I need a bottle of Sachs.

So, I guess it is that time again.

There are also Halloween scents up but there isn't a ton of stuff that I MUST get, thank goodness.

Okay.

So, I'm ready to order this.

All of you who are going to send me money for this, please PayPal it to me. (Or, if you're on Amazon Payments, that'll work too.) I'm hoping to get this going in the next week or so. Please send over the cash when you can.

YEAH! Snakes and Ladies!

Okay.

I'm looking at ordering these in the begining of July. At the moment, I'm looking at people telling me how much they're willing to commit to the order /and/ which bottles they're most interested in. Each bottle is $20, so each $20 commited = a full bottle going home with you. With bottles that have multiple people interested in, we can decant (as I'm pretty sure will happen with Boomslang.) In that case, we can figure out how to break that down as I'm sure there will be bottles that won't have people attached to them. Also, if there is anything else you want ordered at the same time, let me know and I'll happily add it to the order. All the better chances for imps of fun and neat free things.

This will lead to a dinner and sniffing party! We will gather together to sniff everything and eat food and perhaps have some wine and certainly chocolate. Knowing the time line of how this works, it sounds like we'll be looking at late July or early August.

( The list once again... )

Soooo,

BPAL people. I have the following that I don't really want:

The Star
Black Lace
Diary of an Lovestruck Teenage Cannibal
Enraged Groundhog Musk
Gingerbread Poppet - 2007
The Haunted Palace
Madame Moriarity
Pumpkin #5 - 2007

Anyone interested in any of these before I offer them up to... somewhere?

And no, Prairie and Rach and other people who I promised to send things to, I haven't forgotten. I've just been lame about getting them sent out. It is on my list to do this weekend.

I also want to place an order for the Tiki smells. I'm pretty much interested in anything with rum in it but there are some I'm more likely to order than others. The ones that are really tempting are below.

TE PO
Jamaican rum, almond liquor, orange water, sugar syrup, lime peel, black cherry, vodka, and mint.
UPA UPA
Spiced rum, coconut, pineapple, and vanilla.
OPUHI
Ginger blossom and vanilla orchid.
BOO BAM
Bamboo reed, palm frond, and hibiscus.

BPAL wishlist updated.

And now.... I hope to update my hair.

Maybe. If I can break out of the funk that seems to have grabbed me today.

Oooooof.

This will go to show how stupidly addicted I am to my new obession but is anyone out there anywhere near any of these stores?

Le Pink & Co.
3820 W. Sunset Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90026
323-661-PINK

Nail Polish Etc.
1140 Cocoa Ave
Hershey, PA 17033
717-312-0444

Whole Foods Market
aka Harry's Farmer's Market
1180 Upper Hembree Rd.
Roswell, GA
770-664-6300

If you aren't too far from one of these, might you be willing to go to one of these places and buy some things for me? (Not all of those scents, of course.) I'd cover gas money, shipping and what have you.

Yes, yes. I know. I'm an addict.

On December 14 the teaser trailer for The Dark Knight will be released with I Am Legend. It will already be showing the 7-minute opening scene of "Dark Knight" before the screenings of "Legend" in IMAX.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull's first trailer is planned for a debut in February. Paramount's biggest film in February is The Spiderwick Chronicles. Hrmmmm. That doesn't seem like a fit. It is possible Paramount will decide to debut footage earlier during the Super Bowl - that seems a bit more fitting.

JJ Abrams is keeping it in the family, as it were because the first Star Trek trailer is planning a debut with Cloverfield on January 18, 2008. It will likely be short. They haven't been filming that long.


Kris, Holly and I received our BPAL order. YEAH! So far:
Lick It One More Time: I smell like a candy cane! YEAH!!!
Gingerbread Poppet: In the bottle it is overwhelming and unpleasant. On me it is lovely. Another win.
Egg Nog: In the bottle it smells like alcohol doom. On me it doesn't smell like much and fades really, really fast. Sad.
Kill-Devil: In the bottle I have no idea what this really smells like. On my skin it smells like an oak plank that has been soaking in honey for a few years. I like it.
El Dia Del Reyes: In the bottle it smells like the best cinnamon, chocolate coffee... On me it smells sort of musty and cinnamon-y... except if the cinnamon were still on the tree. I'm going to give it another chance but.. Meh.

As for the frimps: Bliss - It makes me smell like a brownie! Woooo! I think I want more.
Midnight Kiss: A dark musky, tobacco chocolate smell. Not sure if I like it or not. It isn't bad but it isn't horrible. Okay to have an imp of, certainly.

And in other news, the BPAL order shipped. Woooo!

Tomorrow will be the day of looking at rental properties with Kris. Starting at 10.

Bewitching Brews
KILL-DEVIL
"Rum punch is not improperly called Kill-Devil; for thousands lose their lives by its means. When newcomers use it to the least excess, they expose themselves to imminent peril, for it heats the blood and brings on fevers, which in a very few hours send them to their graves."

Sugar cane, molasses, oak wood, and honey

VELVET
Envelop yourself in the soft, sensual embrace of gentle sandalwood warmed by cocoa vanilla and a veil of deep myrrh.

Centzon Totochtin
The Four Hundred divine rabbits of the Aztec pantheon that preside over parties and drunkenness. Bittersweet Mexican cocoa with rum, red wine, and a scent redolent of sacrificial blood.

And pretty much anything with vanilla in it, I'd be interested in at least smelling.

And there will apparently bew new Gaiman scents and holiday scents some time this month. *ponders*
