Apr 08Did You Hear? Girls love Gwen Stefani, no matter what.
Why does everyone love Gwen Stefani? Whatever the reason, she has done it again. I mean that Gwen has managed to market herself into a product one more time and convince me to buy it. I believe it can all be traced to my sixth grade obsession with No Doubt. Don’t tell me you didn’t wear bindis, rhinestones on your bra, and patent leather Dr. Martens!
This September Gwen will introduce her new Harajuku Lovers fragrance collection. She has created her dolls out of her own spitting image, as well as her four backup singers. She says “…so much had been done already with creating these girls — dreaming up the entire world while I was working on the first solo album, living the fantasy on tour — the actual fragrance selection wasn’t that hard.” The scents are Love (sensuous floral), Angel (fruity floral), Music (delicate floral), Baby (powdery musk), and G for Gwen (fruit, flowers & sandalwood).
The collection will be carried in Macy’s, Nordstrom, Dillard’s and Sephora. In select stores you will be able to spot life size dolls based on the fragrance. They will also be accompanied by a photo booth where customers can take their pictures with the characters.
How long will this Harajuku Lovers world last? I can’t say because I didn’t expect it to get ths far – I mean, wasn’t everyone who was cool into Harajuku like in 1995? What I can promise is that this time I won’t get swept into Gwen’s wonderland until I smell the perfume. I still have a entire bottle of L (LAMB) waiting to be used by someone who isn’t me.
One last thing, don’t forget to read this: Gwenihana
