My new love affair, lighting up my life with Chanel

First of all. This is not a review. Attempting to catch up on over a week's worth of blogs has left me weary of glowing reviews and endless swatches. Oh the swatches. Also new job (yay!) requires me to write almost constantly, checking myself, word counts, structure - so I would much prefer to just ... write for the moment. If that's alright with you of course.

I blame Kelly Hope Murphy for this. She got her hands on the limited edition Poudre Signee de Chanel Illuminating Powder. I missed my chance to have someone pick it up duty free but I chanced my arm and cautiously approached the Chanel counter.

What the hell, Chanel?!

Eh ... new CHANEL N°5 campaign staring Brad Pitt. No. Just no.

Sorry Lagerfeld, but while the gravely voice is quite nice; the wrinkled shirt, wiry facial hair (which I have never been a fan of) and these picture - are not! 

I'm very confident that I would have done a better job in my first year of college. In fact I would have been laughed at if I handed that in.

But well played Chanel, well played. Thinking about it, they'll never have to air this ad on TV or print it in any magazines. The buzz around this campaign will market itself between Google images, blogs (like this, yes I'm playing right into their hands) and Youtube - it's well worth the 30min of effort the whole thing probably took. If even.

For future reference, this is the perfect Chanel campaign

Marilyn for life.
