MESSAGE BY APHRAEL
Last weekend,I was at a pompous, boring,laahdeedaah corporate soiree with my husband.The men all looked like penguins,in black and white,and the women were all stuffed in tight black dresses,dripping with diamonds and smelling of the obligatory spicy oriental evening fragrance of the moment.YAWN...Since I've had to endure this type of thing before, (hey,it pays the bills),I knew what to expect.But this time I figured, hell no,if I have to spend another evening being " charming and delightful " to people whose only interest lies in the size of their bank account,(another mention of the stock market and I will barf on their Mahnolos,I swear),then at least I should be comfortable,in a fairly naughty,if not downright wicked way.So I showed up clad in ivory silk corset with no straps,but a plunging neckline to make up for it, and a pair of skinny capry cut ivory suede cigarette pants,and,a pair of matching ballet slippers.The only jewelry I had on were my wedding ring and a pair of platinum teardrop earrings.That outffit raised a few eyebrows,but what really took the cake was my choice for fragrance: 1000. Anyone who thinks of 1000 as a " buziness endeavour " scent ought to think again. OOOH,baby, what a rush!!! I had men AND women sniffing me all evening long, they all wanted to know what it was and I refused to tell.Only one lady guessed,and since she had the class not to tell out loud,but instead whispered it in my ear,I ended up spending the evening chatting with her,which was wildly entertaining, since she,too,seems to share my passion for perfume.(incidently,I did tell her about this site,maybe we'll get to know her better,some day) When my husband and I got home, around 3:00 am,he told me that my fragrance cause him to commit a few verbal blunders (anyone familiar with the old freudian slip?...He had a few),which,luckily had the people he was talking to laugh uproariously. More than a few guests were convinced that I was not his wife, but his girlfriend,and he said :"She's my wife and my girlfriend." Then at home he proceeded to prove it by honoring me like a king would his queen until the sun was way up in the sky.I get the feeling I will always have some very fond memories associated with 1000. Wouldn't you?...
