Do You Want Another Austin Powers Movie?

Becky Kirsch — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 11:39:07 PDT

It's been 14 years since Mike Myers unleashed Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery on us; is it too late to add another chapter to the franchise? Rumors have been flying that New Line is hoping to make a fourth film in the series, though it's still unclear whether or not Mike Myers is on board - or if the film will ever actually go into production.

Though everything is still up in the air, I'm curious about how you feel about the idea in general. I'm still a huge fan of the original Austin Powers movie, but I was a bit fatigued with so many different Myers characters by Goldmember (just to refresh your memory, there was Austin, Dr. Evil, Fat Bastard, and Goldmember). Myers is also 48 now, and I'm skeptical about how audiences would react to a 50-year-old Austin. Would he have kids? Would he still have a PYT for a partner? As we wait for details, how do you feel about another Austin Powers movie?

Fake Fragrance Showdown: Designer Imposters vs Instyle Fragrances

BellaSugar — Thu, 29 May 2008 07:00:28 PDT

Fragrance knockoffs have been around since the '80s, when Designer Imposters released Primo, a knockoff of Giorgio Beverly Hills. Now there's competition in the form of Instyle fragrances - no relation to In Style. Both promise to deliver more eau for your dough, but which one comes out on top?

	Designer Imposters	Instyle	Advantage
Packaging	A brash melee of clashing colors adorns each box of perfume.	Minimalist; a typographer's nightmare of competing font weights and serifs.	Designer Imposters. At least they put a little effort into it.
Sales pitch	If you like [Actual Perfume], you'll love our knockoff!	An impression of [Actual Perfume]	Instyle. The writing makes it sound more artistic.
Best perfume name	With Exposé, Babe, and Yeah Baby, DI allows you to recall a '90s girl band, a movie about a pig, and Austin Powers.	Nothing! No names for these "impressions." Lame.	Designer Imposters, obviously.
Price	$9.49/ounce	$11.99/3.4 ounces	Instyle
But how do they smell?	Close, but no cigar. The scent is unmistakably cheaper than the original.	Pretty much the same, although the knockoff of SJP's Lovely was somewhat convincing.	Instyle
