    At least Uma looks more comfortable in this spot than she did in the print ad.

      I think I’m the only one that didn’t hate that print ad.

    I don’t know about the fragrance, but I’m impressed by the lipstick that turned Uma into Brittany Murphy.

      So true — for a minute, I wasn’t even sure the person in the mirror was her!

        I almost never recognize her when she is all dolled up.
        I hardly recognize anybody ever but that’s another story.

      I thought she looked more like a blond Tina Fey!

    I love Uma. Fun ad. Now if her agent could only land her a great role soon.

      She’s going to be in the upcoming Percy Jackson movie…I know this because my son is a huge fan of the book series.

          HA, because you’re too old 🙂

          Series of books about the half-breed children of Greek gods & humans & their adventures at “Half-Blood Camp”, which I believe is somewhere in NY. I have not read them.

    I LOVE Uma. I hope she gets many more movie roles.

    I went to high school with her and it’s so weird to see her all dolled up. In HS she was a an awkward, gawky, shy, not very popular girl. I think it’s always these types who become models and actresses.

    I think the ad is kinda cute.

      It is kinda cute…but the bar is getting very high on fun perfume commercials!

    Isn’t rubbing your perfumed wrists together something that breaks up the scent ?

      No, it just makes the top notes evaporate more quickly.

    Yee gad! I didn’t know Uma’s “demon” side was 15 years older than her “ange”. I agree, though, cute concept. I hope this sex-lite commercial trend will catch on.
