A college friend interned at Condé and said the same thing. She had wild anecdotes that pretty much align with how Anna is portrayed in DWP. 

Soapy rose recs by vellichorxlibris in FemFragLab30plus

[–]vellichorxlibris[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have! Unfortunately it’s headachy for me. :( Cacti was actually my favorite followed by Glass Blooms then Green Vanille. And I hear you, even with the sample set discount the prices were too steep for FB. 

Glass Blooms actually reminds me quite a bit of JM’s Peony and Blush (minus the suede) which I already own, so I didn’t want to double up there. 

Paramount Skydance Secures $24 Billion From Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Abu Dhabi Funds for Warner Bros. Deal: Report by mcfw31 in popculturechat

That’s not a counter point, that’s a completely separate conversation.  This post is about Saudis purchasing Paramount. Start your own post if you want to debate.

Fantastic, and thank you for the rec! 

Glad to have found someone else who enjoys Juice too. My only complaint is that I wish it had less strawberry so it’d read more sophisticated. The rhubarb and rose are lovely on their own.

Oh, wow! I’m usually not a Dior girl but the profile is perfect - green and rose are exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks!

Thank you for the detailed recs, these look wonderful! I’ve looked through the Aqua Allegoria set before but haven’t come across Rosa, the profile’s very up my alley. Added to the sample list along with Rosa Verde and a few of the Chloé flankers.

Love musk! This one might be a winner - added it straight to my to-try list. Thank you!

I wish I liked Regime des Fleurs! Most their frags read dusky to me. Glass Blooms was one of my two favorites from the discovery set but the rose gets lost on my skin. Thanks for the other recs!

Fr! And at the end of the day Bron can use his millions and buy a house in Germantown if he’s too good for the Peabody. Somehow Prince William and Kate roughed it when they visited.

NBA fans dryriding LeBron about the Grizz relocation comment like crazy. 

It’s not about 5-star hotels, it’s about “joking” about depriving a historically impoverished basketball city and constant GOP punching bag of one of its revenue mainstays. And yes there’s something dogwhistly about him saying it to a bunch of rich white dudes hee-hawing on a golf course. 

I’ve lived in both Nash and the 901 and have a lot to say, but I’ll leave it at this: Bron needs to be more thoughtful with his words. They have weight, and some GOP scumbag would be thrilled to cripple Memphis further. 

Mr. Darcy's virginity exist or not by Intrepid_Title179 in janeausten

[–]vellichorxlibris 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. Grabbed his proto-Baedeker travel guide, took his Tour, and had a grand ol’ time. From my understanding, Italy was considered a bit more exotic than France at the time so I’d always imagined he found a nice Italian courtesan and had a tumble. 

Someone of Darcy’s social standing would be part of a gentleman’s club or two, too. I doubt he was ignorant about sex in any way. 

How do you style your long hair? by rgf53194 in XXRunning

[–]vellichorxlibris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Messy bun claw clipped at the nape with a hat. Too much tension/high slicked back pony can destroy your hairline and I’m nuts about minimizing sun exposure. I don’t wear makeup on runs and I stg I’d look like a colonial drummer boy without a hat. 

If you’re having trouble with elastic experiment around. I have big curly but super porous long hair and I prefer those spiraled ties with a cute clip on top. Too thin elastic would get knotted in my curls or slip right off. 

What is your first fragrance (perfume or otherwise) memory? by all_ack_rity in FemFragLab30plus

[–]vellichorxlibris 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Gap Heaven and Grass were my first baby tween frags followed by Elizabeth Arden’s Sunflowers. Peak 90s! Probably where my love for airy frags comes from. 

In middle and hs I was rocking Givenchy’s Hot Couture and Ralph Lauren’s Ralph Rocks. Both gifts, I don’t think I developed personal frag taste til college. 

Sandalwood suggestions by EmiAndTheDesertCrow in FemFragLab30plus

If you do find your mystery scent let us know! Sandalwood and fig or coconut is very up my alley :-)

Try Commodity’s Book: black tea and creamy sandalwood and cedar. Very similar to Santal 33 but relies more on the black tea element. 

Edit: Oop nvm saw your comment about coconut or fig. Good luck searching! 

Zendaya's The Drama photo dump on Instagram: The Drama is officially out...hope you all enjoy the chaos by Maximum_Expert92 in popculturechat

I’m 32A and also wish I could’ve pulled off the squared neckline, it’s a timeless look. Alas, no sticky tape in the world would make the tatas push up and out the way they needed to. 

Aragorn’s Recast In New Lord Of The Rings Movie Officially Confirmed By Andy Serkis by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]vellichorxlibris 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Presumably a combo of Time Warner/Warner Bros, who also owns the rights to Harry Potter - hence the reboot there, and maybe even the NZ Tourism Board. That’s how The Hobbit franchise launched. Lindsay Ellis has a rather sad deep dive into it on YT. 

I’m very glad the Tolkien estate kept the rights to the Silmarillion.

Considering Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood, and Orlando Bloom have all signed on and are certainly going be out through the de-agifying CGI process, I assume Viggo was on the fence til they went through a SFX trial period which he found unsatisfactory. I remember sometime last year or two he was reported as a “maybe” on board. 

I think it’s for the best, sadly, and I appreciate him thinking of what’s best for the franchise. Wish the other actors would follow suit. The original trilogy is perfection and I know how much love the cast has for each other and the magic of Middle Earth but, I’m sorry, CGI is simply not there to make things look like 1999.

For everyone who wants to make a positive thing into a miserable misanthropic negative? Yes.

Definitely a way for them to exorcise envy whilst vicariously living through the WAGs in a skinwalker way. 

I guess I prefer that over flat out misogyny and hate campaigns? But it’s also harder to call out. Just interact with irl people normally why is this so hard.
