Don't worry Tina you are not alone in feeling a bit "crazy " sometimes where Simon is concerned. In my local Boots chemist they have a huge poster of Simon in the first Givenchy ad and I just cannot help myself from standing there and drinking him in !! one of these days someone will ask who he is ( I just don't think he is well known in England) and I shall have great pleasure in telling them "Simon Baker of course". Fantastic actor and obviously you don't know what you are missing! Or words to that effect! Mad I know but hey I am happy with it.Go on and buy yourself some Givenchy ,Tina, it's gorgeous ( just like our Simon) and a lot of women choose to wear men's cologne over women's perfume. I much prefer it and often wear my husbands Givenchy ( he doesn't mind) !! |

Deedee and tina I'm every bit as weird as you. Every time I go into Debenhams I take a little spray from the test bottle. They don't have large photos but a tiny little stand with a black plastic umbrella and the image of Simon drenched in the rain. |

You are right DS, but it feels so good  This crazyness makes my life brighter.
And Gentlemen only smells wonderful. And this nice photo from the GO Intense shooting. I need to have this package. I have the package with the imbrella but that is just not a favorite.
I guess you get to see Simon a lot more in France in shop windows, airports, train stations etc. For me it's always so special to see him somewhere in a shop since it's so rare. |

I bought a bottle for myself. I have it in my living room. Every once in awhile, I spray a whiff. My cats aren't appreciative but I didn't buy it for them. And yeah, I am officially a cat lady. Disgusting to admit but I can't stand seeing homeless animals. They love me….
When I bought the Mens Only, the woman helping me (Macy's) told me she had met him on a web conference. Said he was delightful! (which we already know he is but it is always nice to hear he impresses non-fans).
Hmmmm…time for fragrance
OH!! I forgot to mention!! YEARS ago I asked a record store (remember them??) for the Paul Simon poster they had hanging when they were done with it. I still have that poster!! ASK!! ASK!! ASK!! If I had a Simon poster nearby, it would be MINE when they got done with it!!

I tried this once with the Longines poster with the horse at a jeweller's shop but the answer was, that they had to return it, when they are done with it. And the lady sad with a sigh, that she had loved to have the one with George Clooney (I don't know what watch that was), but they wouldn't even let her, the shop owner, have it. Or she is right, or she is "if I couldn't have Clooney, YOU won't have Baker". 
Well, who would want Clooney, if one could have Simon, I ask you. I mean, honestly?!?

Tu l'as dit Bouffie (one of my french favorite expression )
I TOTALLY agree Sun !!!!! 
Postscript : I bought a bootle of Gentlemen Only and I wear it sometimes, the perfume is discrete and not too masculine, I find. |

I have my own bottle now too 
I went to the shop today and bought the package with Simon. It was next to where you have to pay your stuff. I saw it's still there and grabbed it and put it on the table and said "I want THIS!" One of the two sales women standing there asked if it was the right size and me just "YES". I know it was the only one with the right package.
I already bought both GO and Intense for my Dad, but this I keep for myself. It really smells so good. Sprayed it in my room and on me

tinamarianne I think perhaps you've overdone it. I can smell the wonderful scent from here and I'm in Scotland.  |

It's because it's rather windy at the moment.

Haha, Tassie. Yes I might have sprayed a bit much here in my hotelroom in Switzerland. Guess my neighbor here might smell it too, maybe the whole hotel. But it is such a good fragrance. |

Uninteresting article about a new non-Simon ANZ New Zealand ad campaign, but it does mention that Simon "will return for more ads in the future, with the TBWA creative director saying that he remains an important part of the brand."

(Hope you had fun at your meet-up Tanja) |

Thank you Fran! We had much fun together! Wish that other Mentalistas and Simon fans would meet each other too. |
