Lady Gaga Fame Perfume Update

As you may or may not know, I am a huge Gaga fan/monster.

It should thus be no surprise that I am greatly anticipating the release of her first perfume, Fame.


The perfume was released a week or so ago overseas, but is yet to be released in Australia. The official release date here is a bit shady, so I went on my own investigation.

I'm a regular at the Marc Jacobs perfume corner at the Myer Centre in Rundle Mall, so I went to my favourite little sales woman and asked a few cheeky questions.


The lady let me know that *THE PERFUME IS IN AUSTRALIA ALREADY* by mentioning (under the table) that it smells amazing. She said that the staff have smelt it for "training purposes".

I also grilled her about the release day, which she said will be *most likely* 15 September!


You can all thank me in 15 days, when you're all smelling great and looking fiiiine.
