The Apple Store sent me an e-mail outlining the upcoming seminars they are offering this month, one of which will be lead by, of all people, the actor Alan Cummings. I thought, "What makes Alan Cumming qualified to give a seminar on...? Say it isn’t so." Apparently, he will be lecturing on the different Mac programs he used to create the marketing of his fragrance, “Cumming”. Yes, and strangely enough, Sephora is selling it, not MAC. It is not available in splash; spray only. The website (http://www.cummingthefragrance.com/) claims its makers, Christopher Brosius, Jason Schnell and Alan Cumming himself, “bring you a scent that is all about Sex, Scotch, Cigars and Scotland.” Right.

I’m all for clever marketing, but give me a break! It got a laugh out of me, but only because I could imagine all the sophomoric fashionistas giggling while trying to out-do each other’s bad, unoriginal puns. This is worse than FCUK.

Sounds like one semenar I might have to miss.

It's also like those designers who have new Target lines. I just bought an Isaak Mizrahi lamp last weekend, and I am so sure he spent less than a second approving his name for that product.

ha, when I saw this come up in my notifications emails I was like "what in the world is Jon posting now?" Crazy.
