Khloe And Lamar Nude In New Ad Launching 'Unbreakable' Fragrance

Khloe Kardashian, you naughty girl!

What can we say....Advertising pros will tell you that sex sells. Well, we're not so sure after seeing Khloe and husband Lamar Odom stripping all the way down, to promote their new unisex fragrance called, 'Unbreakable.'

Folks, the couple is indeed nude, naked, without clothes in the ad, caught here on YouTube. We think it's tacky and pretty arrogant, in our humble opinion.

We do like the idea of a unisex fragrance, however. The great Calvin Klein introduced us all to his own, CK One back in 1994. And that was big beauty news during that promotional blitz. The designer no longer sells CK One.

It's not easy developing a unisex fragrance, or one that appeals to both women and men. But maybe Khloe and Lamar have a super scent in Unbreakable. We'll just have to wait and see how sales go. The fragrance has just debuted.

Was the nudity necessary? Apparently, the couple loves to see themselves naked and wants to share that, and oh yeah, their new fragrance, with the world.

We wish the happy and attractive couple all the best, but think the nude Khloe and Lamar is a bit much, in addition to the married pair's own new reality show coming soon.

There are many other ways to sell fragrance in a sexy, even sexual way, but this is just too tacky. What do you think? Are we just being a prude?

2011 Grammys Go Green With Eyeliner Edgy Modern Look

Green eyeliner/green eyeshadow was the hot edgy makeup trend at last night's Grammy Awards 2011. It was glittery green for Nicki Minaj with her scorching hot pink lips. Or it was a colorful green blend for Katy Perry. And Ciara was rocking a green lined undereye.

Okay, maybe Nicki's makeup presentation was a bit over-the-top, but then again, we're talking about Nicki Minaj, and she's never been one to shy away from grabbing the spotlight. So if it were glittery green turquoise, then that's what we got.

Meantime, you can wear green eyeliner and green eye shadow. You can go dark green like Katy Perry. Or you can soften the look with a nude palette like Ciara did last evening along with a teal-colored eyeliner.

When it comes to green makeup, a little goes a long way. And we like how Ciara used a subtle touch of liner and shadow under the eyes.

Soft is the key when it comes to pulling off green eyeshadow and green liner. Allow your eyes to be the focus. By the way, green and brown eyes look delicious together. But makeup pros agree that any eye color and skin tone can wear green quite beautifully, especially if it is in the teal shade.
