Fragrance of the year?

Would you like to smell of blood and sperm? I didn't think so...
But one person that likes the smell of this combination, and that would like to smell of it all the time, is Lady Gaga.
Are you surprised?

Lady Gaga is planning on launching her own perfume in 2012, with this very odd smell. As always, she has to stand out from the crowd. But if you can even consider dressing in an outfit made of meat (see picture) I guess you could do anything. Anything to be the centre of attention.
Seriously... I think I'll pass on this one, and keep to my favourite perfumes by Ralph Lauren and Armani instead.
Blood and sperm versus fresh and flowery... Tough choice!

It has been a year since the second Sex and the City film came out. Girls all over the world went crazy for the SATC fashion and everyone wanted to get the look of the character Carrie Bradshaw. The light flowing summer dresses, the glamorous cocktail dresses, and the colourful maxi dresses – I sure wouldn’t have said no to being in SJP’s shoes. (Yes, I admit that I am quite a big fan of SATC)
