If you aspire to the fearless glamour of the pneumatic transsexual Amanda Lepore, who famously posed naked in a transparent Plexiglas bubble in the center of Miami’s Setai Hotel swimming pool for the launch of photographer David LaChapelle’s book "Artists and Prostitutes," the new fragrance Amanda, created by the perfumer Christophe Laudamie, is for you. Containing a splash of Cristal Champagne and presented in a Swarovski crystal-studded 4.2-ounce atomizer, below, the $950 scent is being put out by Artware Editions, the design entrepreneurs. Lepore herself credits the savvy lensman LaChapelle for giving her just the right, ahem, exposure: "When he had me go out naked, the art world really took notice."
