Like Luna I recall the Actors Magic will replace PP. I think I saw that in the roll on it will be called Moviestar but I am on the goodstuff so I could be wrong. Differences? There are products specific to women/men, and they have trialed this for success before release. More details need M & D. But great story!!!

I am feeling much more like myself - which is what made me realize how long I had felt like total sh*t. I am really happy Lor and Dolly. I *felt* great after losing all the weight - healthy, energetic, cute. And I felt like I had a new lease on life. But for as good as I felt like I looked - I found that I never knew when someone was going to (without bad intent) make me feel terrible when they asked after my due date. I hoped that repairing the hernia and taking off the left over skin would make that happen less often. So when I tried on clothes yesterday for the first time - I realized that I can't imagine anyone asking again because I am smaller and flatter than I have been since I was 24. It's hard to describe how awful it would make me feel when it happened - and it happened as often as twice a week for the past two years. I put on a dress that I stopped wearing because everytime I did - someone asked. And it looked great on. And all my dresses that hid the bump/skin look HUGE on. I realized I had to get either new clothes or my stuff tailored. It's hard to overstate how great that is. So yes, I slathered on the cheese and imagined all the phero fun to come. I am so going to rock Cougar with an EoW boost. Can't wait to be allowed off bed rest so I can start having fun. And as I read through this thread I realized we all get a bunch of fun at the same time. Realize while we know the intent of the new blends, we are all going to be roadtesting them at the same time. And we have all the nuances to learn - just like we did above. What a fun summer to be on the boards! We all get to play and learn at the same time. Seriously - it's like M & D, Ail and Dolly decided to have the best party ever and we are all invited to play along. I would also like to vote we should add the LAM and WF art to the LP swag on Cafe Press. Both are cute and wearable.

Bumping an oldie but goodie. :-) So hanging out on bedrest is totally boring. But I have felt good enough to do hair/makeup for the past couple of days. Swelling is coming down so I tried on my skinny jeans today. You know the ones I mean - the too small, looks bad pair you use as a measuring stick to check your weight loss or heaven forbid, gains. And they looked amazing!!! So I put on a huge amount of EoW, a schmear of SS4W loaded HAM and hung out in the recliner having the best daydreams. I have to tell you - during the height of the phero cloud - I was positive there was no hotter person on bed rest - flannel jammie pants or not. I feel much more like myself today! And I might add my shower rendition of Stacey's Mom has got it going on - was more boisterous than normal. It was however no closer to being in the correct key. EoW might raise libido from the dead but it does nothing for basic vocal talent - or lack thereof.

Generally it seems we both like deeper, sweet scents. Both like resins and animalics. But patchouli of any kind/amount HATES me. Which is fine because I hate it right back. :-)

I wanted to like this one but due to wonky skin chemistry - Tantric Butterfly smells like Deep Woods Off on me. Ugh - so sad. Starting to think Dolly's chemistry is similar to mine. Go figure.(g)

First - hi Michelle - and welcome. :-) Second - while my guess would be that finding a scent attractive has less to do with gender and more to do with personal taste, Mara and Dana have a phero blend called girl/girl that might help. If you check the phero threads you should find more info on it. It is also in the new Bosom Beaus scent. Again - welcome.

:dancingfruits0nm: Hola y'all! First of all - how the Sam hill did I nearly fill my bottle rack? Already? This is an illness. (sheepish) Second - once I know I like the scent and want more - I boost. Same reason - saves on the drydown, costs less, and only one bottle in the handbag for touch ups. And I am counting the minutes to woozy floozy. :-)

I'm with DeliberateAngel - the patchouli just completely *AMPS* on me - and I can't smell anything but the Patch. When I get back from surgery - this one is going on the trade block. Darn it.

Lack of patience seems to be a common trait here. :-) CC - have a blast today. I'm sorry if my post sounded cranky - it wasn't meant to. Sometimes direct comes out wrong.

Mmmmnnnnn - love Tonquin. Any chance you would go heavy animalics and do tonquin, civit, a nice DARK amber - and something a little sweet? Dash of spice? Perhaps some Wanted Man? Because if you did - I'd buy it for the DH. And make him a happy happy man. :-)

Um - CC I love you. Seriously. But you should not assume because I have a DH - that he is a) the one and I should keep him. For all of the reasons you probably re-examined your life. It's easier for both of us - and more honest - if you just assume I'm married. :-) Everyone of us - has crosses to bear. But I'm grateful that this board is here. And for on-line friends - who share LP addiction - and laughter. So - it's all good.

