Deodorant and Gender

Yesterday morning, I noticed that the label on my Lady Speed Stick was a sticker. It peeled off easily. I could put on my own label, I thought. Then this morning, Zoom came up with that same exact idea and I realized that I'd better do it fast before the idea loses momentum.

I'm happy with my re-branding, but it is at times like this that I wish I blogged under an alias. I'm sure that if I had a less inhibited alter-ego, I could have come up with something far more masculine for my sweat-control.

(Do you see why I say she's a genius? It's that juxtaposition thing - the binder clip is the paradigm of a functional object that people don't notice and she has used it so that it's only function is to be noticed. Sheer brilliance.)
