A blogger friend, Sodapop, recently decided to become an Avon rep. I thought I'd check out the online store and see if there was anything I could buy to show a little support.
First off, I was very surprised that they had a men's section at all. Who knew? Secondly, they have some neat gadgets, ala Sharper Image, and I had no idea their product catalog was that big.
My final surprise was the body wash that they had. Derek Jeter's Body Wash. Now, I don't know who Derek Jeter is, but I think he's some type of athlete, and it's a ballsy move to sell a body wash that is reminiscent of a nasty smelling athlete. So I just had to try some.
Here is the video of my experience. And if you're looking for any products or gadgets or just shopping for little gift, why not go check out Soda's Avon Store?
(Here's a link if you can't see it embedded).
The prognosis for Derek Jeter Body Wash is pretty decent. It smells a bit like Brut or one of those Axe body washes, but it's much milder, so you don't get that overpowering musk like you took a bath in Old Spice. I lean towards fruitier and chocolatey body washes usually, so I don't know if it's exactly what I'd like to get on a regular basis, but I'm pretty happy with it. You should give it a try.
(This was not a paid advertisement. I just wanted an excuse to use my video camera for a video post and take it in the shower.)

I think Derek Jeter is an ice skater. Or a sumo wrestler.
So he smells like schweaty balls, I would imagine. Therefore what Britt said was a compliment...you don't smell like Derek Jeter.
DEREK JETER IS THE SHORTSTOP FOR THE NY YANKEES.
I am imagining that NYC Watch Dog is doing this right now
As you were.
Comments by Stephanie
I loved it! Especially the perfect music.
Derek Jeter is a dick.
I am assuming it doesn't smell like dick.
Comments by Sybil Law
Have you tried playing Baseball? Maybe you are a better player now.
Comments by Amanda
I think Derek Jeter dated Mariah Carey a few years ago. So I assume he smells like skank.
Comments by Jay
heh. you said ballsy
Comments by whall
I can't believe I just watched you shower. And was entertained. I need to buy a life.
Comments by Gwen
Britt cracks me up. :)
Comments by Janna
I'm so laughing at Jay's comment right now.
Oh, yeah. I did have a real comment... I can't believe we've all showered with you now.
Comments by Winter
Such appropriate music!
And thank you. It's been so long since I've showered with someone.
Comments by penny
I don't think I have ever watched anyone take a shower before. Your mamma would be proud, washing behind your ears and everything.
So stray dogs smelling your balls now? Apparently that is a sign of good body wash.
Comments by Kelley
Wow... that was... um... entertaining to say the least...
Comments by DutchBitch
i haven't smelled Brut since .... have i ever smelled Brut. do they still make Brut?
Comments by Crys
Great commercial. I went and bought a bottle of the blue in hopes that someday I will smell like a multimillion dollar star of New York!...and now that the neighbors think that I listen to "I Touch MySelf" when I first wake up should make the next block party more interesting...it's a Win - Win for everyone!
You ROCK!
Comments by RockDog
I feel like I should AT LEAST buy you dinner now!

That was fucking awesome hahaha Thanks for doing that! :)
RockDog - let me know how you like it after getting it :)
Comments by sodapop
Why did you edit out the part where I told you to get the fuck out of my office while I was trying to work?
Comments by Miss Britt
GO YANKEES!!!!!
I need to order some Skin So Soft. Great bug repellent. And I'm disturbed at my daughter dancing around to you in the shower.
Comments by Maria
Strangest. WorkEnvironment. Evah. *giggling*
Comments by Turnbaby
I know what Derek Jeter smells like.
He smells like me.
He's an Axe man.
Comments by NYCWD
The shower left me highly entertained.
Comments by Lisa
When I think about you, I wash myself.
Comments by Suebob
Did you wash your JUNK and THEN your HEAD and BEARD?
You might want to reconsider the order of your washing lest you get crabs in your beard.
