Gywneth Paltrow Is Selling A Candle That Smells Like Her Vagina

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is selling a candle that smells like her vagina at $75 a pop for her lifestyle and wellness company Goop. The name of the candle is none other than, you guessed it, “This Smells Like My Vagina.”

Paltrow first came across a scent that she said reminded her of the smell of her own vagina, she claims. The scent was then finalized for the “This Smells Like My Vagina” candle, which reportedly sold out within hours of its test run.

“This candle started as a joke between perfumer Douglas Little and GP — the two were working on a fragrance, and she blurted out, ‘Uhhh … this smells like a vagina,'” Goop outlined.


The smell then “evolved into a funny, gorgeous, sexy, and beautifully unexpected scent,” according to the company.

“That turned out to be perfect as a candle — we did a test run … and it sold out within hours,” Goop bragged. “It’s a blend of geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar absolutes juxtaposed with Damask rose and ambrette seed that puts us in mind of fantasy, seduction, and a sophisticated warmth.”

Goop, clearly, is not a traditional brand. In 2018, for example, the wellness company settled a six-figure lawsuit surrounding their “vagina eggs,” which were promoted to help regulate females’ hormones and negate menstrual cramps.

“It turns out, contrary to Goop’s advice, shoving a large egg made out of a porous mineral into the recesses of your lady-regions may not be the best treatment for conditions like endometriosis,” The Daily Wire reported. “Apparently, Goop knew — or, according to a complaint filed by the California consumer protection office, Goop should have known before they marketed this product, as well as a ‘flower essence’ they claimed treated depression, to consumers on their website.”

Well, Whale barf is used in the majority of perfumes so it was only a matter of time til they started using other orifices.

My grandmother and I both had party lines. My gransmother had a black phone with an earpeace on a cord. The phone was tall and had round mouth piece at the top. Yep, you had to hold the ear piece with your right hand and the phone in your left hand.
She also had a tall radio with a pre tuner and a tuner. It was encased in a beautiful wood case. About waste high to a man but probably neck high to me.
She got dairy products once a week from the milk man in a white Alpenrose carton which I still have. Butter, milk, cream, eggs, buttermilk. My father would occasionally get raw mild from a guy who lived in s part of Oswegon, now Lake Oswego and had a single cow. His daughter went to school with me and was dirt poor and extremely bashful. The had an Italian last name, Sciutto, and probably came over here shortly after WWII.
Most unbelievable was her ice box. The ice man would come once a week with a big block of ice. He would stick the block of ice in a wooden ice box, part of the kitchen cabinets, and chip it into crushed ice with an ice pick.
There was a guy who ran the produce department at the local supermarket, The Food Center. He used to sell produce door to door in the older part of Oswego. He later bought the Food Center and renamed it Weizer's, still later moving it across the street. Yeah, his last name was Weizer. When we first moved to Oswego in 1948, my dad was fresh out of the Army and we didn't have a pot to pee in. Mr. Weizer took a $50 dollar bill out of his wallet and gave it to my mother with the words "Take as long as you need to pay it back." Of course, we paid it back and it didn't take us long to do so. I never knew this story until my mother told me when I was somewhere in my forties. Mr. Weizer scared me. I recall him being from Lebanon and he had the dark eyes that scared me. I wish I had known sooner what a heart he had.
 
We still had a party line at the time I left for college.

My father in law has a funny story from the late 70s, he was a vice-president of a company - but had an old Chevette (father of 3 girls, just needed a shitbox to get to work in winter in the north east where there is salt on the roads and the cars rust quickly).

His boss once told him this is a no-go, since it is parked in a reserved spot for a VP and it is something customers might see if they come to their building. He was told he will get a budget to get any new car he wanted (within that budget) on the company so he could park a more "representative" vehicle. Being a smart-ass - he asked if that covered a brand new Chevette... (He ended up with a Mazda RX7)
