Jell-O mold fruit salad and some sweat. Cool, metallic pineapple suspended in raspberry/cranberry Jell-O. It’s more aluminum fruits from a distance and disco booty up close (overripe fruits).

The Lipstick League – week of 8.8.11

Question of the Week: – What perfume can bring back memories with just one sniff?

EauMG’s Answer: Way too many smells throw me back! When I smell Nag Champa or Dior Fahrenheit, I am reminded of the days when I dated my now husband. These are the smells that he used to wear. Anytime I smell headshop incense, I’m reminded of my younger and angstier days.
