So, I’m filing this under a case of when goodwill goes horribly, horribly wrong: Toni Braxton agreed to wear a dress designed for Campbell’s Soup to the Women’s Day Heart Truth Red Dress awards, which kicks off American Heart Month. Braxton, herself a survivor of heart disease, wore the design chosen by the public out of three created by Lisa Perry.

That’s right: “Designed for Campbell’s Soup.” “Chosen by the public.” Are you scared yet?

So many questions …

» Was designer Lisa Perry just watching the episode of “Project Runway” where they had to make dresses out of Hershey’s candy items?

» Did she cry when she saw what she had agreed to wear in public?

» What’s with the target, and why is there green involved? It looks like a sticker someone tacked on at the last minute.

» Shouldn’t they be targeting her heart?

» Will I ever be able to say the words “Toni Braxton” without adding in the whispered “Darkchild!” from the intro to “He Wasn’t Man Enough”? (”Darkchild! Toni BRAX-ton!”)

Anyway, if you go to the Campbells AdDRESS Your Heart page and click on the sketch of the dress, the soup company will donate another dollar to theheart association’s Go Red For Women movement.
