Who wants to settle for simply watching his or her favorite stars and films? It’s critical that we can also be as close to them as possible — be exactly like them, if possible — in a way that would be totally creepy and borderline illegal if we were, say, their roommates. Well, good news! Into the pantheon of products that help us to emulate our favorite pop cultural artifacts comes two new entries:
Bruce Willis’ “manly” scent: Finally, Willis shares his beauty and fragrance line with the world! Not only is there a fragrance that German manufacturer LG Health & Beauty Systems calls “the manliest scent in the world,” but there’s also hair- and body-wash, deodorant, and shave balm. It’s tempting to now make a joke about how much he could really know about hair wash, but if all it does is make dudes look as good as he does bald, that’s something. Oh, and it turns out “manliest scent in the world” = notes of grapefruit, pepper, and vetiver, which actually sounds pretty delicious. Having never smelled or even seen any of these products, you can still count us in, Bruce.
New Twilight-inspired nailpolish: The latest in a long line of Twilight-themed beauty products is the 12-shade collection of Nox Twilight nailpolish. Looks like you can choose from blood red, super-dark emo colors, sparkly-like-Edward-in-the-sun colors, and, um, some kind of Miami beach-y melon and turquoise. We’re split on this one: yes to the blood and sparkle and emo, no to the rest, judging purely on appropriateness to theme.
Yes, but can he come out with a manly loofah that would make me feel slightly less self-conscious whenever I have to replace mine?
Other than that, I’m mostly bummed his fragrance line is not called “The Sixth Scent.”
LOL Right. Like Bella would ever wear anything pink.
That was my first thought too – don’t think we’d ever catch Bella, who didn’t even wear foundation, with painted nails.
Merchandising Fail.
Oh, and I’m laughing about the “super-dark emo colors” – reminds me of the terrific South Park episode where the emo kids were disgusted by being mistaken for Twilight fans. lol
LOL I didn’t see that one, but it sounds fantastic.
I don’t get why people think Twilight is emo. Especially Entertainment Weekly. WTF? Emo’s a style!
Oh my God. Those nail polish colors are really really bad.
For the most part, I agree. The Red isn’t too bad, and I actually have a nail polish like the Sangria one. It looks really dark in the bottle, but it looks great on.
I doubt Bella would wear blue polish. As for Bruce, I just hope that his colonge does not smell like dead people.
Yippy and doctordate was good too
I agree completely
That’s some instructive read!!
I agree completely…
An all ’round well thought out piece!!!
You’r truly correct on this blog!!!
