My first thought was that you were wearing crude oil.

I wondered if the oils last 48 hours...

Although they often overapply the scent, as do some men from Latin America (never you!!)

Re: The World of Style & Entertainment
You just jogged a memory of someone I met a long time ago - in childhood! - who had an attraction to the smell of gasoline!
(I also had a friend who felt BBQ sauce would make a great cologne scent.... people are weird)

Re: The World of Style & Entertainment
Uh, I actually love the smell of gasoline...and hot tar. Not that they would be my personal scents but they smell good to me.
My (still) favorite scent was made by Caron and called Royal Bain de Champagne.

Haute couture from a different cultural perspective. Simply stunning even if there are only one or two, maybe three designs that can be worn.

Re: The World of Style & Entertainment
IMDB is giving it 6.9 ranking. Which is not that bad.
Ridley is truly one of the great directors of all time. The list of memorable films is extensive. But he also has a good number of duds and downright bad ones. This would be two in a row. Napoleon left a lot to be desired.

Re: The World of Style & Entertainment
My favorite is the one in picture number 13. It's somewhat wearable too.

How comfortable do suppose sitting is in the wide or heavily beaded pieces? I feel like I would dislodge beading and throw the form off sitting down.

Re: The World of Style & Entertainment
Obviously, not built for comfort, but it seems there is a ton of tulle underneath, so I think for the beaded, probably fine. The wide ones have got to be diffucult to sit down/get up in, but I imagine it's fine while you're seated. Plenty of wedding dresses are shaped like that.Owendonovan wrote: ↑Thu Dec 26, 2024 7:29 am How comfortable do suppose sitting is in the wide or heavily beaded pieces?

I found those designs beautiful - and relatively wearable - but not very "fresh" looking, I feel like I'd seen all of them, or similar, before. I liked 13 as well, because you're less likely to find such intricate, elaborate design on a dress shaped as businesswear.

Re: The World of Style & Entertainment
Good point about the tulle serving as padding.
