Brad Pitt equals which number?

I saw it this morning.

Was I impressed?  Quite frankly, no!

When I heard earlier this year that Brad Pitt was to front the new campaign for No.5 (not "Chanel no.5 - but that is a whole other story and discussion...) - I was shocked.  How audacious!  How clever, how revolutionary!  Go, CHANEL... a very powerful move, indeed.

However, the results came through - and all I saw was pretentious drivel, with Pitt coming across like an elitist "tosser".  A friend of mine has carefully said she can't wait to be besieged on counter by "morons who will come in to ask for the men's No.5 with Brad Pitt..."  Enough said!

If you are yet to be convinced, log onto YouTube and see for yourself.  Your thoughts and opinions would be gladly welcomed.

"It's not a journey. Every journey ends, but we go on," Brad utters huskily.

"The world turns, but we turn with it. Plans disappear, dreams take over, but wherever I go, there you are."

Such drivel, if ever I heard it.  What on Earth Have CHANEL done here?  Once again, they are very clever little boffins.  No matter what our opinion - they are very smart in Paris.  They have created yet another publicity coup that will have us all talking.

No matter what: love or hate the ad, it will bring us all to our knees, as it will consume many a conversation the world over - from men to women; gay or straight; Chanel connoisseur and neophyte...

Maybe Mademoiselle was beyond plucky and intelligent  - she was truly a visionary!  Although, she will never be my Miuccia!
