Monique Thursdays: Celeb Perfume

So I LOVE to read magazines...well anything really. I have a Cosmo subscription for a year (thanks to Groupon just $8...ya, i know!) and of course the advertising is always entertaining to me as well. So this week its all about the main thing that catches your NOSE in magazines, CELEBRITY PERFUME ADS. Really, there is so many in just one magazine that I feel like I'm walking through a department store in the comfort of my home. In saying that, I realized the variety of scents and celebrities all about their own "smell". 

 

I wanted to share the top 5 I saw.

***One thing to keep in mind w/ me and perfume ads...even though I dislike the celebrity or SMELL of the perfume. If the bottle is cute, I would want it in my house lol. So if any of my lovely readers have any of these bottles, keep my disclaimer in mind. HINT,HINT :)***

1. Mariah Carey "Lollipop Bling"

For one, this is just plain RIDICULOUS!!!! I can care less about Mariah Carey, or her photo shopped double in the pic above, let alone the ridiculous of Lollipops with Bling. I can't help but state that when people set themselves up like she has, it's too easy for me. Also, I don't really care for the bottle of choice, I just wanted to share with you how OUT THERE these ads can get. But I guess that was their idea to begin with because it sure did catch my eye, too bad not my money....#notwinning.

2. Katy Perry "Purr"

Katy Perry is my girl. I love her and her mutual liking of cats. I have smelled the perfume and it doesn't smell good but HEY it is a CAT and it is PURPLE(my fave) It is a win win in my book. She sold me at Purrr....ple Cat. :)

3. Playboy (no tag line or name just Playboy...original i know)

This one is another that is too easy for me. For one, the fact that Playboy is so desperate for attention because their magazine is doing awful and there founder is just, well OLD. Now there advertisement sells "play it sexy" when it really screams "play it sexy, and smell like skanky" like I said, TOO EASY. 

***These last 2 perfumes kind of flow together, just wait for it....***

4. Marc Jacob "Lola"

  This is my FAVORITE bottle. One- its cute. Two- it's my cat's name. 

But I must say, I double looked over the next ad for this perfume and decided it was daring, and a little risky. I will let you judge for yourself.

I'm just saying Dakota Fanning is an amazing actress but she's still 17 years old. Inappropriate or just Marc Jacobs just being himself? 

 5. Justin Bieber "Someday"

This cracked me up. One- it's Justin Bieber (the 12 year old boy never surprises me) Two- the cougar in the picture looks wayyy too old for him, that this could be mistaken for  The Graduate2 movie poster. And LAST Three- I will let you see for yourself.....

Notice any similarities? It's like comparing flea market knock off to high end brand name. Maybe "Someday" Justin Bieber will become a man and not have to make millions off of young girls.....hopefully one day. 

I'm just saying, HAPPY THURSDAY! 

TOMORROW IS THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEKEND!!! WOO!

Crazy Cat Man

so since it's Tuesday and I don't have anything else to really discuss why not discuss two of my favs....cats....and my husband. 

My husband Paul is what you can consider a "crazy cat man"....yes there is such a thing, if you don't believe me, you haven't met Paul. Obsessed is not good enough to describe it. I was going through some of Paul's old childhood pictures the other day and came up with a reason behind his fixation on cats....

Obviously this started early for him. After I stopped laughing uncontrollably, I asked my mother in law about this photo and she told me how he was crazy attached to this cat when he was a baby and the feelings were mutual with Gizmo (the cat) as you can see with the photo above. So much that Gizmo even slept with Paul at night in HIS CRIB! ya, i know what you're thinking...that's not dangerous or anything. lol Well good news, 25 years later and Paul is still alive. So now it all makes since to me and I am completely OK with that....cause I'm the cat lady. I honestly don't think it would have worked out if he was a crazy dog man. No offense to the dog lovers of the world....I am a equal animal lover...sometimes....depending on the cuteness. :) 

I leave yall with this other highly HILARIOUS picture I also found of my husband.

this is Paul when his dad was playing for the Oiler's and obviously a picture...THIS picture is worth a 1000 words. I guess this is his reasoning for loving bacon so much?
