A Million Dollar Idea

There is no doubt that celebrity perfumes and colognes are making huge dollars these days. Britney Spears has Curious, JLo has Glow, even the guys from Orange County Chopper have a cologne out these days.

So I'm thinking why bother coming up with a scent that somehow symbolizes the celebrity in the way it smells. Why not just make scents for celebritites who have a smell so easily identified with their name that the manufacturer doesn't have to go through all the trouble of coming up with that perfect scent. Maybe my suggestions will make my thought process more clear.

My suggestions for new celebrity scents:
1. Meatloaf - the stuff smells like mom's meatloaf, something we all love. And Meatloaf, the artist isn't exactly "busy" these days, so I'm sure he'd sign on to the project. The tagline: Nothing says I'm a fat, sweaty over-the-top emoting, (did I mention fat) cheesy love-song crooner like the smell of meatloaf fresh from a hot oven.

2. Ice-T(ea)- We all love the taste of a refreshing glass of ice tea. I don't see any reason why we wouldn't want to smell like this stuff either. Ice-T could come up with a couple ryhmes for the commercial campaign, and you've got yourself a blockbuster product. The tagline: Nothing says "I'm a straight up gangsta mack" like the smell of freshly brewed Lipton ice tea.

3. Anthony Michael Halls - This one's easy. The tagline: Nothing says washed up 80's teen actor turned modern day muscle-man like the smell of a menthol lozenge.


EDIT: I'm re-reading this post, and I must admit, I'm not proud of it. Not up to my usual (admittedly low) standards. I promise I will try harder to be funnier in the next couple weeks folk(s) (the s in parentheses is just in case I'm talking to myself, which based on the # of comments I get, is probably a pretty good assumption).
