THE WAY WE WERE......LOOKING BACK IS FUN

Do you remember the scene from "Broadcast News"? Holly Hunter demonstrates spraying perfume and walking thru the mist. Might be the only way to get minimal effective amount on. I wish I could find a good gardenia perfume.

No I haven't. Guess you have ordered from there. Thanks. There used to be a couple of perfume shops in Ft. Worth. Not sure if they are still there. One was downtown Sundance Square. Pretty sure it's not there anymore. I think the one on SW Blvd is still there. Do you know of any in Dallas or Mid Cities/Irving area? Used to get pretty good deals at Ulta but they've outpriced me.

Luv, I don't know of anyplace in Dallas. Every once in a while I find a good deal on something at Ross or Marshalls. The place in Ft. Worth might be Parfumelle. I can find stuff they carry less expensively elsewhere lots of the time. Sometimes good deals on Amazon or Ebay.

Onco, I think my change was hormonal. Going through perimenopause (okay, I had ovarian cancer at the time too) I developed a real aversion to perfumed stuff. I had to give liquid Tide to my sister because I couldn't stand the way my clothes smelled. Ditto most fabric softener. I loved and wore Clinique Aromatics for years and can't handle it anymore. Getting on the elevator with someone with strong perfume now just about does me in. It's like morning sickness in reverse or something...

Oh man, I so agree about fragrance bothering me since beginning exemestane. I believe the aromtase inhibitor messed with my sense of smell (not in a good way) cause all smells are magnified big time. Could also be cause I quit smoking 18 months ago too...anyway, can only wear body spray now and I used to love my perfume. Wearing a lighter scent or just using the lotion is all I can handle these days. I also use unscented detergents etc.

luvmygoats,

Love gardenia scents.  Elizabeth Taylor's is my fav.  I also have to admit that I still wear White Shoulders.  Sorry ladies!

I remember that we wore peter pan collars with our collarless sweaters. (Dyes to match, no less to our skirts)  I could never get the collar to stay in place.  Anyone remember polishing their white and black saddle oxfords and the layers and layers of white polish needed to cover up the scuffs.  And lastly, does anyone remember when mini-skirts first emerged and we had to roll up the waistband of our skirts because Mom wouldn't let us wear anything over the knee??

I never had a steady boyfriend but those who did at my school wound string around & around the inside band of their boyfriend's ring and then painted many coats of nail polish so they could wear the ring on their fingers.  We didn't have sports rings, only class rings.

MinusTwo, we had class rings too. What we did was wear  our small ring over the boyfriend's very large one so we wore two on the same finger and our class ring held theirs on our finger..or we wore it on a chain around our neck if we did not yet get our own class ring (too young - did not get it until Junior year) HA!

I remember wearing penny loafers more than saddle shoes as I graduated HS in 1973. By the time I graduated, we were wearing tie dye and moccasins and letting our hair frizz out like Janis Joplin. I used to braid it when wet and then let it dry overnight and then it would be poofy and frizzy. I wore a headband. That was after ironing my hair to make it straighter the year before...LOL The times they are a changin, no? (Bob Dylan of course)

What is it?

It was a good show.
