You know how there’s that dinner party game, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, that shows how any actor can be linked to Kevin Bacon in six or fewer links. Well I think I’ve found the beauty version: Two Degrees of Michael Kors. I was working with a large group of women yesterday, when one girl walked into the room wearing the heaven fragrance. There’s nothing to stop a serious work discussion like a heady dose of beauty talk. Seemed everyone had a story about the fragrance. One had been banned from wearing it by a boyfriend because his ex had worn it. Another got stopped in the street at least twice a day about it. Another had a friend who had a friend who found her husband thanks to it. It went on and on. As for me, well I’m zero degrees. It’s one of my favourites and the one I always drag out when I need to feel much more glamorous than I actually am. But the big question? Can Michael Kors be linked to Kevin Bacon in two steps? Let me try it. Well, Michael Kors is a fragrance by a New York designer. So is Sarah Jessica Parker (you know, she has that clothing range now, called Bitten), who just happened to star in the iconic ’80s film Footloose, starring Kevin Bacon. I think I’m onto something here.
