a bit and found this on her stupid blog.
ps- still hate her…

I think you will all agree: I am defs a FASHIONISTA !!!! But even better than that is that I am just a normal 6th grader inspiring kids to follow your dreams!
I have been getting lots of notes from teachers and kids from all around America who read this article! All of them are saying that I have “inspired” them in someway or another!
One question many of you seem to have is: “Am I related to Oleg Cassini?” NO ! is the answer!
Now that that is clear, remember: just because we are kids doesn’t mean we have to wait until we are 20 to follow our dreams! Just go for it now!
xo ciao for now and remember: follow your dreams!!!!!
I dream that someday she will stop ending every sentence with an exclamation point. – HK
December 23, 2010 at 2:21 am
From the LA Times article: “And now, what started with a birthday gift of a sewing machine has blossomed into a fledgling fashion business with the help of manager Pilar DeMann, the woman who plotted the Kardashians’ path from C-level obscurity to branding juggernaut.”
So that’s the explanation. Also, I’m going to hazard a guess that her parents are complete and utter assholes. Poor kid. Best-case scenario, she grows up to be completely embarrassed and traumatized by this. Worst-case, she never realizes it was wrong for adults to market her 10-year-old craft projects as “couture.”
December 23, 2010 at 2:24 am
jesus, people actually talk like that? she sounds like a cross between the teenagers and gay men that are on tv. and judging by that thing on her head, lady gaga is her only client…
December 23, 2010 at 2:25 am
Other than the fact that my first roommate in college didn’t even so much as touch a sewing machine at that age, I think they’re probably a lot alike. This means that I can gaze into my crystal ball and tell you what the future has in store for this snotty little brat.
Because this “fashion designer” is a complete bimbo with no talent, she won’t get into a proper fashion design school. Instead, she will attend a state university and start off majoring in fashion design. She will then change majors after her first semester, because she can’t handle the drawing/design class that all art, architecture, and fashion design majors are required to take. Her new major will be either English or Elementary Education. She will then drop out after a few more semesters.
December 23, 2010 at 2:29 am
did anyone notice the wings in the back of her dress? WTF is up with THAT?
December 23, 2010 at 2:47 am
I was like kinda upset with Killer when I read that Cecilia was like giving part of her proceeds to the Children’s Hospital. But like, I’m a bleeding heart kinda person. Then like, I thought I should watch the video.
Yikes …
Like … go get her, Killer!
December 23, 2010 at 2:49 am
I just sat through this entire nauseating festering turd of a video…
*expects applause*
How the hell has this kid lived so long…?
December 23, 2010 at 4:29 am
She really is a piece of art, that one… I have no problems with her. Apparently a quite normal little girl playing dress-up and fashion model and beauty queen, like so many others at her age. I did. I just think her designs are boring. I wanted to wear the lovely 50′s and 60′s style dresses with puff sleeves and fitted bodice and the French dresses. I doubt she would even be able to sew anything like that.
Nevertheless, it’s great for kids to be able to express their creativity and “be taken seriously”… even though I think her mother looks at her and sees dollar signs. I suppose that’s ok now, but in 10 years she better learn a LOT more about fashion and design. Good luck to her.
“she has had a passion for fashion since she was a baby.” Yeah, sure… when she was three weeks old she started crying because her ditsy mother tried to force her to wear a boring romper, while she wanted to wear plaid dress with sequins and feathers.
December 23, 2010 at 4:46 am
It takes 3 weeks to ship from a third world country where other ten year olds make them for $0.08 an hour.
December 23, 2010 at 5:39 am
“I love pumpkins because there are no two alike! Instead of the perfectly round ones, I love the more “avant garde” shaped ones!”
It looks like the clothes I used to make for my Barbies. I wasn’t very good at sewing so more often than not they were stapled together…
December 23, 2010 at 5:56 am
She has her own website and is getting tons of attention because her parents have money and understand how to promote her. And it is giving her a false sense of her own abilities.
I wonder how many other 11 year olds around the world have far better skills than her and will never be heard of, because they lack money.
December 23, 2010 at 6:12 am
No, sticksandtunes: She won’t go to design school because she won’t think she needs to. She had her own line when she was 10–what could they possibly teach her?
I made a flapper dress out of scrap fabric when I was 10. It was all raw edges and two-inch stitches. It still looked better than this! At least I had sense enough to go with basic black!
December 23, 2010 at 6:47 am
Looks like Veruca Salt had her golden egg scrambled.
December 23, 2010 at 7:39 am
Everything on her site is “10 years old!!! Blah blah ugly shit, but she’s only 10!!!” The second someone finds a 9 year old and gets them a marketing team, her whole advertising campaign is dead.
