I recently had a bottle of Guerlain's Mitsouko Eau de Parfum given to me and it's simply divine. I think it has definitely soared to the top of my favourites list thus demonstrating that the oldies are often the best :) Other than the Mitsouko, I have a fair bit of perfume but mostly more...

Yes, though to be fair, I have to travel a little closer to your way to find the stores that actually have a good selection. I used to buy Boot's cold cream but it's not stocked near me.

Oh I like that one ;)

"An immaculate house is the sign of a wasted life" - I have no idea who originally said that, but I like their way of thinking ;)

Oh yes!

Wow, the general consensus is that Lottabody is the way forward... and *very* reasonably priced from what I've seen which is a bonus.

What a delightful idea to post photos of our homes. I only have a small flat, but here are a few pictures I've just taken: I'm currently refurbishing the lampshade, so it's looking a little rough around the edges at the moment.*

I don't wish to appear antagonistic, but I do hope that the reference to not studying "British" in schools in the UK but rather English literature and language is not suggesting that north Americans aren't speaking English. I'd like to think that it is widely accepted that there are multiple...

I'll post as I can't remember if I really introduced myself properly when I stopped lurking and actually joined. Also, I've been away from The Lounge for such a long time :) I've been wearing vintage since my early teens but without the direction that I have nowadays. Back then, I used to raid...

Dixon, that may well be the roots for the English language but evidence of languages that were widespread on these shores before the Anglo-Saxons' time can still be heard in Cornwall and Wales for example. Not all Brits consider the Anglo-Saxons to be their true roots, they just helped to make...

With a thread on "Britishisms", I'm rather tickled to see a thread for the opposite flow of lingo. I sometimes find myself wishing that the term "sidewalk" would take off over here, usually when there's an inconsiderate person racing past on a bicycle. If I'm not finding myself grumbling...

I can cope with vodka in my hair, but beer sounds like it'd make you smell like an old pub. I've just set my hair with the VO5 potion and it stinks of cheap men's aftershave. I'm rather liking the idea of Linseed gloop scented with Shalimar right now.

As an aside, the reason I don't use ebay for beauty products is that I get this bizarre message every time I try to look at something: Unfortunately, access to this particular listing or item has been blocked due to a Paris commercial court decision that bans trade of certain authentic...

For some reason I thought we all had African ancestry rather than just 1 in 7. That's certainly what I've been telling my work colleague every time he comes out with some sort of obnoxious, racist comment. Oops!

I've never seen Lottabody for sale, but will definitely investigate it. Thank you for the link on homemade setting gloop. The results in the pictures are very impressive, especially in terms of the longevity of those curlies when facing dreary Kentish coast weather. I think I may just give...
