By: Kelly Ahern, guest blogger

Sofia Vergara is best known for heating up the set of ABC’s Modern Family, but rumor has it; the TV seductress now has her sights set on commercial clothing racks.

The 38-year-old sizzling celeb is has decided to bring her bodacious style to the masses with an affordable and easily wearable collection that will be available at K-Mart stores.

When you think of Jessica Simpson, what comes to mind? Daisy Duke, Nick Lachey or the controversial –yet hysterical– tuna versus chicken comment, perhaps? Needless to say she hasn’t always been treated with the utmost respect; her reputation, lifestyle and image has consistently been mocked.
