Tom Ford for Men Soap on a Rope

I admit it, I have impulse control issues. When something strikes my fancy, I obsess, obsess, and obsess until the idea is physically manifested, and my idealust is satisfied.

I had read in the latest Details that soap-on-a-rope was in. And that über homosexual designer Tom Ford released his new fragrance Tom Ford for Men in this form. The idea seemed to elicit the 70’s, and in turn, dirty nasty porn sex in showers between guys with bad hair and mustaches.

I just had to get it.

The magazine mentioned Bloomie’s, so I went over to the one at Lenox Square. Now, unfortunately, the perfume girls had no idea about what I was looking for, and one girl kept pushing this one fragrance that tingled my nostrils in the wrong way. I did, however, pick up a bottle of Antidote , that fragrance by fashion duo Viktor & Rolf.

After Bloomie’s, I headed over to Neiman Marcus, where the nice lady behind the perfume counter told me that they don’t have it “yet”. Macy’s was also a no, which was no surprise, but I decided to check out, as a last resort, Sephora.

Success!

So I now have my soap. I destroyed my loofah and my body wash, and now enjoy soap on a rope by Tom Ford.

Idealust satisfied. Now I feel more masculine whenever I take a shower.
