Lady Gaga Perfume "Leaked" Today, Also Not Original

Lady Gaga's new perfume called "Fame" leaked online today and media outlets everywhere are calling it original; one of a kind. 

Why?

Because the perfume is black and when sprayed on turns clear.  It won't stain your clothes and it smells like honey, saffron, apricots, orchid, and jasmine, which actually sounds really nice.  Something I might wear if it didn't have her name slapped on it.  It's like buying Paris Hilton's perfume.  Celebrity perfume lines are cheesy and predictable.  Yes, even Madonna's which I also won't be buying.


The money hating artist released her perfume through her own Haus Laboratories.  Clearly this isn't going to be the only money grabbing product launched from her lab.  New corporation for the ultimate corporate figure head  The same corporate buffoon who despises money.  I wonder if the product is tested on animals?



But is her perfume really that unique?  Is it really a one of a kind.  Not so fast.

In 2008, Wode by Boudicca was released.   Wode was the first of it's kind to use the same technology.  It sprays on blue and vanishes when meets the skin leaving only the scent behind.

The word "wode"is taken from "woad" which is a cobalt blue plant extract.  Boudicca is the name of the great queen who bravely fought the Roman soldiers after they raped her two young daughters.  Boudicca (also spelled Boadicea) was rumored to wear blue war paint. 










On the back of Gaga's perfume bottle, she herself markets Fame as being "the first of it's kind".  Surprise!  It's not.


Once again, this proves there is nothing revolutionary about Lady Gaga and what she does and it's about time the bottom kissing media acknowledges this.


                       


Layman terms for Gaga fans:  Her perfume idea is fine.   Releasing a black perfume that turns clear is not the problem.  The problem is claiming it to be "the first of it's kind right" on the box when it is not.

Furthermore, people who hate money don't put out perfume lines.  Thank you very much.
