Hey, fellow Emily the Strange fans! After being announced at New York Comic Con back in April, it looks like Emily’s line of hair dyes and other beauty products are ready to come out. Already available at retailers, the dyes, extensions, and make-up will be making a more high-profile debut at the MAGIC Fashion and Apparel Tradeshow in Vegas later this month. Dude, I so wish I could be there! I’d gladly let a member of the Manic Panic team make me over. Yes, I may be 25 years old, but I still love Emily and hair dye, so this is kind of a no-brainer for me. Hit the jump for the full press release.
