Collecting Regular-Sized Colognes Wearing Miniature Clothing

Just for anyone who thought Jay's cologne thread wasn't quite weird enough...

Three Christmases ago, two of my friends bought me the Alan Cumming fragrance. When I first unwrapped it, my reaction was obviously something like "WTF? Why would you buy this for me??" But then I opened the little box and saw that they had dressed up the bottle in a miniature version of Alan's signature emcee costume from "Cabaret." Seriously.

I don't use the cologne or the complimentary soaps because they smell pretty horrible in my opinion (you'll notice that the bottle is almost full, three years later), but I do keep this bottle on display. Sorry about the quality of the photos: I had to use my phone because I left my camera on the 2 Train. (PM me if you see it!)

Your friends must either really, really like you or have a LOT of free time on their hands.

That's so cute and clever.

If you don't want that cologne on your hands, you can pour it in a water bottle and ship it my way. :P Keeping the cute bottle, of course.

Ha! That's hysterical. The bottle should come that way.

I like your friends. What did they give you two Christamases ago and what did they give you last Christmas?

And what did you give them?
