Hmmm...ok, but did you read the rest of that article? The "expert" then goes on to say that men should not wear cologne!!! *gasps in horror* Are you going to listen to HER??

I think the only thing worse than having a celeb perfume is having an Ed Hardy perfume.

And yet, some of us still have successful relationships....

Poor Dave may have made a terrible mistake. The reason why Britney was in the bog is because it was a gift ("oh, I knew you liked perfume, so I got you this!"). She uses as a room spray. The good stuff is kept cool and dark in a mini fridge, safe from prying eyes

Don't know, but if the guy is willing to pass up a "relationship" over some perfume that may or may not reflect the girl's taste, he might have much deeper issues than her.
Really?! A young woman that ownes Britney Spears's perfume needs psychologic help? Wow...He must live in a very sane world.

P.S. As for the girl, she might need some help with choosing men.:P

Absurd. I suppose a vintage bottle of Cher Uninhibited or Deneuve would count too? And cologne for men, didn't say celeb, is a "run from"? And as you walk down Nassau Street anyone wearing a Princeton T-shirt is immediately suspect? The author is a ditz.

The Guardian's "Ask Hadley" column is satirical.

This is hilarious! It's OK to have a celebuscent or two! I admit I have some...

And cologne is something I would love to see in a man's bathroom. Good grooming IS attractive to me.

So witty! [And did you see the next question, about big hair in the US?]

She's joking, of course.

Truth be told?...and from what I've seen on YouTube 'fume videos?...almost *every*body, even those I'd label discriminating "purfumistas," has a bottle of Fantasy.
They call it their "guilty pleasure."
yes, myself included. mine sits in it's box, I have never worn it, and may never.
I saw it on sale at TJ Maxx one day and I became bewitched by that shiny pink bottle and I handed over the $20.

What was I hoping?...that I'd become akin to the hip-swaying, bodily-blooming, semi-unrefined yet provocative woman-child that "JT" once longed for?
well sure, maybe. then again, denial is not my strong suit.

nah, it was the pink bottle and the groovy, further-colorful design graphics of the box. The (perhaps) adolescent attraction could not be avoided.




I've progressed.

...the name of Kristen Stewart's perfume again, please?

Wow! Hilarious!!! I am personally leery of anyone in possession of the mentioned fragrances and fashion items, as well. Except, of course, cologne for men (very attractive to me), and t-shirts with writing. C'mon... Who doesn't have a few of these? My personal favorite is my husband's. It reads: "Slackers UNITE! Tomorrow."
