    I remember Jessica Simpsons “Dessert” line had a “belly button potiion” rollerball, so I guess Liv isn’t the only one.

        Easily forgettable, I’m sure.

    I remember when the Jessica Simpson belly button frag came out, and I was (and still am) not sure exactly how I felt about it. It was certainly a strange concept. But I never tried anything from the Dessert line and apparently didn’t miss much.

    Liv should invest in some matching body lotion for her feet. It’d accomplish the same thing without wasting perfume on her feet. Though both options seem like they’d be a bit slippery and only make her shoes and the floor feel like the perfume is truly theirs.

      The feet part was actually even weirder than the belly button part.

    More TMI: I never spray/dab perfume on any body parts that may err… emm… leave a taste… (okay, slinking away from this post)…

      alltheprettythings, I’ve had the same problems with some of the lotions I use. I have it on good authority that TBS’s Cranberry and the Mixed Emotions that smells like a brownie don’t taste nearly as good as they smell… I noted the same thing when I forgot I was lotioned up and put my fingers against my lips, then licked my lips.

      Not that people should run around tasting lotions, but I wish I knew the ingredient that made these two so bitter. I love the fragrance, but only wear them when I’m not going to be snuggled or nuzzled. And I have to wash them off my hands after I apply them, which is counterproductive where lotion’s concerned. 😉

    If she wears solid perfume in her belly button, she could go weeks without having to reapply it.

    I wear fragrance first and foremost for my own enjoyment, and hence apply it to locations easily accessible to my own nose. Maybe Liv Tyler’s just really flexible.

      Could be! I’m getting too stiff & creaky for that kind of stuff. 😀

        Don’t worry, maybe Liv will release a celebrity workout video: “Yoga for people who want to be able to sniff the perfume they just put in their belly button”…

    Not only did I NOT need to know that, I just don’t understand why in the world someone would even want to put fragrance in their belly button anyway – I mean, what’s the point?! Oy.

    Oh, it was advice from her dad! Now this all makes sense! Yes, I’m sure Steven Tyler is full of great beauty advice…???

    I found the article interesting, personally. No need to freak out over a lil bellybutton – we all have one! 😛

      We all have other, um, parts, too, but I’m not putting perfume there. I don’t think anyone was freaking out. Weirded out, maybe. 🙂

    I once hear a story of a woman who put cologne on her gums, which beats a navel by a mile.