I'm with Rosebud - I want to order - but not if it will delay the ones that should ship soon. Which right now should be any minute - and God forbid - I delay them. Wants my precious. But the minute I get my Stamps.com confirmation - ORDER in. :-) Waiting patiently - *LYING* not so patiently - for a note from Stamps.com. Wants to order...breathing heavy...come to me my precious.... As soon as I get the note- BANG - order in. It's crazy this LP addiction.

Since everyone else was in a big Phero cloud - I thought I'd do the same. :-) Day: Generous amount of un-Cougar/covered by Adriennes Honeyed Sin. And it was a HIT parade. It was most noticeable when I went to pick up a new cell with the DH and the kids. Seriously - I was in a sweat shirt and yoga pants - with the DH and the kids. And everyone who works at the cell store - is too young for me to have even baby sat them. But the sales guy asked me behind the counter where customers aren't supposed to go - and showed me what he was doing to set up the accounts, flirting the whole time. In front of the DH. Who was getting p*ssed. And who pulled me against him and whispers in my ear - what kind of a** flirts with a man's wife right in front of him? And muttered something about making sure he hit the gym. Then - another sales man came by - also really young but cuter - who interrupted the sale to make small talk with me. Until he saw the DH's response and he scurried to the other side of the store. The DH is HUGE so most men think twice/three times before even going there. Did I mention the sweat shirt and the kids? Seriously. And then the DH smelled the Honeyed Sin and said - I don't know what you are wearing - but if we were home - I'd be locking you up in the bedroom right now. Onto the liquor/wine store - to purchase gifts for the party. DH/kids have gone home. At one point, no less than 3 sales men where wandering around, giving me tips on wines, liquors and making small talk. I looked like the pied piper of the wine shoppe. Loaded it on for the party - Cougar/more honey sin/EoW oil. My DH was following me around like a big goofball - glaring at every male who talked to me - including his poker buds. Who were friendlier than normal. :-) Anyway - it was a fun day. Love the unscented Cougar. Love it. Hope that if Dr. Stone makes a run at replicating - it's close to the Pharmacom version. What great effects.

BUMPED. Ail - Mara - Dana. Woo hoo? Anyone there? Knocks on monitor screen. Any chance you lovely ladies would decide to share some tidbits on the new Phero plans? Pretty please with sugar on top? Quick - someone find the begging kitty pic and add it into the thread. :-)

Sometimes when you request a different sugar - it ends up on the label like a 4th ingredient. Ie - I wanted the dark honey, amber and civit - to be almost gooey sweet in addition to the dirty animalics of the amber/civit. So I asked for brown sugar instead of the regular sugar blend of 5 sugars and now it shows on the label as a 4th. I would suspect because Brown Sugar smells so different than the normal blend of 5 sugars - that if they didn't say that - customers would get confused. And sometimes - you will ask for just a drop in the notes section - of a complimentary ingredient. So - it's not really a full fragrance note - just a tiny drop of something - that gives a teeny bit of additional fullness. I did that with the mango/melon - asked for a drop of cucumber. Something to tart up the sweet. But anything you put in the notes section is up to Mara/Dana to agree to and I assume that complexity and cost are part of their decision. Have fun playing. Sometimes I pull into the custom sugared scent and just sit here and dream up new lovely smellies.

SNORT. Can't say on all 4 legged mammals - but will say the house cats notice a Phero cloud. They both act funny when I have on a ton of pheros. Course that could be they've realized cloud of pheros means no kitties on the bed. ;-) My guess is the lions in the circus won't have had that sort of aversive conditioning. Just sayin'. But spread the Phero's thick and come back and tell us what happened tomorrow. <g>

