I can’t say that I know much about “fashion” or “signature scents” or “having enough money to buy luxury name brands” — but what I do know is sexy queer people being sexy, and so please allow me to present Elliot Page, A$AP Rocky, and Julia Garner in their new ad campaign for Gucci Guilty.
What we have here is a California ranch-style home, like what Mike from the Brady Bunch designed for his giant family to live in, but instead of six kids, a married couple, a shaggy dog, and a maid, we have a throuple who enjoy spending their time maintaining the lawn, reading the newspaper, having endless conversations about the Criterion Collection, nuzzling all over the furs in their closets like a bunch of kittens, splashing each other gently with Gucci perfume, and canoodling in various sexy ways. The Harptones croon about how Life Is But a Dream while A$AP Rocky gently brushes Elliot Page’s bangs off his forehead, and then spritzes him down with some more Gucci spice. I believe A$AP Rocky learned this move from Carol Aird.
It’s all very dreamy and surreal and hot hot hot. See for yourself.
#Julia Garner, @TheElliotPage, and @asvpxrocky co-create a world of open-hearted bliss in the new #GucciGuilty campaign. In this space of imagination, they celebrate the countless iterations of love. More https://t.co/DQ5xz0ZLcb

According to Gucci, the scent of Guilty, is “an ode to self-acceptance, friendship, and love in all its forms… The campaign invites each of us ‘home,’ a metaphorical place where we are free to accept who we are and let our authentic selves be seen.” It was shot by Glen Luchford and seems like an homage to 2003’s The Dreamers, another film about a throuple, but a Parisian one, which I think the French call a “Merci Beaucoup.”
“We all know how I feel about Elliot and this is making me feel disrespectful… respectfully,” Autostraddle Culture Editor Shelli Nicole said of the campaign.
“I always bring a perfume bottle when snuggling up with someone,” Autostraddle A+ and Fundraising Director Nico Hall added. “SPRITZ SPRITZ. They love it.”
This isn’t the only gay thing Gucci’s been up to right lately. They shut down a SoCal store for Niecy Nash’s birthday so Jessica Betts could host a private party full of shopping, cake, smooching, and general wife worship.
I took the Gucci Signature Scent Quiz on the website and it said my best fragrance match is “Gucci Guilty Parfum Pour Homme, 90ml, eau de parfum,” which I think means “woody musky tomboy.” My French isn’t perfect, but yeah, I think that’s right.
Anyway, Elliot Page bi vibes, huh?
Please leave your review of the new throuple film, Gucci Guilty, in the comments.
i hope gucci is paying Elliott Page & ASAP Rocky buckets and buckets of money they can use to fund ownvoices art & bailouts and stuff (sry i don’t know Julia Garner) and also Gucci should pay Autostraddle lots of money for bringing new audiences to their website. omg maybe Gucci can pay AS buckets of money to have a QUEER version of their scent quiz!!!
it can come with explainers, like what is ambery?
I own/run a perfume store & honestly Gucci scents are overrated. Nice to see Elliot in their ads here & interesting it looks like he was making out with Asap, which does that mean Asap is also bi?
He’s literally just acting, like people tend to do in commercials
It’s people acting in a commercial playing characters, that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily reflective of what people are like in real life, any more than acting in a movie or TV show is.
In any event, as far as anybody knows, Rocky’s
Oops, hit send too soon. What I was saying is that as far as anybody knows, in real life, Rocky’s straight.
Right?! …people are cast in ads to portray a certain vibe and they chose Rocky to give off a bi vibe. Of course a man making out with a man doesn’t make them bi in real life BUTTT I would still v much like to know whether Rocky is mayyybe a little bit flavoursome? A little bit more gay-jacent than previously assumed? It would be lovely. Also would take away the nagging feeling I had in this that the producers of said ad chose a trans man to be part of it because they thought it would land softer than an ad with two cis men.
Loving it 🔥🔥🔥 I… don’t really care about perfume but maybe I’ll start??
i’ll be in my bunk
What movie do I knife this song from? Is it in Clue?
I meant “know this song from” but I guess knife is appropriate if it is Clue.
elliot is dreamy AF in this 😍
I needed a summer aesthetic and I think I found it. Now just two find two dazzling attractive people to frolic in a MCM house with.
the Gods must be in a good mood, a heavenly gift.
