This week, it is rumored that Allergan is expected to sign a major deal with Nancy Pelosi to be the new BOTOX spokeswoman. The deal is in recognition of Pelosi's willingness to be seen in public looking like a cross between Michael Jackson and Zsa Zsa Gabor.
This is a terrible move on the part of Allergan. The least they could do is team up with somebody reputable – some A-lister like Joan Rivers. Associating BOTOX with Pelosi is likely to shore up their brand with the MoveOn crowd, but this really isn’t the image they should be going after.
Meanwhile, in other Allergan news, the company announced approval from the FDA for Juvederm XC, a dermal filler that also contains the anesthetic lidocaine so patients have less discomfort. House Speaker Pelosi is dying to get her hands on this one.
