I'm intrigued by the Amanda Lepore perfume profile. $950? Any chance Bath & Body Works will do a knockoff? Only knowing them it'll be sweet rice, creamsicle, sprite and course cucumber-melon.
90% of BB&W gives me sugar-shock headaches, and the scents I do like they inevitably discontinue.
Oh, Niki Taylor. I think she was my very first girlcrush. I collected her CoverGirl ads and put them on my wall. She just seemed so amazingly beautiful to me.
@Cafezinha: I remember the photoshoot she did with her sister for Seventeen, when her sister was just starting.
I cannot believe she had a baby when her twins are 14. Big age difference. Brave woman. I cannot imagine going back to diapers at this point in my life.
@sassy wants her own tenth Doctor: yeah, demeter's your one stop shop for kooky fragrances. i remember at one point they had a play-doh scent and a crayon scent...
@hydrogen_jukebox: I would also recommend checking Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. I know they've had all three of those notes in different scents but I'm not sure if they've ever been together.
@argle-bargle? or fou-ferraw?: It's ALL sbout Cut grass. as a Midwestonian living in LA i miss that smell so much!! Instead I have diesel exhaust and dog poo. :(
@hydrogen_jukebox: It's not a perfume, but Lush has a solid shampoo bar that smells like grass and it is heavenly! Great for travel too because it's not a liquid that you have to put in a 3oz container in a baggie and whatnot ...
@happysquid: oh! i'm from the midwest too, now living in the rockies... it's too dry here to provide the divine grassy scents of my childhood summers. so sad! i feel your pain!
@hydrogen_jukebox: My absolute favorite (read: the only ones I EVER wear) scents are from Clean. they smell like soap, grass, lavender, herbs de Provence, etc. AWESOME. and! they smell good on everyone.
oranges + black pepper is an interesting combo; I think I'd love it...
@elitza is the liver: I wear D&G Light Blue from time to time, and I've found that the scent is citrusy and sharp, almost like what I'd expect the combo to smell like.
Pictures of clothes on ladies with figures closer to mine make me covet clothing, not the same looking body with the same make-up, etc.
Models should be dif sizes. Fashion - you want to keep them at a still unattainable standard - fine, I can't stop you there.
But seeing clothes on someone like Catherine Zeta Jones, Salma Hayek, etc. (ladies with busts, smaller waist to hip ratio, and an ass) make me covet a dress, even if I cant afford. Then I start the scheming and daydreaming of being able to be an escort with no regrets or something.
@Johnny_Rocket: Problem is, when they do use a celeb the ad gets more press, other than the company having to pay for it. If a model was in above, we prob wouldn't be reading about it.
Part of the problem with J. Crew is that their shoes totally suck. i'd have no problem buying them if they were cheaper, but I'm not shelling out big bucks for a pair of boots that's going to fall apart after three months..
@FashionShowAtLunch: Really? I have a bunch of J.Crew shoes that I love. The only ones I've bought that have disappointed me are a pair of silk ballet flats.
But I think the lesson there is that silk is not appropriate for city walking.

And for comparison:
I don't know what it says society that our image of the "ultimate" in femininity is best displayed in reality by a transsexual.

Also how does she get her arms into those positions???

Isn't that what we all smell like after a really good date that started with going out for Japanese?

I fucking love Mulberry bags - I only buy vintage ones though. God, they're well made.
Oh Sienna - very silly.

...That works! I myself would love to smell like oranges, black pepper and fresh cut grass.

gap body used to make a grass fragrance that actually smelled like a freshly cut lawn. it was so awesome.
there are a handful of other companies that make a grass scent, but i don't like them as much. they're not lawn-y enough!
