The aroma of kohl eyeliner with a whiff of try-hard.

There doesn't seem to be much of a criteria for bringing out fragrances...there certainly isn't a talent or fame requirement (Ashanti, Kimora Lee Simmons, Britney, Paris). The main one...that I could ascertain, was that you have to at least be alive...but even that one can be stretched it seems. Marilyn Manson says that he's " in the final stages with one of the major companies. " with hopes of a full line of cosmetics to come out soon. Fragrances are the new info-merical.

AAAHHH!! Please, at least post a severe nausea warning. I was having my A.M. scone and coffee and just about lost it. Though that picture could be a good weight loss tool -- Hang it in the kitchen and I would never enter it again.

yeah...the only person I like on the entire list is SJP! Everyone else is pathetic...Santana??? WTF?

Marilyn's'll smell like formaldehyde, no? Yummy.



And oh!!! J-Lo Glow is the BEST perfume I've ever, ever had. Seriously I love it you guys...you guys gotta smell it.

I have gotten a whiff of "Glow". I guess it depends on what you like. I wasn't impressed at all.

Neither were the comedians that comment for VH1. They gave the J-Lo. vs. Britney perfume award to Britney, though acknowledging that both of them are kinda stinky.

Dear Marilyn,

Satan wants his look back. Your scaring away all the sinners.

Ok, one question, is his blue/brown eye thing for real? I don't get it. Is he even MAKING any music these days? After Rose McGowan (or was it Christina Ricci? always confuse those two)dumped him, he fell off the map, didn't he? Maybe I am just a nerd.....

Yes, shoe hound you are. He moved on to Dita Von Teese, did two world tours and released another couple of albums.

I've never seen Marilyn Manson as anything but lame. Even way back when he was considered "cutting edge" and "cool". Has any one ever seen a pic of him withouth the makeup? He is nasty looking. Hard to imagine, but he is better with all his "dead 2 months ago" makeup on. Plus his music sux!! The only thing he's done recently (like within the last 2 years, anyways) have been covers of other peoples songs. Does he have any actual talent of his own???

I love M&M he's hilarious. Super smart too.

Elisita said...

yeah...I know what you mean Sleazyred...I saw an interview with the guy (o.k...big lie...I've only ever seen him on a documentary....was he on a Michael Moore film???) but he seemed to be pretty switched on...but this doesn't change the fact that he makes money from fucked up little wannabees who wanna shock their middle-class parents...

Plus...his music sucks...when I heard "personal jesus" I was like wow...Marilyn has finally got a really cool/funny song...and then I realised it was a Depeche Mode cover...and went back to thinking he was lame :)
love,

Stop the perfume! I'm so sick of celebrity perfumes.

My God, Elisa, no more of this sheer filth, please.

You're right, anonymous 10:21 AM. Musicians only have value if they have taut abs, blonde hair and lips pumped with collagen. I mean, Marilyn Manson is UGLY! If that's not a cardinal sin, then I don't know what is.

And enough of this "He makes money out of rebellious teenage losers" shit. I love my parents, I don't want to kill myself and I love his music. Stereotypes are so much easier to understand than, you know, reality.

I've seen him speaking quite a few times and read some interviews and I can confirm he is very intelligent.
