Not very much like Proust, actually.

Re: Smell does things to us

Wow, what an incredibly foreign perspective to mine! Neat.

If I think about it, I can still totally recall the scent of Strawberry Shortcake. Weird.

[mrissa]

Of course you can. It was a very distinctive smell.

That's so weird. I find I can't remember what Skatin' Fun Skipper smelled like, of herself, only what her skates smelled like. Did the doll smell like a regular Skipper?

[mrissa]

Yes, plus the smell interface with the skates, if I recall correctly. (I never owned one.)

Maybelline eye makeup remover smells exactly like my friend Maria's Barbie dolls. Since she had an older sister, there were some older dolls in the mix. Since their playroom was in the basement, this was part of the Eau de Barbie as well. Sort of sweetish, musty-plasticky. Not unpleasant as it turns out, but distinctive.

Since I didn't do Barbie (more room for Breyer horses if there are no Barbies, and besides - Barbie's stiff legs made her a poor rider, so what's the point of Barbie to the horse-crazy?), this is what my brain tells me all Barbies smell like. Maybe they do.

My computer screen nearly received a coffee bath! :)

Isn't it funny how certain smells trigger such memories??
