Come Back to the Clean Side Portman!
We were a bit bummed to read that the lovely and usually so intelligent Natalie Portman has signed on as the new face for Parfums Christian Dior. We’re sure the price was nice, and hey, we get that—but given that Portman has made such a meal of her green activism, it’s pretty disappointing. Not only is she big on animal rights, she even starred with Michelle Williams in this Polanski-directed spoof on….wait for it…over-hyped celebrity perfume campaigns.
She’s always been vocal about using her fame as a vehicle for positive change, even saying (according to eonline): “I don’t have a problem with making money, but I don’t believe in doing something you don’t believe in to make money, like a makeup campaign or something like that…”
Hey, maybe we’re in for a surprise, and the new campaign is going to launch a totally clean perfume and we’ll be forced to eat our words. We’d love nothing more. We won’t hold our breath, though—unless she walks by wearing Dior perfume, of course.
OMG! I got an advance copy of this book from my friend who works in the entertainment industry and got it in a celeb gift bag and SERIOUSLY it’s MIND BLOWING! i thought i was pretty product savy -own that ‘don’t go to the cosmetic’s counter without me’ book etc. but this is like the “Food Inc.” for your face.
Thank you so much for writing this, no joke: it’s changed my life! (and my skin)
