The new CK One advertisement. There's some dancing around in underwear, so possibly NSFW. You can read more about the ad campaign at the Moodie Report.

His mind would never romp again
David Lynch directed four commercials for Calvin Klein Obsession and Obsession for Men in 1990. One of them featured Lara Flynn Boyle (of Twin Peaks!), but that one doesn’t appear to be on YouTube, unfortunately. Here are the other 3:

Top 10 Fall Fragrances 2010
Even though I’ve finally finished my years (and years) of higher education, I still think of autumn as a season of “back to school” anticipation, complete with new books, new shoes, and new friendships — as well as the renewal of older friendships.

Does the fragrance live up to the advertising? Well, yes, at least in the relative sense. Beauty is miles away from CK In2U (candied fruity floral), Euphoria (candied fruity vanilla cream oriental) or Secret Obsession (candied fruity hairspray oriental). There’s less fruit, and less candy…
