Have you ever purchased something because someone famous had done so?

Asked by Facade (22937points) November 20th, 2009

If yes, What was it?
Did you do so solely because of the celebrity?
Have you done the complete opposite, and purposefully stayed away from something a celebrity had?

I ask because I bought my fall/winter perfume because I read in a magazine that Gabrielle Union loved it. I like her, so I bought it online my man bought it for me. And I wasn’t disappointed. It’s very unique, with traces of cocoa =)
I’m wondering if anyone else does this.

I purchased an illegal dog fighting ring because I liked Michael Vick.

JUST KIDDING!

If anything, I’ve bought make up or something because they said that’s what worked for them. >.<

Well, I always get really excited when shopping online for things that celebrities I admire are selling. I not only have purchased something because someone famous had done so, but I also have purchased something just because it had their name on it. Ex) I buy t-shirts with my favorite singer’s name on it. Or, I buy online jewelry that apparently someone famous had worn before (identical one, not the exact one). Pretty much, I probably would’ve never come across it or want it as much as I did if not for that particular celebrity.

No, I haven’t, and I hope I never do.

nope, I buy things I like for me, not because someone famous bought it. I did however buy the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer Pro, but only because it was the best one rated over all. I still haven’t killed it, and I am hard on machinery.

Nope. I actually have no idea how I would find out what a certain celebrity purchased.

I’ve read a lot of interviews with celebrities, but can’t recall any plugging a particular item.

@cprevite That’s true. In this case, there was a product section, and it said, “worn by Gabrielle Union!” or something.

I’d like to buy a condom worn by Brandon Fraser, but one he actually wore, not one just like it.~

No.

I buy things first and then celebrities buy them after they know that I’ve used and loved them. “Oh, Darling Rhad loves this…it must be smashing!” And of course, it is.