December 23, 2010 at 7:56 am
She should have listened to her teacher
December 23, 2010 at 8:40 am
OMG like wait until she hits puberty and finds Etsy.
THOSE CLOTH MENSTRUAL PADS LIKE WILL SO TOTALLY HAVE SEQUINS OR ELSE.
Though…gotta admit, I’ll be watching this trainwreck to see what happens when she discovers hallucinogens.
December 23, 2010 at 8:42 am
Wow, it takes her three weeks to sew together a tube, a rectangle, and 2 triangles…badly?
December 23, 2010 at 8:50 am
#116 sticksandtunes:
I dunno, nothing stopped Paris Hilton from becoming the world’s most famous celebrity…
Seriously, are we sure this isn’t an act? Let’s see, when I was 10 I wanted to wear pink and ruffles and dresses all the damn time. My younger sister and I used to come up with the most ridiculous getups from our dress-up gear. If only my talent had been realized!! I could tack a tutu onto a bathing suit, add 6 strings of beads and 8 bangles, top it all off with a plastic glittery crown and charge $5,000 for it. “It’s a VINTAGE Fiammetta Flammiferous original!”

Proof that mandatory sterilization for idiots is a great idea!!!!!
December 23, 2010 at 9:31 am
I just don’t know what to do with all the vomit. I must have been in a trance, but at 0:22 of the vid I suddenly realized I had put a shotgun barrel in my own mouth- whose shotgun it was I’ll never know; I don’t even own one. But I’m keeping it just in case she makes a sequel.
December 23, 2010 at 9:34 am
I’d like to thank Helen Killer for posting this, because now I don’t feel so terrible that I was rendered sterile by the treatments I received for a serious illness a couple of years ago. I’m actually grateful now…thank the Gods there’s zero chance of anything like Celia ever coming into the world as the result of my sperm.
December 23, 2010 at 9:35 am
Also, if I wasn’t gay already, I’d be forever gay-itized after seeing this – again, just so I would never, ever, ever be in danger of creating something resembling this demon spawn.
December 23, 2010 at 10:09 am
She’s a fabulous gay man stuck in a pre-pubescent girl’s body. No, really – watch the video again and pretend it’s Carson Kressley talking. Handflips and all. Her stuff is still crap, though.
December 23, 2010 at 11:50 am
I could only watch about 20 seconds of that video before I experienced a deep seated urge to pinch that child’s head off.
Does that make me a bad person?
December 23, 2010 at 12:48 pm
Sticksandtunes #116: Please don’t insinuate the inferiority or mediocrity of English majors by suggesting that this horrid brat would become one. Plus, if she’s interested in fame and fortune she would choose a field that generally does not require graduate level work(It’s just not glamorous).
December 23, 2010 at 12:52 pm
I taught 5th grade for several years and it wasn’t that unusual for girls her age to imitate what (to a 10-year-old’s ear) sounds grown up and “sophisticated”–i.e. like a bad Aaron Spelling drama. Mostly we’d just cringe and let the phase pass. What bothers me is that she’s getting all sorts of reinforcement, so it will probably stick. That’s what makes me the angriest (well, that and the wavy seams).
December 23, 2010 at 1:09 pm
Wow. If only I had known when I was ten that I could sell my heinous, “unique” sewing creations for vast gobs of money. I wonder if that child even knows what bias is, how to make slotted or flat-felled seams, hell, even how to put a zipper on properly. (And no, I don’t mean haphazardly gluing one to the front of a hideous tank dress.) I’m 19, I’ve been sewing since I was five (beat her by a year!), and I still won’t sew stuff for others-because I recognize that my skills aren’t yet at the level where I can reasonably charge others for my work. Then again, my parents have always been supportive but recognized that the sun does not, in fact, shine out of my ass-something the Cassinis have yet to figure out. Just like Chris Paolini and Eragon, there’s a reason there aren’t many very young (artists/writers/fashion designers) out there; it’s because, as amply evidenced by Celia’s identical, bland, and boring “designs”, work done that young SUCKS.
December 23, 2010 at 1:59 pm
Pffft… Big whoop. China’s loaded with 8-year-old fashion designers.
December 23, 2010 at 1:59 pm
Jesus. Like a horrible car wreck, or rotten.com, I find myself coming back to this over and over, even though I throw up a little bit in my mouth each time. Here’s a quote from her website:
“Cecilia wants to help to make a difference by giving back to charity to help children or anybody to be able to follow their dreams. For example, Cecilia was so moved by the story of a young woman who received a full scholarship to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, but who was homeless and did not have a sewing machine to practice on, Cecilia gave her her own.”
