I am a designer perfume whore. Angel and Eau de Star being my primary addictions, but the sister bought me Gucci Rush for Christmas, so I'm happily indulged.

I used to wear Poison. It was my first designer perfume love.

[annwfyn]

I think ms_rodger (an old school friend of mine) had a bottle of either Poison or Tendre Poison when we were in fifth form which I tried a little bit of and liked.

Never bought a full bottle however, mostly because I've always loathed the smell of most perfume counters and don't get there to try or buy anything.

I'm told that Poison is quite an adolescent perfume, which makes me pout a bit, as I do really quite like it.

[madwitch]

I wore nothing else until I fell for Angel. Adolescent or not, it's a lovely scent. My parents used to bring me bottles of it from this little shop behind L'Opera in Paris, which is owned by the factory that makes most of the designer brands. They can sell it, as long as it's not in the branded bottle.

I have to hunt that shop down, it's so much cheaper, and my Mugler/Gucci addiction can be costly.

I was told that poison was more for the mature lady. though perfume sellers are notorious liars.

I tend to wear some Chanel man thing, but only when I need to feel like I should be wearing a suit - not day to day.

I like the icon, and the new layout, too. And now, when you use that icon, I can look and think "See that blur in the background? That's me, that is."

With your Warlock, I'd personally send all her stuff to another character, delete her and start a new one, with all the stuff sent back, and the new name, because she's not very high level, and it won't take long to get back there.

I also have a present for Ravi when she gets to 30 or 31.

Ice skating I might be up for - I've never done it, and have always wanted to try...

[anonymous_james]

I don't know where you'll be skating, but I might potentially be up for it.

[annwfyn]

As suggested.

I deleted poor little Wednesdaywoe, and now have a new and shiney Undead Warlock (who looks exactly like her) called Ayizan, who is soon to receive all Wednesdaywoe's gear from Galuma, my Tauren.

I feel mildly guilty.

I think I will change Kaiyai's name tho, as I like her pets and have put a reasonable amount of effort to get them into the high teens.

Any idea on new names?

[riksowden]

are you dressed as a schoolgirl?

[annwfyn]

I'm wearing a white shirt, tie, and then jeans. I do have a plaid skirt to go with the outfit, but lacked the courage to wear it for NYE.

[riksowden]

Why?

Surely NYE is about dressing up!

[annwfyn]

But I am shy and nervous about such things!

[lilitufire]

I wear Dolce and Gabbana's Light Blue as a daytime perfume and *cough* Burberry London as an evening perfume. Neither, clearly, on the brand name (though Burberry is less hideously embarrassing in Tokyo) but purely because they smell nice on my skin. Which hates Poison something chronic :)

[sea_cucumber]

Normal perfume makes me sneeze lots and lots so I can't really wear it, although there are ones I like! There is one called Burberry brit (I think) that I got a free sample of when my sister bought the big bottle in new york, and there is another one in a tiny bulbous bottle with smooth circles on it that smells nice too but I can't remember what it is called!
