The first perfume I loved was "Ambush" by Dana. I can almost smell it right now. I also liked Love's lemon cologne. I loved the smell of the lemon fragrance. Whenever I smell lemon scent today it reminds me of high school, The Beatles, hanging out in town and all things sixties and seventies. My grandmother introduced me to Jean Nate. I would pour it all over me! So refreshing! What was your favorite fragrance?
Thinking about fragrances started me thinking about make-up. I only wanted my eyes to look like Twiggy. So I bought every different style of false eyelashes that "Richmind Way", our local discount drug store sold. And of course I drew on bottom lashes. And I loved Yardley of London. Remember the lipsticks in the striped tube? Bonne Bell Ten-o-six lotion. I loved the smell of that too!
Ladies can you name some names of make-up and fragrances that we wore. Do you remember the ones that I mentioned?
Elyse: I remember all the fragrances and make-up you mentioned. I also LOVED the Yardley commercials they used to have on during "The Monkees!" Do you remember Musk? I loved the smell of that, too. And do you remember we used to call you "Twiggy of Brooklyn?" You were SO cute in the 7th grade!!!!
