Women Launch Perfume Lines, Men Enter into Fragrance Partnerships

I just think this is so funny. And by funny I of course mean aggravating.

Patrick Dempsey has signed onto a “fragrance partnership” with Avon.

“This is an extremely exciting opportunity for me to work with Avon — a brand I have long respected as a global powerhouse with a lot of heart and soul,” said Dempsey. “The brand reaches every corner of the globe with more than just high quality products — it creates economic empowerment for women through its earning opportunity, and has an excellent reputation for corporate philanthropy through their Avon Foundation. My wife Jillian has enjoyed her experience working with Avon, and I look forward to joining the family as well.”

OMG. Gag me with a spoon. “Economic empowerment?” Through its “earning opportunity?” Jesus Christ, people, go to fucking college. And why just women? Are men not allowed to be Avon reps? They’re certainly allowed to enter into fragrance partnerships with Avon.

I dunno, it’s not that Avon isn’t a good-hearted organization; I think what bothers me about this is that women don’t enter into “fragrance partnerships.” They launch perfume lines. But when a man gets involved the press release reads like JP Morgan Chase just took out a non-recourse loan from the Fed for him. Ridiculous.
