I'm here to testify that you smell good, that you have a scientific mind that does scientific work, that you are a fellow doglover and that I'm glad Doug let us both into his blog. He had his doubts. For one thing, this perfume thing ... isn't it kind of ... <I>femme</I>? I mean, it's hard to make caustic humor about <I>smelling good</I>. But efforts will be made. <BR/><BR/>Nonetheless, as testimony to his generous spirit, here we are. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if Doug uses Axe or Tag? <BR/><BR/>♥ k-girl ♥ <BR/>♥ doug ♥ <BR/>XOXOmireillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012296353550408831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11152564.post-1144878775178315652006-04-12T14:52:00.000-07:002006-04-12T14:52:00.000-07:00Cowgirl-you're a woman after my own heart!Hi again...Cowgirl-you're a woman after my own heart!<BR/><BR/>Hi again VI. (would you rather be called 'idiot' or Vi?) <BR/>Yes, that's my collection. I've whittled it down to about 40 bottles, 40 decants (subsamples of other people's bottles - usually 5-25 mL), and about 100 samples. I keep trying to get it down to less but I have all this perfume karma built up and people keep sending me things :-)<BR/><BR/>If you look up on the wall in the background you can see Kyah, standing in the River, overseeing everything :-)<BR/><BR/>lacquer thinner cologne-there is something called 'Montale Skin' that smell like laquer thinner or nail polish remover (to me).

That would be bad for the Guest Wednesday business!<BR/><BR/>JD-thanks :-) I'm actually going to have to sheepishly admit that I threatened the ENT with a horrible fate if he did something to damage my sense of smell. He assures me that it will be even better after the surgery. That will be amazing because its already pretty good. <BR/>Kyanna is a nice name. <BR/>I don't get excited over foul odors but can spend time discussing them. Seriously, you should read the Cacao reviews we did. IT stank-the perfumistas had a heyday :-)<BR/><BR/>Hi Doug-sorry, just moving in and taking over your blog.

Three cheers for open sinuses!! <BR/>Smelling stuff is usually a good thing, but I can't get excited over foul odors.
