Lazy weekend poll ~ 4 questions for Josephine Baker Day
First, a quick PSA: the next freebiemeet will be held on Saturday 3 June. I am working on new rules based on our last feedback poll — it’s not too late to chime in there! — and I’ll try to get those posted the week before.
Today, happy Josephine Baker Day! Baker was known to wear both Jean Patou Joy and Lanvin Arpège (and do see Dr. Jessica’s post Josephine Baker, Arpege, and a Decorating Fantasy). In Baker’s honor, four perfume questions. As always, answer as many or as few as you like, or just talk about something else.
1. What’s your favorite vintage perfume, if you have one?
2. What perfume, vintage or modern, do you wear to feel glamorous?
3. Match a perfume made between 1950 and 2000 with the picture of Baker above.
4. Now match a perfume made after 2000 with the picture of Baker above.
