> [@Try2B\_Comprehensive](#): > > I’ve never used the poll feature, but this question probably isn’t worth it anyway. Would people consider $75 for this candle to be a bigger ripoff if it doesn’t actually smell like Paltrow’s vagina, or… if it does? :eek: For some it depends on whether or not you would get to prove it to yourself. ---

Not to be left behind, R&B singer Erykah Badu is now planning to market vagina-scented incense.

What a Bargain! I’m sure her vag is worth Twice that much…! But wait, what’s this? Out of stock and right before Valentines Day? Or is it…? Could Gwyneth Paltrow just be cleverly re-tooling her factory? Maybe this summer, she’ll re-introduce the line along with a line of positive reinforcement multi-speed candle holders?

Gwyneth might be full of surprises, but was referring to the scent. Maybe she’s more of a pescatarian. It’s still a pricy candle.