Comments by A Whole Lot of Nothing
I hope to Jebus that my boss never, NEVER, ever asks me to smell him.
Comments by Dragon
I watched you taking a shower...and somehow I feel dirty.
But in a good way. lol
Comments by Evil Genius
That was so hot.
Comments by Robin
After perusing the comments, is it just me or do Amanda and Sybil Law look like the same woman? Or sisters?
Anyway, what I wanted to say was the shower scene doesn't count because we can't be sure you washed Mr. Peterman and his associates.
Do over.
Comments by Stephanie
Blog Comment Taboo: Comment has nothing to do with your post... BUT, had to comment because, I shit you not, I had a dream last night that I was in a grocery store parking lot and I passed a beat up, ghetto-ass cadillac with a license plate that read: MISS BRITT (I know, too many characters... it was a dream) and so I screeched to a halt, hung my head out the window and there you were with MISS BRITT. And I was like hey! Miss Britt! Avitable! and you guys were all DUDE! Undomestic Diva! and then I woke up.
Anyhoo.
Comments by Undomestic Diva
I think Jeter might be an athlete of some sort. I lack the give-a-shit-about-sport gene, but that sounds right.
I think he might own a chain of Taco restaurants too. Derek Jeter's Taco Hole? It seems I saw a commercial for them one night on SNL ... and then a few months later on the rerun.
Comments by delmer
Derek Jeter smells like World Series rings.
And Jessica Alba, Vanessa Minnillo, Jordana Brewster and Jessica Biel. But mostly like the World Series rings.
Comments by B.E. Earl
Oh, hell, no, I am not falling for that shit again. There's no way I'm going to hit play on that video. I can't believe you don't know who Derek Jeter is. That's just... weird.
Comments by Faiqa Khan
Britt was totally reading my blog. Awesome.
And what's wrong with Brut? I love that stuff! Hubby never wears any of that stuff. Except deodorant. So I sneak in a smelly one that will have the appearance that he is wearing some kind of cologne. Sigh.
Comments by TSM
Also? I sell Mary Kay and could totally hook you up with some MicroDerm abrasion. Or bronzing powder.
Comments by TSM
Our bathrooms are painted the same color . . . that's odd. Like, the same EXACT color.
Comments by vulgarwizard
i feel like i should call amy and apologize for showering with you. "it just happened. i didn't mean to do it, but i couldn't help myself."
we have totally different shower habits. i have to start at the top, with shampoo and conditioner. shave while i wait for conditioner to work. after rinsing, i get a fresh washcloth and lather up with regular old soap. wash face, then work my way down. (after the washcloth has touched my feet that sucker hits the laundry. blech. i don't know how you use those poofy things.)
why is drunk girl rambling about showers? hmmmm? ount know. peace. hehe
Comments by hello haha narf
p.s. jeter is a douchebag
Comments by hello haha narf
You bring a refreshing approach to product reviews.
Comments by e.Craig
@HHN: We don't say 'douche bag' (or c*cksucker) anymore! Have you learned nothing from Karl?
Comments by delmer
FUCKIN' DEREK JETER!!!!
Comments by Poppy
Holy shit. I forgot you weren't doing Sunday posts anymore, or not as often, or whatever the hell you said.
Dammit. I come here expecting teh funny....loaded up on wine & Sprite...and I get...nothing.
Why!?!?! Why do you have to live your own life Adam?!?!?! Dammit.
I feel so alone. So vulnerable..naked..and alone.
Comments by Stephanie
And to reward myself and to make myself feel better...I am now indulging in a Double Chocolate Fudge Sippable Sundae from Steak 'n Shake.
7,496 calories worth of chocolate.
At 12:50 a.m.
After drinking 2 glasses of wine.
I'm so hot.
Comments by Stephanie
Yeah - what Stephanie said!
Dammit! What are us buzzed people supposed to? Go to bed and sleep it off?
You don't love me.