Wow Celia, how big of you to give that homeless woman your sewing machine so she can practice. Public parks have power outlets, right? As do gas station bathrooms? I hope so, because I’m not sure where else a homeless woman can plug in a sewing machine.
December 23, 2010 at 2:35 pm
After watching this video…I now know why some animals eat their young.
December 23, 2010 at 2:43 pm
I usually love this site, but personally, I can’t make an exception in my “No posting verbally abusive comments about ten year-olds” policy.
And I don’t think you should. But to be fair, I’m also not posting verbally abusive comments about a ten year old. I’m saving all my abuse for her parents. – HK
December 23, 2010 at 3:15 pm
So… now that her server is overloaded, is HK going to get furious emails accusing us of deflamatory remarks and “OMG YOU RUINED MY LIFE!!” Will there be threats of a lawsuit?

When I read this book, I didn’t really get it. I’m a little detached from teen/youth culture so I thought they were blowing everything out of proportion.
After seeing this video and her website…I’ve changed my mind.
December 23, 2010 at 3:47 pm
My previous comment was mostly in response to the commenters who suggested gruesome death as an appropriate punishment.
December 23, 2010 at 4:00 pm
your dream being crushed …. PRICELESS
December 23, 2010 at 4:31 pm
This reminds me of a time when I saw a video… of an elephant handed a paint brush… he smeared it with paint and plopped it on a secured blank canvas. It was a mushy piece of rainbow crap, but yet it was called art.
I feel the same way now.
December 23, 2010 at 5:05 pm
I swear to gawd, it’s the other parents in this world that make my job harder. WTF can her parents be thinking??? She sounds like a complete airhead. WHY would you want your beautiful little girl dressed like a tart and talking like a Valley Girl??? I weep for my kids’ generation – they’re so dumbed down it’s disturbing.
December 23, 2010 at 5:51 pm
Secrets to success: 1. Kardashian makeover, check. 2. Giant ego, check. 3. Stage parents, check. Yup I think she’s good to go.
December 23, 2010 at 6:32 pm
Oooooh where do I begin? SHAME on this girl’s parents for A: Clearly raising the world’s most appalling horrible spoiled little brat in the history of the world, and B: Capitalizing off of said spoiled brat. This is exactly the kind of kid who will end up messed up on drugs and having a nervous breakdown at age 18 when she finally gets a taste of the real world, and it knocks her on her ass. She never had a chance. While I have been laughing at everyone’s comments, which are both hysterically funny and accurate, I acually feel bad for this little girl.
December 23, 2010 at 7:01 pm
You know, at first, I was going to say how making fun of a child was just too mean, regardless of the tackiness of the outfits.
THEN I heard her speak… If you can even call it that.
December 23, 2010 at 7:16 pm
The little darling is, like, provocative?
Some of the comments are too violent for my tastes, though.
December 23, 2010 at 7:38 pm
Hasn’t it occurred to anyone else that she may not actually be that snotty, but behaved that way while being interviewed at a big fancy event because she thought she was being “glamorous” or something? For all we know, she might have been mortified when she saw this video and realized how she came across.
Even if not, she IS just a child. I’m sure many of us were vain about our talents, intelligence, looks, or whatever at that age, especially if our parents constantly reinforced that.
Also, I think some of her designs ARE pretty good–FOR A 10-YEAR-OLD. Do many (maybe most; I didn’t look at them all) suck? Yes. Does she deserve her own line? No. Is any of her stuff worth 1/4 of what she’s charging? Probably not. But I think she does show some promise, and it would be a shame if, indeed, she is too arrogant to keep improving.
Go ahead, thumb me down for not joining the “KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!1!!11!1oneone” brigade.
December 23, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Oh yes, the commenter above me brought up something I forgot to mention: I have no objection to making fun of a kid who deserves it, but posts wishing her serious harm or death are going a bit far.
December 23, 2010 at 8:02 pm
Jesus Christ, it’s like Antoine Dodson speaking through an evil Kewpie doll.
December 23, 2010 at 9:08 pm
serious child abuse. comments on you tube are worse – some wished her sexual violence. I mean, not only did her parents hire a publicist, they hired KARDASHIAN’S publicist, as tasteless you’d espect from people who can’t tell a craft project from marketable design. All I can say is…. if I had all my embarrassing kid moments published for eternity on the web….lord help her.
