Madonna's Truth or Dare

Madonna was at Macy's Herald Square Thursday night launching her new perfume "Truth or Dare."

She wore a sheer Dolce and Gabbana dress over a bodysuit.  Ladies what do you think?  Do you think there is an age when you just should not wear something anymore?  I have very mixed feelings about this.  Obviously Madonna at 53 has an amazing body so you can say "why not?"  I get upset when people tell me what I can or cannot wear because of my age.  But obviously I don't want to look rediculous.  But I want to have fun with fashion and feel sexy.  Every woman has the right to feel sexy.  I say wear what you feel comfortable in.  Look in the mirror.  How do you look in that outfit?

"Why wear what everyone else wears? Each 'blend' is crafted to be worn in combination and makes every single 'formula' a unique, beautiful creation and ideal for men and women. The term 'bespoke' is uniquely English and we typically refer to it as Custom Perfume or Custom Scents in the USA and this trend is becoming VERY popular now, as the proliferation of Celebrity Scents is becoming a little tired. People are realizing that they can wear a fragrance that reflects their own unique personality and individuality, rather than wear what everyone else wears!"

Fragrance and make-up

 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?

                                                                        

Don't Overdo The Perfume!

By Wendy Joy

                                                   

                                                                               

                                                                                                                       

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
When we get out of the shower or bath we smell good. Fresh as the morning air!  We used some soap and water and we smell like ourselves and I bet if we walked by anyone in the street they would think "clean, fresh scent." But OH NO, we have to screw it up by drowning ourselves in what we think is an amazing fragrance.   We smell pretty good and yet we find it completely necessary to drench and soak ourselves in perfume! 

                                                                    

 We enter a room and the first thing we do is overwhelm people with our scent.   They have to hold their nose just so they don't faint from the fumes.  I know we may think that our scents smell delicious and I'm sure some of them do (at least to us)....but it is very personal and to overdo it is nothing more than offensive.  You are wearing the fragrance. You should not be wearing the bottle!

  Everyone that you come in contact with  does not have to go away with a reminder of you for the rest of the day.  No one ever thought "Oh I wish that lady had more perfume on because it smells so good!"  Why do we have to give off noxious fumes when we walk into a room and make people feel queasy because we just doused ourselves in a heavy scent that smells like one kind of flower or another.

 Then the dreaded hug that transfers all of our perfume onto the unsuspecting person who then has to spend the rest of the day in your scent whether they like it or not.  That's right!  When you put on too much perfume you transfer it to everyone you come into contact with and they know it right away.  "Damn, now I am going to smell like Lilac all day long and I have a very important business meeting to attend."  When someone meets you,  your scent should be soft because you smell beautiful from your bath or shower.  And if you don't smell beautiful and you are trying to cover up a bad smell like BO  after a workout, then that's even worse. The combination of body odor and perfume is lethal!  And men are guilty of this too. They are some of the worst offenders but I'm writing this for us, not for them...but at some point we are going to have to be honest with them as well.  When a man walks into the room with too much cologne on it's a turnoff....admit it. I have been asphyxiated by men's cologne!  Well, same goes for us.  The next time we feel compelled to spritz six more times, let's make it two and everyone will walk away remembering our beautiful smile, not "Exotic Daisy."

                                              

FYI..... Some men hate perfume.....It is a turnoff to them.....Keep that in mind!!!!!!!
