The Sweet Smell of Success

I wouldn't have pegged Erykah Badu as the type to go the mainstream advertising route, but more power to her and to Tom Ford for choosing the singer as the face of his new, yet-to-be-named women's fragrance.

We should help Tom Ford out and come up with a fragrance name to match the ad campaign's face.

YEA BADU! GET THAT MONEY MAMA!!!

fa real tho. we need more people like her in the public eye. putting her in ads would def. be a positive for me. Plus we need more people like her with money in their pockets so they can do something positive with it.

Can I be her stylist/MUA/hairstylist for the ads. I mean, she needs one.

I love Tom Ford and I love Erykah Badu. Well, hope she doesn't have her

Well, as long as she doesn’t have her vulva (yes, I said vulva) all out like the women in Tom’s other ads (Gucci G-shaped pubes, perfume covering labia of impeccably waxed woman…). If it’s a tasteful nude, great.

I know he likes naked women. He fought HARD for a pregnant AJ’s ass crack to be shown in that naked issue.

I like her style, too, but it's not one that makes you think, "wow, I wanna smell like her."

Love Erykah, and her style….for the most part, so i'm happy for her.

1. Tom Ford is NOT sexy, unless you like cockeyed gay men.

2. He's VULGAR, and those ads are not SEXY at all.

3. He tries way to hard to be provocative, and usually fails.

4. His mens fragrance stinks

5. He's a douchebag
