    I did not know that makeup set existed, and now I absolutely think less of MUFE. :(

      I know, that really bummed me out! MUFE has such great products, they didn't need to jump on this bandwagon! I'd expect this from MAC because they collaborate on anything with a license.

      Oh I know. MAC might as well just quit doing makeup entirely and just sell various branded empty packages, of which they only make like a hundred so they're impossible to get.

    Please, let's make soap as a gift for others a not-thing.

    Your soap isn't going to make me into some fantasy man who wants to commit SEXY acts of violence against you. It's just going to make me angry and violent in a "goddammit now I need to go punch my heavy bag because I have shitty smelling soap I need to use" way.

    Don't buy soap for others. Please.

      Not even if it's really excellent soap that exfoliates and smells delightful?

      Guess I'm going to have to smell like ocean waves and think of a different anniversary gift for Mrs. Footsteps.

      If I want to make Fellow angry and as violent as he gets, I propose we go somewhere and subject him to LA traffic.

    I have some serious, snooty side-eye for anyone who wants Christian Grey to be real, and I'm not sorry.

      I want Christian Grey to be real so that I can throw him into a volcano. You can throw a book into a volcano but it isn't the same.

    Furthermore, let us all be thankful that Christian Grey is not real, because the fictional Christian Grey is a creepy, abusive stalker who gaslighted and raped his girlfriend, and we already have enough terrible dudes like that in the world.

      This should be the top comment. Why aren't more people talking about how completely fucked it is that so many women apparently find that abusive jackhole of a character appealing.

    I get it, E.L. James' writing is so expressive and realistic that perhaps Christian Grey truly did come alive for you in your imagination.

    I'm honestly not sure if this is shade or if you've just never have the misfortune of reading Ms. James' execrable prose.

      LOL. I think Christian Grey came alive in people's imagination ONLY, mainly because of the poor writing.

      Kind of the same reason "everyone" related to the heroine in Twilight, who was really a blank slate.

    What is 50 Shades of Grey about this product? It's just.... neutral. How does makeup that is supposed to be "SEXSEXSEX" not have red lipstick and liquid liner at the very least?

      It's neutral because that's all the Anastasia is. Bland and neutral. Besides if she went out in red lipstick Christian would probably call her a whore and then stalk her even more to find out who she's seeing.

    FSOG is so awful. The actors have no chemistry and the writing in the books was just awful. If you want good BDSM erotica, try the Sleeping Beauty trilogy by Anne Rice (written under the pen name A. N. Roquelaure), and if you want a good BDSM movie, there's always Secretary which came out before any of the FS books, which is now being remarketed (brilliantly, might I add) because of the fact that the male protagonist is E. Edward Grey. That's right, Christian's not even the first Mr. Grey of BDSM in the past generation of movies. And with James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal it's a hell of a lot better, not to mention there's onscreen sex and kink, an actual friggin chemistry. ;)

      Secretary, awwww yiss. Avengers 2 is going to be a squishy movie for me once that purr starts up.

      The Marketplace series by Laura Antoniou is my go-to for quality kink reading: http://lantoniou.com/ 6th book just out!

    Isn't 50 Shades of Grey fan fiction? I'm confused by this whole mediocre phenomenon.

      Apparently if a piece of fan fiction has enough people masturbating to it for a long enough period of time, it becomes legit.

      I scrolled down through the pics first before reading the article, and I thought it was some homemade cheese that someone was selling, perhaps through Etsy, that I then assumed was meant to mimic some cheese-on-body bondage scene that might exist in the book since I haven't read it. I can't tell you whether it was better or worse that it's actually soap.

    If Christian Grey were real, he would probably be my ex boyfriend. My gas lighting, emotionally abusive, careless, self-centered, childish, riddled with anger and emotional problems, into kinky rough sex ex boyfriend. I only miss the sex.

      Yup (except I miss nothing about him). I hate this movie/book so much. I want to just scream that being controlled for 100% of your life is NOT FUN OR SEXY AT ALL.

      What's interesting to me, coming from an area with a large population of trophy wives, is how confining and subtly abusive these relationships can be. I see beautiful women who are completely dedicated to ensuring that the money-making machine that is their husband and the perfect image surrounding them are maintained. No opinions allowed. Just look beautiful, take care of business, and enjoy the lifestyle until your expiration date. It still goes on.
