Brad Pitt and Marilyn Monroe -- It's Chanel No. 5, or nothing
Chanel No. 5.
That immortal exchange between the press and the sex symbol helped the famous scent released in 1921 by designer Coco Chanel sail through the 50s and beyond as the most distinctive fragrance ever created.
In later times, such fabulous females as Catherine Deneuve, Ali MacGraw and Nicole Kidman became the face of Chanel. Miss Kidmans print and TV ads were absolutely spectacular, and as important to her post-Tom Cruise rise as any of her films.
But times change. I mean, boy, do they change! Chanel No. 5 will now tempt women to spritz it on their collarbones and cleavage by using ... Brad Pitt!
Yes, the man who totally belongs to Angelina Jolie will be luring ladies worldwide as the new face and hard body of Chanel No. 5.
Although men have been putting out their own fragrances for some time, I believe Mr. Pitt and Chanel are launching some delicious gender-bending here. I dont recall a man ever promoting a womans perfume before.
Chanel proudly states that No. 5 is the most iconic fragrance of our time, and Brad Pitt is the most iconic actor of our time.
Well, I dont know that Id go so far as to say Brad is the most iconic actor of our time. It is the 21st century now, so maybe we have to take Clark Gable, Gary Cooper and John Wayne off our old lists? Brad is, in any case, an excellent actor, who has had to fight to be seen as more than just a beautiful face. He is also a superb humanitarian who really puts his money where his mouth is.
Women can now fantasize as they dab on No. 5 that Brad is putting his famous pouty mouth on the same spot.
Daniel Craig is on the cover and inside Vanity Fair for November in anticipation of his third Bond movie. Skyfall. This films exceptional trailer is being w! idely praised, admired and appreciated. It makes you pant for Nov. 9.
But hero Craig says fame has its drawbacks. He has to behave, privately. He cant get drunk or go skinny-dipping.
Im sure its healthier for an actor not to get drunk, but lets take a poll on his skinny-dipping. And anyway, weve already seen him naked in films where he wasnt James Bond.
