Sexy Beast (On A Leash)

I went down to Bryant Park on Tuesday to shoot the Nanette Lepore show for Fashion Week, courtesy of the press passes that were set aside for Spectator photographers. Though there are many things about the fashion world that I find preposterous and vaguely obscene, it's still a fun and exciting gig -- made infinitely better by the assortment of free gift bags and samples that were being liberally handed out.

One perfume sample, however, stopped me in my tracks. Tagged as "100% Vegan, 100% Safe, and 100% Sexy," upon closer inspection the sleek white tube contained "Unisex Eau de Parfum."

For your dog.

Even more alarming? The ingredient list ("A blend of bergamot and vanialla-infused musk with patchouli, mandarin, and nutmeg oils") is almost identical to that of my favorite perfume. Urk.
