New York, July 25, 2006 – “I’m really hardly an athletic type of girl. My idea of aerobics is to, like, walk the dog, and go for a slice”, Scarlett Johansson said at the party to celebrate her new collection of sports-inspired clothing called Scarlett “Hearts” Reebok. Johansson admitted that she does yoga: “I really like to stretch out and, you know, make those strange chanting noises”.

The actress said that she’d been skeptical about celebrity apparel lines, and would be designing every aspect of the collection. Her inspiration was what she called “glamorous exercise” from the late 1970s, “a time when women were still exercising in false eyelashes”.

Johansson exuded confidence at the press conference, and claims to not be nervous about whether consumers will embrace the line, in stores in Spring 2007. “What do I have to be nervous about?”, she replied to our question.

The party was strictly 21st century glamour, in a skylighted, concrete-floored penthouse loft overlooking the Hudson River. The fashion-industry crowd was more interested in the drinks than the food, but Scarlett enthusiastically scarfed down two cupcakes – one chocolate and one strawberry – before leaving the party.
