AlienChangeling

LOL I have had a great time over in the stalking thread where everybody was bugging Luna for hints. I sat back and cleared my throat, smiled, "ahem"ed, and everything else and nobody caught on, despite the fact that I'd posted a couple times in the "what are you wearing today" thread that I was testing something out for Da Mawa and it was a sekrit....... ...Well, a good writer does her research, after all...

That's exactly right, Mara, and I find the attitude of the, er, "more traditional" Sherlockians rather odd. I mean, if the truth be known, the Holmes stories were speculative fiction, which eventually became the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres of our modern day. The Holmes stories have more than a touch of the horror element, and a substantial amount of science fiction too. ETA: I have to admit though, I did love the Jeremy Brett series, just to SEE the stories done period, and PROPERLY period. He is my favorite "period" Holmes. I think Cumberbatch is my favorite "updated" Holmes as portrayed. I'd love for him to do my Holmes stories if they ever get filmed. Eh bueno.

*wide grin*

The Dr. Who epi was only on BBC America, right? I don't get that...

*needs ALL the Holmes scents* *several more too* *waits for descriptions*

Aaahhhhh, yes.....

Yeah, I don't remember apricot or vanilla, just massively delish INCENSE!

*sheepish grin* Y'all have no idea how klutzy I really am, do you?

Yeah, I've thought about that. But sure as I do, the ball will get away from me and I'll lose it and then it will leak all over the place. I know me too well - I am Ms. Fumblefingers.

I love the fragrance though.

Mine doesn't because this bottle is one of the 2 that the roller ball sticks too tightly in. I'm doing well to get the FRAGRANCE out, let alone sparklies.

*clears throat*

LOL probably so... And yes, I think we could!

Well, foo, then. I can't walk into a flower shop without walking out with a killer headache and mild nausea to boot. So this is definitely a no go for me.

I may have to try some of this. The violet scared me off, but if it's not strongly floral it might work...

La-de-dum-dum-dee...

WOW!!!! 1000 POSTS! I remember when I was a humble squib! Naow AI IZ DA SHIZNAY! W00T!

*smiles serenely*

LV, that was exactly my initial impression. As hubby doesn't much care for strong scents on hmself and I'm not willing to give up on it, I'm putting it back to age awhile and see what happens.

Love the super-suit; wonder exactly how much of the muscle is sculpted. The vascularity obviously is. *waits* *smiles*

I tried adding Celebutante into the mix - this, scented Cougar, and Celebutante - and it's like summer on the skin!

Here I am not supposed to be eating carbs and all I can think of now is a gigantic, doughy, slathered-with-glaze, cinnamony roll! *me wants*

Ok so the violet is not real strongly floral? Florals tend to give me headaches...

Eggers, I avoided this initially because I thought it would do the same thing to me, although I wanted to get it. But I knew as soon as I saw it had rose anything in it, it would probably smack me between the eyes. *sigh* I was thinking about getting a bottle based on some of the other reviews, but you clinched it for me on a "no."

Honey, I did the "run the tip of a barber scissors around the rollerball - every time I use it" thing. The fitting doesn't stay widened. On either bottle, this or Hot & Sticky. Especially H&S though. And not a single bit of the pretty glitter has been able to get out of the Celebutante bottle.
