I like a couple of her movies....the first Iron Man at least, and her 1 line in Hook. Maybe there are others. But she is just so bonkers I really just see crazy now when I read her name or see her face. And no. I would not.

Question #1: No. Gwyneth Paltrow seems to have an over-inflated opinion of herself. And of her lady bits.
Question #2: I don't have that answer.

I was going to read your link, but decided I don't care enough to do so. No, I wouldn't spend $75.00 on any candle; probably not $5.00 either. And I don't pay attention to flaky celebrities.

Does it come with a Letter of Authenticity? You might need this if you get an Antique Roadshow down the road! Provenance and all that! ETA I didn’t open link either. Was afraid there might be a smell sample.

I agree with MPL. I wouldn't pay that much for any candle. I also don't want anything that smells like poonani burning in the house.

Or she has just found that she has a very special ability to dupe very stupid people into giving her money for very stupid and useless products.

I didn't think it was her bits, her site is just selling a candle that is reminiscent of someone's hoo ha. Or it's a joke. Or something like that. And I don't buy candles in general, so no.

she says it's a joke, that the first effort actually did smell like her vagina, and they adjusted the scent from there.
But she does market a lot of stuff for vaginas.

On a candle that smells like Gwyneth Paltrow's hoo-hah?
Tea Rose and Tuna? Hibiscus and Halibut? Freesia and Flounder?

Paltrow's advice is often dangerous. She is not to be trusted.

Paltrow's advice is often dangerous. She is not to be trusted. But she's a celebrity! They are far more trustworthy than people with medical degrees or PhDs. Those people are all part of the conspiracy. I got my manifesto the day I graduated.

Cause women have been brainwashed and shamed for years to think our lady parts are these disgusting offensive things that one must make more pleasing for men. Sadly still a huge market for products despite ample evidence that using these products causes the very thing they claim to prevent. Quite clever because now you'll buy MORE out of desperation and keep the cycle going.

I did see where someone said they would pay $75 for Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda as Frankie and Gracie but no way for Paltrow. They wanted an aged scent.

The damage that chemical caused was horrific. Yet with some sly rebranding it's still on the market making millions.
