What’s Up, Avon?

Have any of you noticed that Avon has gone celebrity? I admit I have never tried the products, nor do I know anyone who uses them. (If you have, ShopTalkers, I want to know about it!) But Avon is sexing up its image. With celebrities such as global ambassador Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Hudson, and Patrick Dempsey (his fragrance, Unscripted, launches in November 2008) in cahoots with the direct marketing beauty brand, the future (hopefully) looks bright. All I know is I just received a calendar-size press kit with Patrick Demsey’s mug staring right at me. If only I had a locker to put up these pictures! (Ah, to be in sixth grade again.) How is it that this man keeps getting more smokin’ hot with age?
