EauMG Etc.:
Not too much going on. Last weekend I went mushroom hunting. I found nothing.
This weekend there’s a chocolate festival. I’ll let you know how it goes. It’s chocolate, can’t be bad, right?

Sounds like there must be a lot of little monsters out there. I’m not surprised as Fame was a crowd pleaser and not nearly as noir as the bottle made it out to seem!

They’re buying it because of the Mama Gaga. It could smell like anything and sell like hotcakes. The smell is not important š
I agree. It’s a crowd pleaser that isn’t “noir” at all!
