Trina will launch a new clothing line, Diamond Princess Wear. Launching in the fall, the clothing line will have a variety of styles, from casual wear to "glammed up night attire." "$1,000 for a shirt – everybody can’t afford that," Trina told AllHipHop.com "It’s going to be popular because everybody can rock it. Whether you are going on a dinner date, in a club, its versatile." Trina said that she designed most of the clothing, but also had input on clothes from other New York based designers. "It’s fire, it’s blazing to me. I made it very spicy," she said. While her latest album Diamond Princess hits stores August 27th, Trina said that she is setting her sights beyond rapping. "I get like various movie offers," she revealed. "I take time to look it over. I want to make sure the movie I land and I start filming is something that’s not stereotypical." Trina aspires to have her acting endeavors taken as serious as her music career. She seemed to agree with Samuel L. Jackson, who doesn’t believe rappers should be given prominent roles because of their celebrity status. "I don’t want somebody to give me a movie because ‘she is the celebrity/ hip-hop rap chick,’" she said matter of emphatically. "If I can do a movie with Ice Cube, I can do a movie for Tom Cruise. I want to be able to do both."
