Hollywood star Tara Reid is apparently concentrating more on fashion design than her acting career–she just launched a rather flirty collection of swimsuits and casual wear called Mantra.

Mantra, which debuted at the Magic Marketplace in Las Vegas on Monday, features T-shirts, bikinis, ponchos and hoodies decorated with trinkets, charms and beads in eight bright colors that are meant to inspire emotions.

“I feel like I’m in a really great place in my life, and I love what I’m doing,” said the 32-year-old star of My Boss’s Daughter. “I love acting but I can’t hire myself. If this works, then we’re in business. If not, I tried.

“It’s about putting into the universe what you want in life: Red means love, pink is friendship, green is lucky, black is protection. You’re gonna have a story when you wear this bikini or when you put this dress on: You’ll either get love or meet a new friend or you might meet a guy.”

Well, if the naughty messages or the designs are anything to go by, you’ll likely have more than just a story when you wear them — the swimsuits carry “Catch Me If You Can” and “Single and Ready to Mingle” and her T-shirts have cut-out backs strung with hand-made chains.

While the items — priced between $65 to $180 — are expected to hit major department stores early 2009, Reid’s website mantrabytarareid.com just says ‘Coming soon.’
