cherry picks

Why buy a lemon when you can pick a Cherry?

Surprise!!!

Color for the hair down there Sun-burst Betty

It’s ‘Sunburst Betty’….not sure how that name evolved…
Maybe there is Fuchsia Fran, Lavender Liz, Silver Susie and well, you get the drift.

There were a few different options (all $20 a pop)….I thought–go lively this holiday, sort of neon Pumpkin Pie. (nevermind)

Probably the kind of colour job you’d want to do at home….(or hey, Rent the Flick ‘Shampoo’ and use your imagination….)
Never underestimate the power of a little novelty.

Pink Label Ken Barbie doll Japan

(**one assumes that his name is Kentaro—but, for my purposes, Let’s call him Kyosuke….chan)
Just wait til his family finds out that he’s dating Malibu Barbie.
Uh Oh. Yoku Nai…………

L’Artisan Parfumeur: L’Eté en douce

Yeah, the people that brought you all that FIG Fragrance that was ‘The RAGE’ several years ago….well, they’re b-a-a-a-c-k.
without the Figs.

Artisan Parfumeur Eau de Toilette

It was originally named ‘Extrait de songes’ in 2005, but the name was changed to prevent confusion with a fragrance from Annick Goutal.

I had a dear friend really (REALLY) “into” fragrance–I’ve never truly understood the zeal behind new scents.

Clean and Soapy works just fine for me, but alas.

Often, I’ve seen collecting perfume as a trend for women (aka “gals”) over a certain age, size, etc., who use them as substitutes for wearing the latest fashion (and hence they also collect shoes, scarves and handbags). Not so nice, but often true.

This offering: ‘Gentle Summer’ is a rather inoffensive (yeah, that makes it worth $140) waft of: orange blossom water, green hay, white musk.

“L’Eté en Douce is all about purity and light. It is quiet and soft, the scent of clean white sheets drying in a garden rich with orange blossom and shimmering dewy grass.”

Well, whatever it is is wearable enough.

YYC FORMER FAVOURITE (AND MAYBE STILL CHAMPION) ANTONIA’S FLOWERS.

(I discovered it in high school……when I was a ‘gal’)
