Kiehl's Derek Zoolander Center for People Who Don't Age Good is really, really, ridiculously ridiculous
New York just got that much more ridiculously good looking. And just plain ridiculous.
Three men in leopard suits blared trumpets at the corner of 14th Street and 8th Avenue on Tuesday afternoon, as more male models (read: out-of-work actors) in shiny silver suits posed or flew by on scooters sporting "Blue Steel" faces to announce the grand opening of The Derek Zoolander Center for People Who Don't Age Good -- or DZCFPWDAG, for short.
This collaboration between Kiehl's and "Zoolander 2" offers an exclusive 6.5-step program to keep you really, really ridiculously good looking.
Gaining a few stress wrinkles is more likely after a visit to the DZCFPWDAG, because this is New York, and any free experience will be really, really ridiculously crowded.
Take a look inside.
Welcome to DZCFPWDAG

Step 1: Do you age good or NOT good?
Chances are, you age not good, and a guy in a silky blue shirt will tell you approximately how elderly you look before pushing you into the next step.(Credit: Melissa Kravitz )
Step 2: Decontamination
This is the part where men in Ebola suits spray you with Kiehl's products. Instant decontamination! Ask nicely and you may get a free bottle to take home. Or you can skip this step and buy one online.(Credit: Melissa Kravitz)
But really you don't need a hazmat suit to try these Kiehl's products

Step 3: Youthful scents-ability
This step includes inhaling both pleasant and unpleasant scents from colorful machines. You can skip it if you're in this for the free products.(Credit: Melissa Kravitz )
The Top Secret Fountain of Youth is off-limits
But who wants to look that young anyway?(Credit: Melissa Kravitz )
Step 3.5: PTNR
Pants-to-nipples ratio is a very important part of youthfulness, according to an actor reciting a script most likely not written by the "Zoolander" screenwriters. When you're born, you don't wear pants, which means you look youthful. No babies were present at the DZCFPWDAG on Tuesday.(Credit: Melissa Kravitz )
This is the look you're going for

Step 4: Phalangeal preservation

Step 5: Youthify your insides
Here, you can relax in a weirdly constricted corner and breathe some free oxygen.(Credit: Melissa Kravitz )
Free wisdom is available throughout the center
Soak it in. It will keep you young.(Credit: Melissa Kravitz )

Step 6: Rebirth certification
If you thought you were getting out of here without a photo booth, you've never been to an event before. Choose your favorite face from the Derek Zoolander lookbook of really, really ridiculously good looking looks.(Credit: Melissa Kravitz )
