    This sounds as uninspired as her first one.

    What, on earth, is ‘water musk’?

      I’m curious too….I didn’t think it was a good thing for water to be ‘musky’ —that’s a very bad sign! Extreme caution is advised.

      It is the scent that water molecules use to attract other molecules so that they may combine in capillary action. (Just kidding!).

      Actually it is a subliminal cue that the advertisers don’t expect anyone to take their description seriously.

        Or, more likely, it’s a very blatant cue that the advertiser’s are so contemptuous of this product’s intended marketing demographic that they think they can get away with making up ludicrous names for non-existant components.

      Maybe we should start qualifying our celebrities like that . . .
      US Notorious Person, US Overexposed Person, US Tabloid Person, etc.

        I think she could go as UK Overexposed Person, given that she ‘models’ in very little clothing, har har har, and also has her own reality TV show, if you could really call that ‘reality’.

        I have a policy of not buying celebrity perfumes, (although the reviews indicate that some of them are good, so this is my own snobbery). However, at Ades, I fell in love with CDG Daphne. After I bought it, I learned that it is supposedly is a cooperative effort with a Brit lady famous for her style, in other words, a celebrity perfume. Ahh, but it so lovely I make an exception. (It smells as if a CDG fragrance was slathered with tuberose).

        I suppose Daphne, is a “Famous only in Britain” person.

        In the U.S., a famous basketball player was asked if I certain statement in his “autobiography” was an unjustified criticism of his teammates. The player replied, “I haven’t read that.” Several years ago, a television personality known for 1000 marketing ventures cried on television because she was “unfairly” criticized for having her clothing made by third world workers who never were paid. She claimed it was unfair to blame her for work done by a company she had little to do with.

        Someday, some celebrity is going to say, “gee, don’t blame me [for those skin rashes, the use of gasoline (“real” not “synthetic” gasoline”) as a note. and the ad campaign that violates child indecency laws], I had nothing to do with that stuff marketed as my personal scent.

          Daphne is an homage to Daphne Guinness:

      Sheesh! Anyway ‘ inspired by tender moments with those you love the most’ really made me laugh as she is shameless about sharing her most intimate details with any magazine/ tabloid who waves any money at her! From what I gather, a more accurate fragrance would include top notes of fake tan, eyelash glue, middle notes of Botox and pleather and a drydown of shamelessness.

    yes UK famous person, everything about her in the papers is a plot. she is a very good business woman, she clicks her fingers does some stunt and she’s all over the papers for a good few weeks.

    and I read about thisperfume launch in the Metro. they compared it to her, or her heart. something like stone cold and see through.

          You too? I did the same with Amy Winehouse. It is just so hugely out of balance I thought she had a whole other head on top of the one she keeps her brain in. In fact, I remember thinking if she bent over at all, she would fall over from the weight of it. Oh dear, I am mean. I’ll stop it now. (Ashamed of myself!!)

            Well. Amy Winehouse’s body wouldn’t exactly win in a fight with her hair. It might weigh more than she does. I could easily see it taking her down. In fact, maybe it has. Have we heard anything about Amy in a while? She may very well be a victim of her own hair.

    I had to check that she was the same person I knew as “Jordan” when I used to skim the vicious gossip blogs for laughs a few years back. They always made fun of her because each of her (presumably artificial) breasts were/are larger than her head.

    Gee, she was also nominated (seriously) as an author for British Children’s Book of the Year. Who knew?

            Hah – too funny, I was definitely NOT referring to artificial boobs, my sympathy only extends to the naturally well endowed!
            Anyway, in the US my size is actually smaller than Katie’s (apparently our grasp of the alphabet is questionable in ladies lingerie) and I am 6ft. tall –
            but I heard waaaaaaay to many jokes in high school about myself to have any feelings for women who deliberately enhance and market their assets.

          13 October 2010 at 1:20 pm

          It’s one thing to have boobs bigger than your head, it’s another to go out and get them. I have a friend who can’t even find bras in her size (and she’s otherwise a very petite person), but it doesn’t look unnatural on her, since it’s the body she was born with. Again, most fake boobs just plain don’t look real (if they’re a 38 FF or whatever, they should at least hang down, not lay like beach balls on your chest), and the proportions are all off. I’m also not knocking implants– there are plenty who have them that don’t go hog wild with the concept. Maybe if I had the money I’d do it too… Eh, I think I’d just want them lifted back up the northern hemisphere of my body.

            I think we were posting at the same time – your friend and I have similar problems.
            I was shopping a few months ago for lingerie, unhappy with my choices, when the assistant offered “the one you are wearing reflects your natural shape”
            to which I replied ” I want one that reflects the shape I had 10 years ago”.

    While I firmly believe in the “higher the hair, the closer to God” rule, combined with the alien chest implants, it’s all just so wrong. But “water musk”? My mind boggles. Did they take the poor little deer, and suspend him so that his glands were submerged in a vat of water (properly blessed by the Dalai Llama) until it was sufficiently infused with muskiness? Or was the deer unceremoniously “separated” from those parts, which were then dumped in an oak barrel to age into the rare substance of water musk?

    BTW, I’ve got a set of triple D’s, and I cant imagine anyone who would deliberately get F’s! My god, the shoulder pain!

    Does anyone else think the bottle is a blatant ripoff of the Vera Wang Princess bottle?

      I try not to look at the Vera Wang Princess bottle. But you are right …

    Synchronicity being what it is, I read this review yesterday and this morning happened upon the unexpected fascination Katie Price evidently exerts over Martin Amis. I like to learn something new every day, although this wasn’t at all what I expect to learn with my morning coffee. http://www.abebooks.com/blog/index.php/2009/10/29/literary-smackdown-martin-amis-vs-katie-price/

        I’m glad, I thought so, too. And now I’m off to restock my Patou 1000. Sorry, Katie.

      Hahahaha. Her last “novel” outsold the entire Booker prize shortlist.

      I shouldn’t be surprised, but I’m just laughing to stave off the vale of tears.

    Poor Katie Price! She was actually a nice-looking girl when she first started being photographed, before all the implants. Now she looks like a badly done-up drag queen! Not much in the brains department, either. Seeing as how her own life has not been very lucky with love, the advertising text is just wrong. Anyway, who in the world would want to smell like her? (Or her ex, whose also just launched a fragrance). Didn’t I read recently that silicone is being used as an ingredient in some perfumes? How appropriate.

    I’m also a naturally-endowed woman climbing the bra size alphabet (I sometimes think Dr. Seuss thought of me when he wrote “On Beyond Zebra”). For large bra sizes in really pretty styles, rather than ugly, armored constructions, a good address is: Bravissimo in England. They do mail order. No affiliation.

      Thanks for the info, I’m always on the lookout for cute underthings in the more advanced alphabet sizes.

    Thanks also for the info on bras. I’ve found a nice bra line that wasn’t designed for non-sexual grandmothers, but it took awhile. I think the most horrific one I tried was Playtex. It was butt ugly and three inches of it projected above my shirts neckline. There’s still a place here in Nashville I need to check out, that I was told specialized in pretty bras in all sizes- but pricey (not that I care, good underpinnings are a necessity ).

    I am thinking that purchasing quality helps fend off the barbarians. For every bottle of Joy bought, or good book read, civilization survives a bit longer.

    Sorry to be posting so late. Please note that bra sizes are different in many countries. Try this site for conversion:
