Lazy weekend poll ~ open thread, International Women’s Day 2014
We’re celebrating International Women’s Day with our usual open thread poll: talk about anything you like — the perfume you’re wearing today, the fragrance you’re planning to buy (or return!) this weekend, whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
A reminder: the swapmeet is next Saturday…
The game is on (again)
