I am not a "believer" in general, although I will say one of my friends made a fragrance for me, using essential oils and amber, to land me a job. And it totally worked *that time*.

I know I smelled like a bazillion bucks, and I think that translated to heightened confidence.

Also, the fragrance seemed to drive men, in particular, wild. Men seem never to comment on how I smell... except for when I'm wearing this fragrance. Unfortunately :-( I'll never be able to reproduce this, and my friend has passed away. #perfume

Confidence is a preference of the habitual voyeur of what is known as... #perfume

So, it's the opposite of smelling like Teen Spirit then? #perfume

@TransFat: If the opposite of Teen Spirit is the equivalent to smelling like an inspirational poster, then yes.

My confidence comes in a bottle of Bulgari Black. Best $75 I've spent so far this year. (I also wore this 10 years ago when it first came out and I was living in Zurich so it came with awesome scent memory free of charge) #perfume

@erinna: Scent memory is the strongest, right? Smells take me back so much more than other senses, a song can do the trick at times. #perfume

I agree. Please don't let loose anywhere near me. I don't fart or pass gas in front of you.

I don't think a guy should fart or pass gas around me.

That's what bathrooms and outside are for.

It's better to toot

And bear the shame

Then not to toot

And bear the pain.

Ugh, I'm going to be crucified, but . . . I kinda agree. It's not very ladylike. Sometimes unavoidable, obviously, but still not ladylike.

I can count on my fingers the number of times I've passed gas in front of anyone else, male or female. If I can't manage to be alone or outside, I will hold it until I feel like I'm going to burst.

Sorry, but the prissy ol' southern belle in me just refuses to find this 'acceptable behavior.'

@MJ: I'm not southern, but I am kind of a priss. One time, before we lived together, I was staying over at Mr. Foibs house. I farted in my sleep loud enough to wake myself up. I lay there, terrified that he'd heard. To this day, that and one other time when I was half-asleep and he was in bed watching early morning SportsCenter, are the only times I have ever audibly cut one in his presence. The first time, the one that woke me up, upset me so much that I called my BFF the next morning from work so she could calm me down. I was actually thinking of breaking up with him because of the embarassment. (I didn't, obvs.)

@MJ: I don't rip 'em if front of just anybody, but if my husband lets one fly, well, you get what you give.

If I'm somewhere other than home, I try to be private about it. My Grandfather used to "go look at the boat," which our family euphamism now. My husband steps on alot of barking spiders and ducks.

Once, though, we were shopping and I let a SBD go, and blamed it on him when you could smell it into the nest aisle - people were gagging.

@MJ: Well, I wouldn't let one rip in a board meeting or something like that. But I'll be damned if I have to hold it in around a significant other.

I personally feel if you can fart in front of your man/lady, that is a sign of a healthy relationship!

I think expanding the quote helps us understand just how daft Mr. Bennett really is:

I guess women have to let go at times too but it just doesn't seem right, but if they do then it shouldn't smell or make a sound. I mean come on if you were on a date with Angelina Jolie a lunch date eating

spaghetti and pancakes or whatever it is people eat in Hollywood and as she's feeding you she farts. Do you let her slide because of her

beauty or call her out?

Spaghetti and pancakes? Uh, Hollywood ladies don't eat carbs, especially pancakey ones. And why is Angelina feeding him? I obviously have no idea what's sexy.
