Friday free-for-all

[synecdochic]

HA. I REMEMBERED THIS WEEK.

This post is a free-for-all for people to:

a) post links to perfume-related content they posted elsewhere (on or off DW)
b) talk about anything they want to talk about that isn't big enough for a full post
c) socialize and hang out without worrying about "off topic"

I'm guessing it just never came into fashion, yes. :) There are definite trends in perfumery!

[thatyourefuse]

There are. Even niche perfumery, which, I've just bought like seven Etat Libre d'Oranges. Considering their non-Secretions Magnifiques options include Jasmin et Cigarette, Encens et Bubblegum, and Divin'Enfant [leather and marshmallow]...

Whatever, then, I can be original. Like Vero Kern and her obsession with passionfruit.

I would totally buy a sample once you got the kinks worked out ;)

(If you don't know by now, I am a horrible enabler.)

[thatyourefuse]

(I'm getting that. Maybe once I manage to lie my way into a full-time job!)

My friends all know that they should only come to me when they want to be talked IN to doing something, not talked OUT of it. ;)

(Actually, I will talk people out of things when I think they're a bad idea. But where's the bad in playing around with some perfumes? Maybe check around you to see if anyplace has a course in perfume making?)

... I do live in the five-college area...

[synecdochic]

Oooh, the one in MA? Go have lunch at Fresh Side for me, I miss their tea rolls SO MUCH.

[thatyourefuse]

Yep! (I was going to say "A five-college area" but, like, what, there's more than one?) I think I even know where that is, too.

Downtown Amherst! It used to be off a side street, but they moved a few years back; they're on the main street now, right across from the campus and a block or so down. Next to the bookstore.

I didn't go to Amherst (my ex did) but I spent a loooooooot of time there. I occasionally head back up to eat at all the places I remember fondly (Fresh Side! wings from the Hangar! Viva Fresh Pasta!) and to go to WEBS. :)

[thatyourefuse]

Yep. I've been by there. (I'n not in school, currently, which confuses the shit out of people -- I'm eyeing the film editing concentration at Hampshire, though, but I haven't figured out how to make that happen.)
