Mindless ramblings of an overachieving college student.

Welcome to My Closet
This will always be one of my favorite commercials due to the comedic play on gender differences and fantasies we all have. I'm still laughing after the 100th play. If you're not already familiar with this wonderful Heineken commercial, enjoy.
My grandmother wore this scent, and the air of mystery surrounding this perfume captures her personality perfectly. Scenes from this take me right back to Paris... and make me question the way women are portrayed as sexual objects that men can't resist (Gender & the Media college course in action). Sleeping naked on a public train? I think not. Still evokes an emotion I can't help but get sucked into.
I think I enjoyed watching a brief history of Chanel No. 5 more than that video however. Check out this site for images of Coco, what flowers are used in the formula, and how it has reinvented itself. Chanel No. 5: The Story