December 23, 2010 at 9:43 pm
Wow. I had a friend on FB defend her. I stated my views. This *child* should just be a kid… her parents hire a tasteless publicist, force the kid into the spotlight with crappy product. She’s rude, obnoxious, and my friend is defending her. I don’t expect her to be perfect. She has morons around her telling her she IS perfect and she believes it. She needs to learn patience and skills. REAL sewing skills. Either that or just draw the designs, or make one mock up, and let professionals do the sewing. Then maybe they’d be worth closer to what she’s asking. It’s sloppy sewing, and she’s selling this crap? The stupidity of society really scares me.
December 23, 2010 at 10:02 pm
Just this evening I was thinking that my children were horribly spoiled brats and I had failed as a parent.
Then I watched this…..

December 24, 2010 at 5:30 am
It is SICKENING how many of you are saying such awful things about a little girl. Criticizing and mocking a ten-year-old, innocent child for following her dream, just because her ART and way of speaking doesn’t fit in with your viewpoints? WOW, that is low…
…
I am just joking. Let’s hit her with a brick. Seriously.
Immediately.
December 24, 2010 at 6:07 am
Just read some (catvomit)of her blog. This is the most self indulgent child I’ve ever heard of. Her clothes are shit. She’s not making asymmetrical hemlines as a design choice, she just doesn’t know how to make straight ones. And IRONING the fabric is like, so over.
I’m glad she’s only 10. Because by the time the novelty of the 10 year old designer wears off, she’ll just be a hacky “hey, I used to be newsworthy! look at me!” former child star and we’ll never hear about her again until she winds up sitting on a couch telling Dr. Drew about the first time she and Miley Cyrus injected crystal meth into their eyeballs.
December 24, 2010 at 10:31 am
I read some of her blog as well. I have to say, it reads as though it was written by an adult trying to sound like a 10 year old. I don’t think she has anything to do with the blog. I think it’s more the parents. See my above comment #153.

December 24, 2010 at 8:47 pm
Oh Wonderful… yet another over-indulged once SWEET Lil Child whose parents managed to inbibe with a sick & twisted case of premature-adulthood PLUS an unrealistic, dangerously unhealthy smack of exaggerated self-importance.
Couldn’t she just have one of those Life-size Barbie Dolls for Xmas, Santa, to subject her wack-hackery “designs” upon, like all the other (normal) little 10yr olds?
December 24, 2010 at 11:41 pm
I’d suggest her parents spend some money on manners lessons and how to act in public when speaking to adults. But I assume they also probably talk to “the help” the same way. Sigh. I guess this is what became of kids’ lemonade stands..they hock their buisnesses on the internet now for much more than a quarter.
December 25, 2010 at 12:23 pm
*cries*
December 25, 2010 at 12:26 pm
How the fuck is society endorsing this? Let me know when humility, intelligence, and talent come back in style, please.
December 25, 2010 at 11:22 pm
The reason she’s arrogant and egotistical is because her parents have taught her that she’s the best, smartest, most talented girl in the world and she can do no wrong. That’s why so many kids today are rude, spoiled, uncaring little brats – their parents tell them that they’re the best when they’re really no better than anyone else.
December 26, 2010 at 1:37 pm
Sigh igh igh… Mummy’s girl through and through
I feel sorry for her. It’s not so much about the ‘designs’ (terrible but that’s more or less what a 10 yo kid would come up with). The quality of the garnments are appalling and the parents should be tarred and feathered for selling this shit hundreds of dollars and bullshitting a kid of that age by obviously telling her she’s a genius.
December 26, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Someone should like, totally introduce her to another pattern?
December 26, 2010 at 4:29 pm
Is this actually real? I’ve never seen a real life person, child or not, actually TALK like that! The mannerisms, the snobbish attitude…she’s a Valley Girl Veruca Salt! I got through about a minute of it. Can I have chocolate now?
December 26, 2010 at 7:43 pm
Jesus F****** Christ, are you KIDDIMG me? Please feel free to mock this pretentious little twit. I’m going to go poke my ears out with q-tips.
December 27, 2010 at 9:41 am
#156 has got it exactly right, I think. In the video, she’s just copying the way she hears her idols speak on TV, something any 10 year old would do. 10 year olds haven’t developed the cognitive nor social skills necessary to operate in the public eye like this. She’s a completely normal 10 year old, but without the restraint we typically refer to as “parenting.”
December 27, 2010 at 9:49 am
WHO is egging this kid on?
I wonder what Karl Lagerfeld had to say about this…My guess is nothing, he was too busy choking himself with his own tie.
December 28, 2010 at 9:05 am
i think the parents have an ulterior motive. they’re helping her to financial independence so she can move out of home…
December 28, 2010 at 1:03 pm
oh, that’s gonna be embarrassing 10 years from now. At least I hope it will.
December 28, 2010 at 11:38 pm
I noticed this on her site: “Today, at ten years old Cecilia, is “the youngest fashion designer in the country – and maybe even in the world.”
