Going out to buy some right this second, obviously. Brilliant marketing. What I’m getting from that picture is that Tom Ford perfume smells like it’s been in someone’s butt.

I think he's saying women aren't ever person, even this model's behind will still stink. I would love if John .K. Parodied this with Ren as Tom Ford and Stimpy as the model, with Stimpy having the perfume fragrance strips in his butt, because Stimpy really could use the help.

Her derierre may be less offensive, but only because like the rest of her, it's "unused". I think she represents an idealized "woman" instead the messy reality. An imaginary woman who is always submissive,clean, visually attractive, and quiet. How sad to be reduced to a mannequin, no matter how lovely you are. They used strips of perfume for the picture but they may as well have been table napkins. All the beauty and perfume in the world isn't a fair trade for that indignity. What would we think of men's bodies used as props and party favors? I think dehumanizing anyone is bad. I think that’s the way they would like it read but I don’t see it that way.

Just say NO. As a woman, I also find fault with the women who agree to these types of photoshoots. Just say NO.

SO much better than her ass isn't offensive the way a normal person's would be. And if we could just some how manage to look like her, then maybe we wouldn't be so disgusting either. Am I reading too much in to this, or does anyone else get that message, too?
