BAUDELAIRE RECOGNIZES SAME-SEX PARTNERSHIPS

Offers Two-for-One Deal with Valid or Invalid License

Swanzey, NH - April 2004   In response to the growing national controversy over whether to recognize same-sex relationships (and in keeping with its insouciant corporate philosophy, People who Bathe Together Stay Together), soap importer Baudelaire, Inc. has decided to offer an exclusive two-for-one special to any same-sex couple who faxes them a valid (or invalid) marriage or civil union license.

"We are long term supporters of committed relationships," explains founder Joe Marks. "We don't care whether you call it marriage or civil union or simply 'joined at the hip,' everyone should be able to do it." Marks adds, "We believe personal care products are an essential part of any long term committed relationship. As one of the country's leading importers of high quality personal care products, we believe it's our civic and civil duty to support committed relationships of all kinds, regardless of race, color, creed, or human anatomy."

The company is putting its money where its mouth is by offering this one time only two-for-the-price-of-one special on all of its products to same-sex couples who can provide proof of their relationship.

For those living in municipalities or states that don't offer same-sex marriage or civil-union licenses -or for those in more traditional committed relationships (with themselves or others),  the company is also offering a one time only 20% discount to anyone who writes "I support committed relationships" in the comments box on their website shopping cart. Both of these across-the-board discounts apply to all of Baudelaire's soaps, bath and body care products, and accessories.

Information on Baudelaire products - including their complete and colorful catalog - is available by calling 800-327-2324 or by visiting www.baudelairesoaps.com. The fax number (for certificates) is 603-352-9239.

Baudelaire imports hundreds of different bath products from, France, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, and the exotic foreign country of Florida.  Its suppliers tend to be small, family-owned companies located in rather out-of-the-way places.   And the products tend to look a little more distinctive, be a little more natural, last a little bit longer, and smell a whole lot better. Best of all, they don't even cost more!
