While watching television yesterday, it suddenly came to my attention that Tim McGraw was launching his own fragrance. Tim McGraw? Really? I mean, I'm used to the likes of Paris Hilton and Sarah Jessica Parker selling their signature smell to the world, but who wants to smell like a country music star? Am I missing something?
Well, this sparked my interest. Suddenly, I decided to look around a bit and see what other people had decided to bottle themselves up. To my surprise, almost everyone is doing it these days! Like I said, Madonna I can handle, Beyonce, Jlo, even Prince. But Derek Jeter? David Beckham? Michael Jordan? These are some seriously sweaty men! Do we really want their disciples running around reeking of professional sports? But I suppose that isn't really the point, is it?
The real point is that, apparently, you're not established in the world of fashion or celebrity until you have your name on a fancy bottle for everyone to see. What I really want to know is who is buying these things? Chanel no.5 I can understand, but even Hillary Duff makes no sense. Granted, at least Hillary Duff's fragrance would err closer on the side of innocence than on the side of "baby prostitute" (as some of the other scents have been dubbed).
In a world where people complain about the price of gas, thousands of Americans are dying to smell like the Desperate Housewives. (I'm not kidding. Their fragrance its titled "forbidden fruit") Yay capitalism!
