Smelly…

Posted by amanda on Sep 18, 2009 in Writing |

I’m not sure who taught me but I remem­ber grow­ing up I was told that per­fume was not to slaver and cover.  A fra­grance should be sprayed and walked through, or LIGHTLY dabbed on a cou­ple of pulse points.  The whole idea was that some­one very close could smell it, and you would smell it, but the entire city would not.

Is this a les­son not taught to peo­ple any more?  Men or women?  Because dammed if the street don’t smell as if they are cov­ered in a nox­ious mix­ture of patchouli, vanilla, and aber­crom­bie and fitch.

Seri­ously peeps…stop spraying…I beg.

    So far as I’m con­cerned there should be a legal limit to how high the patchouli fumes can get in an office. fines should be issued, peo­ple should have to shower if caught wear­ing too much … Ooooppps here comes Dr. Wag­ner to sit next to me –I’m off to get my gas mask.

    So true. My Momma taught me that. Seems like every­one else should know it as well. Some­where things are falling through the cracks. Just ain’t no cul­ture any more.
