I’m joining the Prada Candy train…

Huge thanks to therabbitsflower for reminding me that Betty White did a cameo on the TV series Community way back in 2010. She was only in 2 episodes, primarily in the Season 2 opener “Anthropology 101“, where she played Professor June Bauer. (She was also in a brief end tag at the end of episode 3). I decided that called for silly, so I’m in Jean Paul Gaultier Ma Dame…
Happy Friday and happy National Bittersweet Chocolate Day! Our community project for today: we’re off to Denmark…wear a perfume that is named for a place in Denmark, or that reminds you of a (real or imaginary) trip to Denmark, or that features a local ingredient, or ?

I wish I still had some Ko Denmark Jasmine + Neroli, but I have long since used up my sample. I’m wearing the closest thing in my collection, I think, Aftelier Candide, although I can’t decide if I deserve any points for my meager efforts today…
Happy Friday! It’s also the 10th day of Christmas (lords a-leaping), plus National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day. Birthdays: Lucretia Mott and John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance to match Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s color of the year for 2025: “For 2025, the Pantone Color Institute selects PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warming, brown hue imbued with richness. It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort. // Underpinned by our desire for every day pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence. Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe.”

I’m in Bvlgari Omnia (hat tip to SheriG yesterday), which ticks several boxes for Mocha Mousse: brown color on bottle, chocolate note, “thoughtful indulgence”, “unpretentious”…
It’s Friday! Plus, National Fruitcake Day, the International Day of Epidemic Preparedness, the third day of Christmas, the third night of Hanukkah, and the second day of Kwanzaa. Our community project for today is Best of 2024…wear your favorite new release of the year, or your favorite purchase of the year, or the fragrance you wore the most in 2024, or interpret this project however you like. (We’ve done this project several times.)

Shortly I’m going to put on my second purchase for 2024, Tauer Perfumes Heraud…
