"   Photo: Betsey Johnson  This morning, Betsey Johnson launched her new fragrance, Too Too with a huge party at Milk Studios. It was the kind of thing you were more likely to stumble upon at 10PM\u2014hipster DJs, a dance performance, champagne, plush pink couches\u2014but no one said no to a cupcake before noon. Before the ballet dancers did their thing, we asked the designer if making perfume is any harder than making pink dresses, &amp;quot;If somebody says just make it you, do what you want, then it&amp;#039;s a piece of cake!&amp;quot; Johnson gave the bottle a bit more thought, drawing on her collection of vintage Schiapparelli bottles as well as Jean Paul Gaultier&amp;#039;s iconic glass bottles. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve got to bow to him,&amp;quot; she said, before lunging into a curtsy. The lightning bolt, however, looked pretty modern. When we asked about its origins she pointed to her chest. Sure enough, there&amp;#039;s the faint outline of a lightning bolt tattoo. &amp;quot;It used to be bright red,&amp;quot; Johnson said. &amp;quot;I got it in Hong Kong\u2014it&amp;#039;s amazing I&amp;#039;m still alive after that tatoo! I was working there in 1974, when tattooiing was illegal here.&amp;quot; Tattooing was illegal? &amp;quot;It was illegal to get married in a beautiful pantsuit in city hall! My first marriage, I went in a velvet, beautiful pantsuit and I got sent home,&amp;quot; Johnson said. &amp;quot;Grandma goes way back!&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
