Me: still out of town without any perfume, and zero points for my DIY lotion with ylang and sweet orange, but extra points for massive ice cream consumption yesterday (and which I hope to repeat today). After lunch I had a scoop of Roasted Banana and a scoop of Guava from Mimi’s Handmade in Arlington; after dinner I had a scoop of Banana and a scoop of Dark Chocolate Fondente at the Pitango in Penn Quarter DC. I will be on a diet next week…

Happy Friday and happy National Chocolate Cupcake Day! Birthdays: A. J. Liebling, Anita O’Day, Chuck Berry, Martina Navratilova, Wynton Marsalis. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance that evokes one of Pantone’s picks for the Autumn/Winter 2024/2025 NYFW Color Palette. (If you like, click through to the article and pick your fragrance based on the color name or description rather than the color itself, as in “Tomato Cream, a nourishing toasty hue that warms the soul.” or “Italian Plum, a deep dark purple full of magical energies.”)

I’m in Le Labo Bergamote 22 for Golden Palm, although now that I’m wearing it I’d say the color match isn’t perfect. Oh well, I smell great…
