Mercy!



Okay, this is just plain sad.

Although I’m surprised Yoko Ono didn’t think of it first . . .

The perfume reminds me of a quote from Andy Warhol:"Commercial things really do stink. As soon as it becomes commercial for a mass market it really stinks.

Somwhere on the astral plane Mr. Campbell's Soup Can might be enjoying the irony of fragrances being launched in his name.

Mrs. Orbison's project is creepy because Orbison wasn't a guy who would have enjoyed it in the least. It's commercial necrophilia by proxy.

But I actually DO like the idea of a Yoko Ono fragrance. Not John Lennon as done by Yoko Ono, but Yoko Ono as done by Yoko Ono!

There would have to be a very high, piercing introduction note . . .

How about Grunge Widow by Courtney Love?

Or Sonic for Men by Patti Smith?
