The ads for Jessica Simpson's new perfume, Fancy, feature the blonde singer/ actress writhing in bed wearing nothing but a stain sheet. You'd think the question she is asking is, "Do you fancy ME?"
"With Fancy, I wanted to create a pretty fragrance, one that I could be just as comfortable wearing on the red carpet or every day with my favorite jeans," said Simpson. "For me Fancy is just that; fancy. This is a special fragrance-personal, whimsical, playful and romantic with a heart of gardenia, an essence I truly cherish."
Fancy is officially launched on August 15, 2008.
Jessica has repeatedly used this bed / sofa 'come hither' pose in many of her photoshoots and music promos (check second row of the gallery). Hopefully she can come up with a new art direction for her upcoming country music album. The first single of this new country direction is, "Come On Over."
