      LOL! But I love gap teeth. And apparently, they’re “in”:

        BUT she has gaps between all her teeth, not just the front two.
        Front two – charming
        All – let’s find an orthodonist.
        YMMV

          I agree with Bear—it looks like maybe she has a gum problem and her teeth are about to fall out of her head. O_O

          ORTHODONTIST – I could have sworn I proofread before posting!

          LOL! I don’t know. I see your point but I don’t find it unattractive.

          If you have a gap it’s kind of a big deal. You’re teased constantly when you’re younger, but then when you’re older its suddenly “cute” or “charming”. If you don’t get it corrected then it’s kind of like a symbol of not giving in. It represents both torment and pride!!!!
          When I see other people’s gaps being complimented then I feel flattered but when someone compliments mine I’m like “Why did you have to acknowledge it?”

          Anyway, I want to try this because it sounds like Lolita Lempicka.

      I am sorry, but I am always a bit scared when we want everyone to be a copy-cat of “perfection”.

      I love a woman who can be so confident that she is not scared by a gap in her teeth (Vanessa Paradis? She’s great!).

      I hope more woman will be less “stereotyped”… but maybe that’s just a though from Europe and in US it might be different…

    First: I don’t care for gapped teeth….hers are particularly distracting!
    so gapped front teeth are supposed to take away from the overly perfected everything? I notice they are fine with her being 6 foot tall and skinny as a rail.

    Second: …so apparently the only person who doesn’t give a damn about her smelling so great is the guy she’s involved with? Only complete, random strangers will find you irresistible…..uh-huh, thanks, don’t need to make my own glazed eyed stalkers.

      sorry, I sound pretty cranky there. Guess that means it is time to turn off the computer and hie myself to Sam’s club for all those important things like a gallon of Heinz Ketchup, the 100-roll pack of paper towels and 16 lbs of boneless chicken breast….if I’m not back in two hours—send in a posse. 😉

        Lucky you!
        I always think to myself, if I ever become insanely wealthy the first thing I would do, is hire someone to do the grocery shopping. 😉

      He’s too tired to care, apparently!

      I’m with Bear, but have fun at Sam’s Club.

    Oh, that is a terrible, terrible commercial, a high-end version of those foul commercials that tell teenaged boys that women will have sex with them if they douse themselves with Axe.

    I still think it’s a fantastic bottle, though.

      I didn’t mind it at all — it’s seems to take itself less seriously than the Diesel Fuel For Life commercials, which I found kind of overdone.

        Yes, there is a touch of silliness in there (the boxing on the TV, the guys falling down the stairs) that makes the ad work, I think. But like others, I’m puzzled by the sleepy guy at the end.

        When I was that age I was wearing Chanel No 19 (I still am). What a prim little miss I must have been.

      Ha! I thought of Axe too! Also: “loverdose”?? Prix Eau Faux, consumer-as-dummy version for sure.

    YES. The first perfume for delusional females. 😀

    Geez, I thought her gapped teeth and the commercial were both cute. I’m in the minority with that opinion though!

      No, I’d vote for “cute” too.

      I find it cute too. I smelled the perfume yesterday. First thing that came into mind was Magnetism Escada.

    Mmm, I like the commercial. It’s refreshing with a woman that doesn’t have to be broodingly sensual all the time, looking mysterious and sultry on a bed/floor/flowery meadow/beach etc etc.

      Seems to be a cover of the Donna Summer song:

    I find the model painfully unattractive – as in, I actually want to look away from her face. I don’t think it’s the gap though, as I usually find that cute. And it was a cute commercial, although I wouldn’t buy the perfume based on it. It does seem to be aimed toward the “Axe” female corollary demographic.
