Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty launched her ‘S2′ perfume in London Tuesday, joining a long list of celebrities who have their own fragrances.
“I chose the name S2 because I thought that is a brand that can go on for my other products as well my own clothing line which I do intend on doing. I may even have a jewelry line,” said Shilpa.
Simply called ‘S2′, Shetty says she’s proud of the perfume and considers it to be a ‘cut above the rest.’
“I know but I think, even if I say this myself at the cost of sounding extremely immodest, our perfume is truly unique. It’s a very strong aroma and a very unique one at that, so this would definitely be a cut above the rest. UK has already become my second home, whether I like it or not - as the reception I receive from people here have always been so overwhelming and so warm, that only makes me come back for more and more,” Shilpa added.
“It is very international but has an ethnic feel to it because of the whole jasmine twist that we have given to the scent. It is something that is very synonymous with me and jasmine is very common in India, it’s very difficult to find abroad, but the scent of jasmine is very long lasting and if you like it, you love it. I think it’s something that is very synonymous with me.”
And there can be no second thoughts–the perfume is aimed for the international market.
In launching her own fragrance, Shetty joins big-name celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Kylie Minogue and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Lancome, the L’Oreal-owned beauty brand, has signed Kate Winslet to be a spokeswoman. Kate will appear in the new ad campaign for Trésor, the popular fragrance.
The classy Trésor reminds me of the stunning Isabella Rossellini, who was the face of the fragrance in the 1990s, and the gorgeous British actress is indeed a worthy successor. Previous celebrity faces for Lancome include Uma Thurman and Clive Owen.
“More than an outstanding actress, Kate Winslet has the amazing ability to be celebrated as both an exceptional and an everyday woman,” said Odile Roujol, Lancôme International’s General Manager. “A passionate person, who lives and feels life to the fullest, she is sure to act as the epitome of Trésor, our mythical fragrance.”
Kate said she was prompted by the values she shares with the brand. “I didn’t feel that I was just being asked to be the face of something. It was me as a person… and my message to women – about being real in who you are and comfortable in your skin.”
The new print campaign and television commercial were shot in the heart of Paris on the Pont des Arts by renowned fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh. It should be just a matter of a couple of months before we can actually see them.

Luxury Italian fashion house Tod’s has tapped Sienna Miller to represent their latest products, posing for its fall-winter 2007-’08 advertising campaign.
This marks the first time ever the accessories and ready-to-wear brand is using a celebrity to endorse its line of bags, shoes and clothing collection.
Actress and tabloid popular Sienna Miller flew into New York for a weekend photo shoot at Megu in TriBeCa, straight from the set of The Edge of Love, co-starring Keira Knightley. Mikael Jansson shot Miller with the fall 2008 collection, overseen by Derek Lam, Tod’s creative director.
“Sienna manages to make every man fall head-over-heels in love with her, and every woman wants to be her, as well as to be her best friend,” said Lam. “What more can you ask for as the embodiment of the Tod’s philosophy?”
You can Find Celebrity Sunglasses right here.
Tod’s president Diego Della Valle claimed Sienna as an ideal choice because she “is the perfect embodiment of Tod’s style and philosophy: a young woman, with a charming and sophisticated elegance.”
The campaign will debut worldwide in August in major fashion and lifestyle publications.

When I was offered an opportunity to write a review on leftoffme.com, I knew immediately it would be win-win situation. How often do you get paid to browse a site full of quality photos of beautiful, hot and sexy Thai girls? Right? WRONG!
I just got an email from reviewme.com saying that the advertiser has cancelled the campaign and that I will not be paid. How COOL is that?
I wouldn’t hazard a guess as to who is more cheap - reviewme.com or leftoffme.com, but I figure since I’ve worked so much on the review, I’ll let it pass. This is charity for reviewme.com! lol
Leftofme.com (What’s ‘left of me’??? I ought to let you have the pleasant surprise of discovering for yourself—there’s a really cute explanation on the About page of the site.) is very easy on the eyes, and the pictures, easier! The author publishes pictures of—you guessed it—beautiful, hot and sexy Thai and Asian girls who are in the news.
Each and every photo is augmented with the author’s comments as if he is an authority. You’ll find a quick intro to who she is, what’s her claim-to-fame, what she’s doing currently, plus some gossip thrown in as well as the author’s personal comment (who asked for it any way) about the ‘hotness’ of the girls. He also provides for more than one shot of each model/celebrity in different poses and backgrounds. He’s just assuming what what men want, anyways.
While the design is uncluttered with soft shades (and boring), I wonder if the logo text (Thai Scans: Magazine scan of beautiful, hot, sexy Thai girls) is easily readable, since part of it typed against a dark background. Besides, I really believe that a site like leftofme.com deserves a much better header. The one that I saw (screenshot above) sucked and was depressing.
If you’re looking for variety, try browsing through the categories—maybe you’ll find something to read in ‘Tips’ or some fun video clips in ‘Uncategorized’. I hope we’ll be able to see more in the ‘International’ category, since this site is moving fast, and drawing attention.
As I’m writing this, the subscribers to RSS feeds is showing 5706, and that’s mighty impressive. When I finish writing this, it will show 5707.
This is a leftofme.com charity review.
