I'm a C.O.W

As in, Certified Olfactory Whore.


Last night I did a grand tally of all of my BPAL perfume oils. The grand total? ...107..

A few of my very favorites: The Illustrated Woman, Marianne, SMUT, Jacob's Ladder


Imps galore! The lab usually throws in a handful of free ones aka 'frimps' for each order.



Old cigar boxes make for excellent & stylish perfume containers...oh yes.

Er, I'm thinking actually counting themwasn't the best idea. I am truly a lady obsessed...no shame! And hey, at least I smell absolutely out-of-this-world....(really, I get the most ridiculous compliments on these.)

Collage of Inspiration Wall

It had humble beginnings on the wall next to my bed in my sophomore year dorm room, and steadily grew the next two years. I took a strange pleasure in arranging and tacking up each individual picture of inspiration- always a work in progress....



Who do you spy with your little eye?

Confession:

I have a total internet crush on Brendan Donnelly.

Not only does his blog keep me cackling until the wee hours of the morning (def NSFW), but he is a talented illustrator with his own clothing line: Brendan Donnelly Clothing

"Lil Gentleman"

Seriously, this shirt must be mine. Look at that monacle! Genius. Everyone should own one of the "No Cats Allowed" t-shirts. (My next favorite is "Crusin" .)

I’m dead and dank and rotten
My arms are wrapped in cotton
My corpse loves you, let’s marry

(Get smart, once) Every night at sleepy time
(Get smart, twice) I hang my skin out on the line
(Get smart, sing) Oh, darling, would you be, be mine

(Chorus)
I’m in love, I think I’m in love
I’m in love, I think I’m in love
I’m in love, I think I’m in love

I’m caught in a mesh of veins
My fingers and flesh and brains
My skull gives head, so let’s wed

(Get smart, once) Every night when all alone
(Get smart, twice) I drape my flesh around the phone
(Get smart, pray) Oh, darling, would you be my own

(Chorus)

Don’t cry, beautiful, it’s just a phase
To the father and the son and the holy ghost
I chant and I pray, I love

You know, God works in mysterious ways
To the father and the son and the holy ghost
I sing and I pray, I love

I’m soft and slightly stinking
My arms are small and shrinking
My lips kiss dirt, oh, let’s flirt

(Get smart, once) Every night at half past one
(Get smart, twice) There’s a little taste of things in come
(Get smart, chant) Oh, darling, can I be your son

(Chorus)

Don’t scream, baby, it’s just a coma
To the father and the son and the holy ghost
I chant and I pray, I love

You go to heaven, I go to Roma
To the father and the son and the holy ghost
I sing and I pray, I love