Comments by Sybil Law
And now that I'm back, and sober, I will subscribe. Although I don't know why I bother...you don't comment as much anymore. Ass.
Comments by Stephanie
Love the soundtrack. During the beginning of the video, you were talking about the body wash and I thought, 'God, why doesn't he just get in the damn shower already?' I'm becoming more blase about your nudity.
I get moisturizer and cleanser from Avon, because my skin is super sensitive and I can't use most regular cleansers. Go Avon!
Comments by Jessica
Adam - You're an axe man....so that's why the chicks dig you so hard.
Hellohahanarf - I don't think I'm stepping on anyone's toes here by saying that you're welcome to copy this post anytime you like.
Comments by othurme
Stephanie, why would I know that?
Sybil, my dick might.
Amanda, is the the one with the white ball and stick?
Jay, probably!
Whall, an inadvertent pun!
Gwen, I have shows thrice daily where I shower.
Janna, she's a funny fucker.
Winter, at least I didn't drop the soap.
Penny, you should get on that!
Kelley, I don't want strays smelling my crotch!
DB, you're turned on, aren't you?
Crystal, I don't know!
RockDog, sounds like we definitely all win.
Hallie, well, you could make me cookies!
Sodapop, anytime!
Britt, I was trying to make you seem less cunty!
Maria, but were you dancing too?
Turnbaby, at least I didn't ask her to smell my penis.
NYCWD, I think that Axe stuff is too strong smelling.
Lisa, and aroused?
Suebob, rawr.
Angie, I used body wash for the junk, face wash for my face, and shampoo for the beard.
Dragon, why? Does he smell bad?
EG, now you should take a shower and send the video to me!
Robin, actually the steam was really bad so it was a cold shower. I had shrinkage.
Stephanie, I don't think they look alike at all in reality. And I always scrub my groin vigorously.
Undomestic Diva, I think that's a sex dream.
Delmer, same here - I don't care about sports at all.
BE Earl, I smell like Jessica Biel, too!
Faiqa, it's on Youtube, so you know it's safe!
TSM, was she? Bitch was supposed to be working. And I only wear deodorant. Aftershave and cologne are unnecessary and make no sense.
VW, are you sure you're not my wife?
Hello, you have a lot more hair, too. I can't stand washcloths.
e. Craig, stick around for my view of "Lil' Tyke Enemas".
Poppy, who what now?
Stephanie, mmmm, now I want Steak and Shake! And I just got behind in replying.
Sybil, I posted, just late.
Jessica, you should order it through Sodapop! And I'm guessing that since you're blase, I can start sending you naked pictures via email?
Othurme, I like those Nivea commercials that show an actual adult saying "Oh, good, it doesn't smell like ass. This is the body wash I'd rather have."
Comments by Avitable
It's what I always exclaim when anyone brings up that jackass. Can't stand him, a waste of a human body.
Comments by Poppy
Poppy, he's a professional athlete, so it seems obvious that he'd be a waste of a human body to me.
Comments by Avitable
This is almost totally off topic but you did mention chocolate.
A friend saw something on food network that I want to try but wondered if you have tried it and if so is it good?
Chocolate covered bacon
Comments by J.O.
J.O., I haven't tried it, but I totally would. I bet the crispy/salty/chocolate taste would be amazing.
Comments by Avitable
The fact that you washed your face with your eyes open freaked me out a little.
Comments by *pixie*
Oh, and at J.O.—I've had the chocolate bacon bar that Voseges (or something like that) sells. It's interesting. The bacon is small, smoked, and salty and marries nicely with the milk chocolate.
I wouldn't crave it, but I wouldn't pass it up if offered to me again. My husband LOVED it.
Comments by *pixie*
I'm gonna go for it tonight. I was going to last night but got side tracked by some Boo Berry and Count Chocula I found at the store.
Comments by J.O.
Pixie, I was looking at the camera!
JO, see? You inspired me to buy it.
