He liked another one with a guy and surfboard a while ago and the girl was totally happy about that. Think about it, Simon likes one of your photos. A dream for everybody.
Tanja, I don't think we will be very lucky to see something like the ads in Paris somewhere in Germany ...I keep watching out for it though.
What I saw in North Germany is his photo in a shop window selling Longines watches, but only a small photo. But it was a nice surprise, I often look at that window when I'm there and usually they always had Kate Winslet.
I always check for Gentlemen Only but not many shops sell it. I was lucky to get a bottle for my Dad when I was on vacation. I usually have to order online. |

Tinamarianne, that's really sad. In our district town I saw Givenchy by Müller. But it was very hidden and without any pics  |

I already checked the Müller in my hometown, but nothing.
I always look when I'm somewhere like this  |

I'm in Switzerland this week and I saw UGG shoes in a shop window that look a lot like the ones Simon is wearing in the Givenchy spot. Have to check again when I go back to town. I also saw Gentlemen Only Intense with Simon on the package. The one I bought for my Dad didn't have Simon. I'm really thinking about getting it for me...or is it too crazy to buy a men's perfume? I couldn't control myself again when I saw it and had to say "oooohhhhhh"....and I'm sure my eyes began to shine...but I wore sunglasses thankfully. I'm going to Interlaken next week and since there are so many shops with Longines I hope I see a photo there . I can't believe how happy something like this makes me ...I mean if it was a new photo but this are all pics I already know. Just crazy, me  |

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?!?

Quote Sun (  ) 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.  |
