You'd have loved my high school English teacher.
She marinated herself in "Cotillion".
We had an "open school" [as in no walls/rooms] and you could smell the cloying reek of that stuff from 4 classes away.
I had to start bringing a box of Sine-Off every day.

I always thought Tabu was a stinking skanky cheap ho' smell.

Cotillion! I forgot all about that one! I had a friend that used to wear it. Is it Avon?

Maybe that teacher didn't have a very good sense of smell. Another perfume that people put on too heavily is "Obsession". I hate that stuff!! My mother hated Jovan Musk.

One less bottle of perfume to be assaulted with while shopping in the mall.

A Luzerne County perfume factory is closing at the end of the year, leaving 200 people out of work.

Guess they'll have to go to work in the anthracite mines.

My daughter bought some Guess on eBay and was really happy with it.

I give up. What did she buy?

I think it was Avon.
Then she must've been blind too because she trowelled on
the pancake makeup, lipstick and eyebrow pencil.
Word had it that she was "a beauty queen" in her youth but in her 50s, she sorta looked like Joan Crawford.

I used to buy my mom perfumes that didn't gag me in hope that she would give up the ones that did.
Didn't work....LOL!

I always liked it but never wore it. As I recall, it always came in pretty bottles, too.

Oh man....."White Shoulders".
That was my *other* English teacher.
She put it on with a paint roller.

[maybe it's just English teachers]...:))

Ya'll are crackin' me up. I've seen people trowel on the make-up, too. Tammy Faye Baker comes to mind.

There is an older woman that picks her grandkids up at my kids school. She is slender and pretty but waaaay too old for those micro shorts and very tight stretch pants. She hikes those britches up so far that it leaves little to the imagination, if you know what I mean. Not very attractive at any age and really ugly on a 75 year old woman.

Formaldehyde is ant juice and ambergris is whale sperm (semen?)
