The fragrance named after her debut album looks almost identical to the album's artwork.  Shot by New York-based commercial photographer Howard Huang, the "Pink Friday" ad campaign is an explosion of pink and glitz.  Minaj is dressed in all pink - wig and all - and wears crystal encrusted wedged boots. In one of the ads, the rapper pays homage to her NYC beginnings by striking a pose before  a skyscraper scenery.

 "Pink Friday is a celebration of my life at this moment; it is a reflection of me as a creator, and an expression of me as a woman.  I know my Barbz will connect with and appreciate each aspect - from the name, to the outrageous bottle design, to the vibrant colors that create their own song.  Pink Friday shows off my personality and style; it's exciting to express my voice through another dimension," says Nicki Minaj.  "I was involved in every aspect of the decision-making process - it seems easy because I always get this feeling inside: I know if something is right or wrong.  Each detail needs to 'wow' me or it is not an option; that's my way of composing perfection.
