I’m not joking, and don’t call me Shirley.

I just received an invitation via email to the Perfume Expo America 2009 in NYC.  This has to mean that either everyone else declined, or PXA is succumbing to being politically correct, and having to diversify their blogger panel.  If I were to go, I would be “the straight one”.

RL Romance Silver – Flashbacks

Unfortunately, readers, this is one of those fragrances I just won’t be able to be objective or unbiased on.  My history with Romance Silver goes back several years and across oceans and nations.  It was my first designer fragrance, or at least what I’d consider designer now; prior to that if memory serves I was [...]

Nerd News: .tel goes public.

Telnic is offering landrush registrations for .tel domains right about now.  Prices during landrush are $350 for 3 years, with General Availability launching on March 23rd for somewhere around $15 a year.  Feel free to contact me if you want/need a .tel name registered.

Redesign

For those that get my feed via Facebook, be sure and check out the new look at the blog.  I’ll make to attempt to claim I somehow designed this, but the dark, brooding blue was a bit much and honestly I always thought it was, I just didn’t have anything I liked better.  I like [...]

Twelve Twenty Five Oh Nine Nine Twenty Four

Something to consider, and be honest with yourself: How often does the image that you project to those around you match up with who you feel you really are?  Do you feel uncomfortable with exploring this line of thought, knowing that it’s more often than not?  Do you wish you could drop this second character [...]

Armani Code – Not Just For Everybody

I’ve written previously that the mainstream community, by and large, has awful taste, a message that I can reinforce by pointing out consistently high sales of fresh aquatic after fresh aquatic after fresh, bored-to-tears, are-we-there-yet aquatic.  Every now and then, though, we can find something that bucks the trend and Armani Code is the best [...]

Not a Dead Guy.

Some long awaited common sense with regards to fixing the blog has been dispensed by Mike at the Dreamhost support center so this is the first post in rather a while, isn’t it?

Central Park – It’s Easy Being Green

Kicking off the Bond No. 9 marathon, I chose to…choose the fragrances at random, and I’ll be mixing in my as-yet unreviewed fragrances out of my wardrobe and the Bond No. 9 fragrances for your reading pleasure. This also takes a lot of that pesky thinking out of the equation; I now can tell you [...]

Baldessarini Ambre – Easy Drinkin’

While I’ll be the first to admit that for the most part Hugo Boss offerings haven’t done much for me (I’ll also admit my experience with them is pretty limited), I have yet to find a fragrance in their Baldessarini line that I didn’t like. The original Baldessarini (which will be reviewed in the future) [...]

Clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere…

Alright I got about halfway done with the cleanup that I wanted to accomplish. The fragrance reviews are now all organized down the sidebar, and placeholders have been set for forthcoming reviews in both Niche Experiment One and the Bond No. 9 Marathon. Still to be done is a comprehensive set of tags, which will [...]
