Smells Like Teen Smash-Up

High Desert--today was Coyote layered over Diamondback. Which was nice, but not as nice as just Coyote.

Her throat was laid with stars

EliseM is having her traditional birthday sale with some really gorgeous pieces of jewelry. My ass is even flatter broke than usual, so I will not be reveling in the savings, but I've bought from her before and the recipient was delighted. So if you're feeling flush and full of magpie, make clickings on the link!

Who's that girl running around with you?

This week's IFIAYAQD is very special. A new cast member is being added to Torchwood--After the War. (Or TWATW for those clever wits among the fanbase.) Team Leader Lady Waverleigh recently made a trip to London for a few reasons, including "to see about adding a tea maker/librarian/accountant/housekeeper to keep the base clean". And I come to you, the collective, to ask you to tell me about this newest team member. Does she have a history with Torchwood? Is he on the run from something in his past? Is it an alien in need of a job in order to keep its visa valid? Is he a snide uppercrust valet? Does she collect stamps?

I've set comments to 'screened' in case you have an idea you don't want the audience to know about right away. Let me know if a comment should be unscreened. Also? The next game is in six days so please jump right in! Especially you lurkers there in the back--I want to hear from you as well.

Smells Like Teen Kumari

Kumari Kandam, named after the fabled sunken city: Thick incense, clay, stone, and hothouse blooms with a spike of frost, a hint of decay, and heavy, dolorous aquatic notes.

I'm definitely getting the hothouse blooms and the aquatic notes and the incense. It's a robust scent. Honestly? A bit overwhelming for me. Maybe the clay and stone are making it heavier? But it's something I'd expect to smell in a humid, lush setting like Louisiana or Babylon.

I don't care if you won't talk to me

Reposted from my friend Katie, for my local actor people. (Bah. I wish I were available for this.)

I Need A MAN! ...no, seriously.
My cast is still in need of a "Lennox" for the MacBeth that I'm SM-ing!

If you're male, an actor, and available Thurs-Sun for the rest of this month, and Fri/Sat Eve, Sun Afternoons in September, EMAIL ME!