Yeah, I’m pretty damn sure someone else beat her in India.
December 29, 2010 at 12:41 pm
Haven’t I seen her models on PeopleOfWalmart.com?
The best part is that this kid has a blog. With no comment box.
December 30, 2010 at 9:51 pm
Dear Regretsy: I got an account just to comment on this chick.
Anyway. When I was her age I was sewing drawstring pajama pants which would have made me look like Rembrandt when compared to her “Elephant with a paint brush” dresses. WT EFF! I’m beginning to think that we should start sterilizing people. I do not want any child of mine in the vicinity of this brainless, over-indulged child.
January 1, 2011 at 6:19 am
“At age 5, she cut up her older sister’s Betsey Johnson dress when no one was looking, cinched it with ponytail holders, folded up the hem and taped it, customizing the design to her taste.”
WHAT!?
from http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/alltherage/2010/04/fashion-diary-fifthgrade-fashion-designer-cecilia-cassini.html
January 3, 2011 at 12:37 pm
She will live off her parents’ teet until she marries a stock analyst at 24. She will resent everything her parents did for her, and at the same time resent them for everything they did not do.
She’ll spend the rest of her life thinking that the answer to success in life is hiring the right publicist, not working hard or developing talent with discipline, and sadly, unless our culture shifts, she’ll be right.
Meanwhile, she’s going around to schools telling our normal kids to “follow their dreams.” She’s probably not mentioning the loads of money her parents are actually having to spend to make these “dreams” (of hers or theirs?) possible.
January 8, 2011 at 12:35 am
First off I completely agree with those who say this video is difficult to watch, about half way through I checked the time and cringed when i saw how much was left…
On another note, I’d love to slap some sense into this child. My three year old has a larger vocabulary and she sounds as if she’s TRYING (wayyyyyyyy to hard, I may add) to speak like “fancy-pants designer” stereotype!
January 13, 2011 at 1:00 pm
i totally agree patty she completely ruined my oxycodone and vodka buzz and got me thinking to the future of our world turning into this which made me down another 2 bottles of vodka just to drown out her annoying a** voice. I mean wouldn’t u smack ur kid upside the head if u hear her sounding like that!? which makes me think her mother must sound like a brainless twit as well
January 13, 2011 at 6:03 pm
The fact this child train-wreck-in-motion is making “headlines” just proves how shit the fashion industry is.
January 14, 2011 at 6:46 pm

The only thing that pisses me off about this is one fact that was already mentioned: If it wasn’t for her having parents and connections, she wouldn’t be famous at all.
What pisses me off is when useless little shits like this become famous and well to-do just because of their parents. People with ten times more talent (and personality for that matter), have to struggle just to make a living, and shits like this get handed hundreds of dollars for pieces of crap. There is something seriously wrong with our society. Or, several things really.
March 4, 2011 at 12:27 pm
Also, OH SHIT! I just read in the article linked by #186, and her manager is the same as for the CARDASHIAN BITCHES?!?!?!?! THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING! No, seriously, it really does explain everything. Have you ever had to sit in a room with an episode of the Cardashians playing because your college roommate likes the show? It makes your brain hurt so much. Kind of like MTV these days.

June 19, 2011 at 3:30 pm
I actually went to the site. You can get “your daughter” a “Cecilia custom fitting dress”, where you can get a picture of her and Cecilia together and possibly model the dress in a photo shoot.
Fuck my daughter, I wish I had $500 to spare so I could do this for myself!
July 7, 2011 at 8:53 am
In about two months, we shall see if her page STILL has the “age 10″ in the top corner. I mean, I havent been able to find her birth day, but the youtube video is from August. How many of you are betting it wont change?
August 23, 2011 at 9:13 pm
The sad thing is, some of her stuff is still better than a few of the articles of “clothing” made by adults which were featured on Regretsy.:) Also, though the girl seems VERY full of herself and airheaded, I think a lot of little girls in her situation (semi-fame at age 10) would act similarly. Also, according to her website, she donated a sewing machine to a homeless person who got a scholarship to a fashion school, so her heart is not a black hole at least (although her ego, as others have said, is a different story.) I really wanna know how this girl turns out. Will her designs improve? Will she listen to advice? Will she become a drug-addled party girl who feels entitled to everything? (Still, she’ll be a step above Paris Hilton, since she did SOMETHING, albeit with questionable taste)
August 23, 2011 at 9:13 pm
That said, yeah, her designs suck. Hard. (although the dress she was wearing wasn’t bad. I think a lot of little girls might like her clothing, only to look back in shame at the pictures as teens.)
