And felt conned? Or been too embarrassed to tell anyone about it, (your children for example) that you were sucked in because you believed the spokesperson was honest, based on a role they played on TV? Like Victoria Principal (sp?) skin care products?
 
I'm sure I have, I've been known to be gullible. But I can't think of anything in particular. Maybe........I bought a coffee maker based on Joe DiMaggio's star power in the commercial. LOL? Long time ago.
 
I don't have faith in celebrity endorsements. They are making a lot of money by hawking that stuff. Maybe it works, maybe not. But if a celebrity endorses it you can be sure that a very large percentage of what you are paying for it goes to the celebrity and also to the TV ads and little for the manufacture of the products. I am old enough to remember when Joe Namath was selling pantyhose, and wore a pair as a "celebrity" endorsement. I think Orange County and Hollywood have the highest rates for plastic surgery of anywhere in the US, they don't need to give so much credit for any of the products that they are selling. Good genes and clean and healthy lifestyle probably does more than anything else for the skin.
 
That Advanced Radiance make-up Christie Brinkley used to plug. It was dry, chalky, and masklike and made my face look older. Then I heard rumors about her collagen injections, etc.... Wish I'd heard them before I wasted $12.00 on that pot of goo.
 
No because the celebrity endorsers are there for a pay check and you have to realize that. I also don't trust what politicians. They're in it for a paycheck of a different sort. Good luck to you.
