The Lipstick League – week of 7.28.14
Question of the Week: Which celebrity do you wish would create a celebrity fragrance and why? What do you think it should smell like?
EauMG’s Answer: Oh, I’d LOVE to hear your answer to this question. Years ago, I would have (and did say) RuPaul but Ru launched Glamazon last year. And then I would have said Elvira but Elvira launched perfumes with Demeter last year. Hell, there are even
