  1. Lands of livin' but everyone's PEs this month are beyond incredible. My credit cards are already whimpering and trying to make a mad dash out the door.

     

    May I please reserve a Pinky Sweet and Honey Buzz for now? Thank you!

    PS: LOVE the baby hoomans this month! Baby animals are cute, but baby hoomans are adorable.

  2. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD THERE'S A DUCKY!!!!! A DUCKY!!!!!!

     

    Oh Mara!!!!! And he's so adorable!!!!!

     

    :hearts0425:

     

    OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    (ETA: Oops. I ran over and bought the sample set before counting -- there's 21, so I'm sure the sample set will be more than usual. When the price is announced, I'll paypal whatever more I owe. SORRY! SO EXCITED!!!!)

  3. For those peeps who say the scent disappears too quickly on them -- I thought it had, too. But then I went to a meeting and everyone started coming up and saying how good I smelled and was it a new perfume? So even though I wasn't aware of the scent anymore, it was definitely still there. It turns into a soft cloud on me, which I prefer to scents that announce my arrival with drum rolls and trumpet calls. (Helloooo, Violins Lady. I'm looking at you!)

  4. I had a long love-hate relationship with S&V. Something about it caught and kept my attention, but every time I wore it, I swore it would be for the last time. Yet I kept buying and using up tester after tester of the stuff. Perplexing!

     

    It is not a scent that allows you to ignore it. It can't quietly be worn. But I kept noticing people would move a bit closer to me in crowded places, sniffing the air to catch the scent. It intrigued them.

     

    It took a long time, but I have made my peace with the take-no-prisoners persona that is S&V, and now embrace it.

     

    But I swear, every time I go to wear it, that lady on the bottle stares at me and says, "About time, wench. Let's go!" And I realize I am but her bitch.

  5. This just arrived and I put a fairly healthy dose on to run out to Sears for house stuff, and -- it turned male heads! Industrial, knows-a-crescent-wrench-from-an-allen-wrench guys. Guys who wouldn't be caught dead at a perfume counter kinda guys. And I know it was the scent and not my gorgeous running-to-Sears appearance (ha!) because they didn't look my way until I was three feet past them and they caught the air borne scent.

     

    I'm thinking it's because it's an almost androgynous scent, gender-ambidextrous, if you would, but reeeeally not masculine enough for a guy to pull off. Yet definitely sexy enough to make guys look at a girl twice.

     

    It's a deep, dark sexy that carries an outdoorsy freshness to it. And I think guys appreciate its no nonsense, no princess fairies and glitter depth. I LOVE it!!

  6. Oh, yes, Molls! This is brilliant!!! Amazing how it captures "blueness" so perfectly! A beautiful, not-too-flowery, not-too-sugary summer floral arrangement (so to speak). The oakmoss imparts a lovely balmy summery-ness, suggestive of how the Old South must have felt before the days of air conditioning and television. To me, you've created a texture, a time and a place kind of experience in a bottle.

     

    Thank you for sharing this with us!

  7. Ohhhh, Mara!!!!! YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!!! The post lady practically had to use a fork lift to deliver that HUGE LP BOX! :cat690:

     

    I unwrapped that "little gift" (did you hear all that screaming and squeeing??!), then panicked, thinking it must be a mistake and I'd landed up with someone else's order. But no!!! You put that sweet little smiling happy face on the invoice to say, "No mistake -- ENJOY!!" And yes, that gift will be enjoyed! And treasured and coddled.

     

    You made me cry, Mara. Gross, slobbery, mascara-smearing crying. Your generosity, integrity, thoughtfulness - - you are simply amazing. Thank you thank you so so much.

     

    You rock our world! Blessings upon you, forever. :burning-heart:
