“Oooh Tom, it’s…so…SeXy!”

“Ehrum, but, just what is it that you are selling here? Hand lotion? Shaving cream?”

Actually, it’s supposed to be an ad for Tom Ford’s first fragrance for men. Hmm, available in a choice of two scents, I suppose. I’ll get it.

consumer warning: “for external use only?”

In offering views on nudity and/or advertising, Tom affords; “But there’s a double standard with featuring female nudity and featuring male nudity,” Ford adds. “When people say to me, ‘Well, you objectify women,’ [I say] I’m an equal opportunity objectifier. We had a lot of magazines reject the female version [of the campaign], so the male version is going to get rejected even more.”

Ah, the sweet smell of…rejection!

“EVERYBODY IS UP TO SOMETHING, heY!”
