You have to give NeNe Leakes credit: the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ spitfire is capitalizing on her opportunities to the max! And who wouldn’t, in her situation? NeNe is set to launch her own fashion line with Beanstalk for a line of “fashion-forward, affordable apparel and accessories.” A Beanstalk rep said:

“While the fame of reality television characters is often short-lived and fleeting, NeNeLeakes has displayed versatility that has enabled her to transition from being a Real Housewives personality to a featured television star on Glee. NeNe’s mult-faceted personality and aspirational style will translate well into products that will emotionally connect with her fans.”

NeNe’s manager added:

“Her no-nonsense demeanor and entrepreneurial spirit has allowed her to amass a loyal fan base that shares her ambition. Through the launch of authentic and compelling consumer products, NeNe will have the ability to enhance the connection she maintains with fans and extend beyond her existing entertainment platforms.”

I’ll be keeping an eye out just to see what’s in NeNe’s collection. Go NeNe! Are you interested?
