Vanilla Star Jeans has scored Nastia Liukin as the star of its back-to-school campaign for tweens. (Getting a little late for back-to-school ads, doncha think?) With their slogan "Smart girls rock," you might think they’d choose someone known for … oh, I dunno, being smart? But apparently the Vanilla Star definition of intelligence means having the "ambition" to "live the dream." It’s one of the most delightfully vague girl-power statements I’ve heard in ages, and I have no doubt that tweens adore it.
