Very interesting juxtaposition, Editors; thanks.

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> Why would a competent designer want to emulate the PORN industry?? The most tacky and tasteless aspect of pop culture? He might as well have Ron Jeremy in the background!

Seriously, that ad is beyond revolting.

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> Where. Are. Her. Nipples?

How deeply disturbing is THAT? Like yeah, showing even a hint of areola...now that would be porn but the www.realdoll.com aspects...fine...fine...it's art....totally family oriented too. Women should all aspire to look like the manikin erm....model.

Do all gay men now need to have their nipples removed? Are nipples too femme? Too metrosexual?

Hey maybe for the deluxe promo package they'll include the realdoll torso with every purchase? Act now! You too can smell like tom ford even if you look like ross jeffries! Sexeh!

I must now disagree with my prior conclusion:

What gay man is going to buy this?

What straight woman is going to buy this for her guy?

What straight man is going to slap on a cologne by a gay designer called "Ton Ford for Men"? Creepy and redundant.

Which leaves Ton Ford for Men possibly the only cologne marketed slyly to Lesbians. Go Ford!

It looks like a bottle of cologne that is magnetically attracted to silicone implants.

It is a perfect metaphor of the target audience.

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> I fucking hate those Balenciaga shoes. Almost as much as I hate that collection for making keffiyehs trendy high fashion, thus inspiring the dolt-headed teenagers who read Teen Vogue to adopt them as a "fun kicky scarf" for fall!

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> @squawks: Yeah, those shits are ugly as hell. And I've seen them in at least 3-4 pubs now.

Tom Ford needs a donkey punch to the jaw - that ad is ig'nant. Like my grammar at this moment...

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> Well, the Terry Richardson-style Ford ad succeeded in arresting our attention in the chaotic and bloated mediascape we call home. Whenever I think of facials and pearl necklaces, I'll think of Tom Ford and his...uh, what was he selling again?

Cam/ron

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> @ineffable.me:

Yeah, seriously. At the time I wondered if that cover was intended as a subtle way of fighting acceptance of non-skeletal models, since they made gorgeous curvy Scarlett look like a beached whale.

ineffable.me

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> I think that the Vanity fair cover he did a while ago, with a skeletal Scarlett Johannson and Keira Knightly (he looked like he was whispering in Knightley's ear or something) was more disturbing, but, yeah, all these images scream "misogyny" to me.

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> @Richfourfour: yeah, totally. i refuse to get up in arms about this one -- it's with a grain of salt hot, and it's funny, especially since that little perfume penis is ... well... so diminutive.

Exactly. I fucking hated that issue for the same reasons.

I want to cockpunch Tom Ford. Then steal his bronzer.

Soymocha

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> I guess I'm a wannabe. I kinda liked the boots, minus the savage fur. Reminds me of the old school diesel boots and pumps. Yeah, sorry. Liked them. But they're one of those shoes that you can only get away with wearing two or three times in your life. So, I'll have to stay a wannabe and leave the rich bitches to the one grand 'occasion' shoes.

Cry4Hemp

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> I don't think it's meant to be satire at all. It's Tom Ford after all. I've never seen anything he's done that's not misogynistic -- whether ad or editorial -- in that there's never any real respect for any women included or portrayed. They're typically objectified at best.

nyobserver

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> @Everybody Likes Pandas: That VF really pissed me off and made me vomit a little bit. The one black woman in there, I forget who, was nude, of course, posed like some fucking cross between Josephine Baker and The Hottentot Venus. Tom Ford, ugh, utterly disgusting.

And fucking button up your shirt for the love of GOD!

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> this isnt even slightly shocking. its like being shocked at lindsay lohan going to rehab or something.

tom ford is still the sexiest man and i still want to have his babies.

You know, one of those shoes has badger trim. Wonder if it was rabid...

yarnmule

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> That Ford ad is so over-the-top, I can't read it as anything but satire of the above-mentioned "male fantasy," especially since it's overseen by a gay man. I understand that most people will read it just as straightforwardly as all the commenters above (without the outrage), but I think it might be smarter than it appears at first glance.

Richfourfour

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> Are those Lego shoes?

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> @sexandphilosophy: Seconded.

BiscuitDoughJones

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> On second thought, those shoes may be even more degrading. Clearly Balenciaga thinks women are complete idiots... or the designers there are playing a big joke on everyone, just ready to laugh their asses off at anyone dumb enough to purchase these.

sexandphilosophy

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> I keep returning to this pic, horrified and stunned. It's only just now sinking in that this ad is aimed at men. The Tom Ford man. The kinda man that prefers his human blow-up doll to shut the fuck UP and receive his spunk without coughing/choking.

CatOTO

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> Wow, i very rarely have an emotional reaction to anything (i even kinda thought the condom ad with the bandaged lips was kinda amusing) but this ad is so disgusting i'm actually angry... this is just downright degrading

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> Inflate her boobs to cantaloupe size, just so you can airbrush out any semblance of nipples. Great. Just great.

SeriesOfTubes

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> The Tom Ford Hollywood Issue is the reason I didn't bother to renew my subscription to Vanity Fair. There's only so much exploitation of the female form that I can take. Unless a headless nude woman has something in particular to do with Jason Schwartzman that I missed...

Sweet Panda Love

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> This is just playing into the male fantasy that with the right fragrance will make a woman forget when they are useless jerk and fall at their feet.

Give it up men, the right body spray, haircoloring, beer selection, or new electronic is not going to make women come-a-running!

Leiakat

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> I don't know, smelling like marshmellows might be okay...when I showed up at mass in my new scent a couple of weeks ago, all the boys said "ummm, you smell like french toast." But, then, it really isn't the boys I'm trying to attact, is it?

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> @CatOTO: She's also oiled for extra plasticity- another classic Newton move.

BiscuitDoughJones

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> @BiscuitDoughJones: Seriously. Bourdin and Helmut Newton are spinning in their graves as we speak.

I don't like how the female model is essentially styled (and inflatably re-boobed) to resemble a blow-up doll.

CatOTO

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> Wow, a tit-banging ad. And her mouth is wide-open, apparently all prepped to receive the jizz. Classy!

Trixie from Toronto

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> Here we go again. Some 'artiste' photographer suckling on the long-deceased teat of Guy Bourdin. Tom Ford opposed to original ideas? No waaaaay!

BiscuitDoughJones

]]> <![CDATA[What A Dildo: Designer Tom Ford's Phallic Fragrance]]> Is it really that much of a shock that Tom Ford would scrap the original ads, shot by a WOMAN, for visions of headless models being raped by his huge glass bottle, shot by a seemingly like-minded MALE photog?


My bigger question is, what does Tom Ford have against his MOTHER? Clearly he has some issues going back to his trip down the birth canal.
