Is this name necessary?

Just saw a review of a new Tom Ford lipstick on Temptalia -- the shade is named F**king Fabulous. Why -- just why?

@RedRedHair Tom also has a fragrance with a similar name. I believe he graves attention. Sad.

@RedRedHairKind of like "orgasm" on a blush....a sign of the times. I don't pay much attention to it, but he may regret that name as I'm sure there will be some who won't buy it because of it. Then there might be those who would buy it due to the name. Clever advertising (which I'm sure was the whole point)...here we are discussing it!

BTW...I just took a peek at the lipstick color and I don't think it is so "Fkg" fabulous.

Is it necessary? No. Will it sell? Absolutely. Will I be a buyer? Probably not my color,

I am so tired of the F bomb. I will not buy any product with that name as it offends me so much. It's all over youtube....even among the beauty vloggers. I immediately leave and don't go back to those channels. If you can't think of a better word than that to describe or sell something....I think you better review your vocabulary and think hard. That kind of language does not get anyone ahead in life. In fact, quite the opposite.

@phoenixbrd That's true; however, can you imagine googling that name -- yikes! Or walking up to the counter and asking for that shade -- LOL. Better yet -- receiving a compliment and being asked the name of your lipstick -- LOL.

It's not necessary, but seems to be trending.

I saw some John Hardy jewelry with the same wording on it. I suppose it is shocking to some people and a day as usual for others.

Glad that I'm not a prude. My life is a lot happier.

@RedRedHair It is the culture of todays youth/ younger generation who use this word and worse like drinking water..... it is just in their vocabulary... go on Face Book and see the trash and filthy things people say there. It is only shocking to those who never use that language.

@SeaMaiden Maybe they don't know what the "F" word means.

Why, just why is right ! Its not so much that I am offended, its more that I think it is stupid. Does anyone actually think, what a cool name, I am going to buy it !?! Well maybe so, who knows. Remember the lip gloss, secsee mother... sold on HSN. And better than Secs mascara. So silly.

i dont use that language but i will say it no longer shocks me.

There really is a difference between cleverly risque marketing and gratuitously trashy marketing... Unfortunately, that distinction seems to have been increasingly lost somewhere along the way... I'm no stranger to four letter words, but really, this is a stupid name for a lipstick...

I have worked in a career that was mostly men, and I don't recall that type of language being used around me.

However, more to the point, I see no reason for beauty products to have names that refer to se*ual acts. It's absurd.

I think it's pretty dumb, but I am not offended. It happens to be one of my favorite words.

I think it’s classless. I am not a prude but was raised with higher values. It just isn’t necessary.
