Celebrity perfume quote of the day

Posted by Robin on 1 July 2007 13 Comments

It's a great thing to do because the profit margins are just so big. I'm hoping it will be released some time next January.

    I wonder if the name will be equally direct: ' Big Bucks for Junk Juice', or 'Eau d'Avarice'? At least she's not pretending she cares in the slightest what it smells like.

    She might want to scratch marketing off of her list of potential future career paths. 🙂

    i've just found myself in that peculiar situation where you feel shame vicariously for someone else…realize you are closing your eyes and clasping part of your face with your hand in shame while noone else is in the room with you and feel a little looney yourself. …What do you mean it's just me? 😛 Seriously though… why isn't there someone on her payroll whose sole role is to keep her from opening that mouth? GAH!

    She apparently has a lingerie line that does quite well — I had never heard of her though!

    Ah well, doubt it will hurt her sales!

    She's been 'famous' in the UK for ages, ie that strange kind of fame where you're not quite sure what they're famous for. She was apparently a model (never heard of her as that), and had some romances with various 'celebrities', and was in Celebrity Big Brother. It's a kind of living hell, isn't it? I noticed Wikipedia says her (fake) breasts are insured for £50,000. Against what? Sudden catastrophic decompression on a plane? I mean, insuring your legs (a la Betty Grable) is one thing, but how do you break a breast?

    she was a model in the glamour vein – mainly men's mag stuff like FHM/Maxim's..etc. To me, she seemed a bit has-been even when she was probably at the peak of being 'famous' in the UK (2000-ish). Rumour is she's a lot older than she claims (I hear she claims late 20's – yeah, whatever – she's more like early 30's at least) and has been in the papers for sort of desperate grabs at a bit more fame, like I think she had an affair with a married cricketer around the time England won the cricket world cup and then I saw a blurb where she was briefly engaged to some US heir that was way younger than her. Oh, and then there was that DUI. I'm really surprised she's got a fragrance deal – I got the feeling her target market was late 20's-30's males, and never women – it's not as if she's popular with the early 20's UK females, to be sure! And this scent has got to be pitched at the UK market – I don't think she's known at all in the US in spite of being American. But then, the UK quasi-celeb scent industry has marketed scent by Calum Best, a f-grade celeb if there ever was one (famous for: sleeping with Lindsay Lohan and having a talented but tragically alcoholic footballer father), so maybe it's not so surprising.

    Like Paris Hilton, from the sound of it — she was famous for no apparent reason other than being rich long before she started her own various product businesses.

    Repeating what I said below — sounds just like Paris Hilton! Every country needs one 🙂
