Blair to launch 'Blair Foundation' cosmetics range
8 Jan 2007
Tony Blair is to launch a range of cosmetics upon leaving office, DeadBrain can reveal. The first of those, Blair Foundation, has already been developed and was discovered by our intrepid reporter during a bored afternoon searching the internet.Future releases are understood to include a concealer, given the codename 'WMD', and a range of aftershave. Early versions of the latter product were found to have the side effect of sending dogs berserk after being tested by David Blunkett, who has since made a full recovery.
Mr Blair is not the first politician to use his name to cash in. Former President Bill Clinton famously lent his name to a dry-cleaning product after leaving office, while Boris Yeltsin had his own best-selling brand of vodka. Not all politicians have been as successful, however. A range of hair care products launched by Boris Johnson after his first resignation were rapidly withdrawn after Trading Standards called them a "severe fire risk".
Downing Street declined to comment, but a policeman standing outside the door of Number 10 told DeadBrain that he had had a full head of hair until he used Mr Johnson's shampoo.
