Chelsea Handler Has an Idea for a Fragrance & Issa Rae Is All About It
She’s outspoken, opinionated and possibly a fledgling beauty mogul, but don’t offer Chelsea Handler just any big-bucks project.
When the TV host talks career advice, ’shes adamant that she doesn’t work just for the paycheck. Instead, she only takes jobs that excite her. For example, she’d never hawk a fragrance.
“I really try not to do anything ever for the paycheck. I have to care about it and be able to get behind it psychologically. So I’m not going to be doing a perfume ad—that doesn’t excite me‚” Handler said during a LinkedIn panel on success, alongside Insecure star Issa Rae.
“Luckily, no perfume companies are knocking on my door‚” Handler joked. She then paused and reconsidered her stance, saying she did have one fragrance idea. A scent she’d name Regret. And the advertising campaign? Handler humorously explained‚ “It would just be me walking out of some guy’s apartment.”
Co-panelist Rae joined in on the fun as the pair went on to discuss how important failure is in the creative process. She then paused and told Handler with the utmost sincerity‚ “I would buy your fragrance.”