ROFL! Dolly - I sincerely hope that as I type - you are somewhere having an excellent time. The only way you could have a better time - is if you dipped your man in Sorcerer/Wanted Pheros. I believe that calls for a Dom Banana! I said Dolly was a secret twin - or at least sibling? Well - I read this note. After I had already created a Phero Cloud in my own locale. I had decided I had been in such a work funk that on my day off - I needed fun. So...I swam in EoW oil, topped with Sexology - and a half hour later - overlaid with HAM with an SS4W load. I was positively SPARKLING this afternoon. I have an awesome dark red/violet highlights do', new make up, a facial, and have started shaping my nails for a wicked fun party tomorrow night. The lady who does my hair - is convinced I'm having an affair - I'm not - but she is convinced I have such a bounce in my step that nothing but an affair will explain. :-) Somewhere - or somewhere - among my multiple orders winging their way to me - is a Sorcerer bottle and a Mara's Rocket Fuel. I only wish I had them both before the party tomorrow. Because next Thursday I'll have surgery - and there will be no more fun for a month - nothing but a vicodin created blurr. Sigh. And I'll have to live vicariously through ya'll - until I'm healed enough to be naughty Shelly again.

CC - I so get self effects from EoW too...sounds weird and I didn't expect it but it's still true. Have fun today!

Don't think your weird - think it's self effects. You just found your magic blend - which you might want to hoard - we don't know if they are going to make a Pharmacom CB version with Dr. Stone. :-) I had two of the last bottles of Cougar unscented and I LOVES my precious for self effects.

If that story does not: A) take all of our minds off the pending new releases and inspire fervid calls for a rebrew of HAM then the LP boards are deaaaaaadddddddd... In a way that mere fragrance won't fix. <g> And speaking of a fervid call for a rebrew - I've used 2 1/2 bottles of HAM out of stash of 4. Dying here. Needssssss morreeeeeee HAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Next time I'm going to hoard like an SOB. Yesterday -in order to start treating HAM like the treasured stash that it is - I wore the honey/orange blossom/grapefruit PE - and everyone HATED it after HAM. I wore HAM into day - and I overhear - Oh - Shelly is here. I smell her FAB perfume. REBREW. REBREW. REBREW. Pullleeeeezzzzzz?

Ummmm....well. That was distracting. Very. I am tickled pink HAM inspired one of your stories. :-)

Maybe LP attracts more red-headed personality people? My hair goes red in the sun - naturally a very dark brown - so I had popping white highlights added - and then colored shocking pink-red over the top. It's awesome. Love it totally. Darkest brunette with streaks of pinky-RED. Too fun. Actually - no one looks twice at my hair in Europe but I get lot's of commentary in the States. :-) So funny.

With news of Phero Blends for LP Fans? Oh where or where can she be? (Sung off key - because that's how I sing.) Sigh. No new release information. No new phero information. The boards strangely silent - like the LP world is holding it's collective breath... Sigh. I'm trying for patience. I'm failing. But I am trying.

I had been carrying some Phero's in the car - in case I needed/wanted a "happy to be in traffic" moment on the way home - but stopped - when I realized how crappy it would be if the heating/cooling of the car ruined my precious. So - all this week I've commuted home without a goodly dose of Phero's to make the brain go to a happier place. Frankly - it was no fun. I think I'm going to carry some in my handbag so it's in a nice temp controlled office and reapply for the ride home again. I'm thinking your ideas of carrying little phero decants would be great - I just haven't yet gotten decant supplies. I've got the mother of all orders coming from M&D soon - seriously - they have to be wondering if I won the lotto. Didn't - just got a bonus and decided it was time to LP myself into a full inventory of yummy goodness. But when DH sees the box - he will have a heart attack. Decant supplies going to have to wait about a month. I'm guessing it's going to take that long to get him breathing again. :-)

Treasured Hearts is brilliant at work - I wear it when folks around me are fighting. It seems to take the edge off and get people talking. But I still think if you want a sexy, fun vibe - SS4W is a great all-rounder - no cops at all - but just a fun presence. IMHO - Treasured Hearts if for in-laws, people at work, and people I like but don't want to get horizontal and superimposed with. SS4W is about catching someone's eye and shamelessly flirting. Rosebud - with unscented CB - you used an elephant gun on the poor guy. Way seriously too much fire power if you thought you had him in the 90/10 equation. (If his brain is 90% there - swing the last 10% with the Pheros) Save the unscented CB for your first official date. Or carry in your handbag in case he asks you out for coffee after your shift. But don't beat yourself up too badly - how we learn with the pheros is sometimes going just a scoche too far. :-) At least you know he likes you. Really, really likes you. <g> Congratulations on that.
