Sweet Diva: Reader's Journal: Goldengrove
http://sweet-diva.blogspot.com/2009/02/readers-journal-goldengrove.html
Saturday, February 21, 2009. I very rarely abandon a book. Sometimes I will set a book down because I am distracted or not in the mood for it, but usually I have every intention of picking it up again. Abandoning a book, for me, is a deliberate and aggressive act. I do it because I feel like the author is wasting my time. It sounds like someone, you know, trying to be "hip to the kids." Just listen, as Nico stands outside the cemetary after her sister's burial:. Who'd drunk that Diet Coke? I have a visio...

Sweet Diva: 2007: Fragrance Year in Review
http://sweet-diva.blogspot.com/2007/12/2007-fragrance-year-in-review.html
Friday, December 28, 2007. 2007: Fragrance Year in Review. The fragrances listed here are my favorites out of the ones I posted about in 2007. Unlike last year, I was sampling right up until the last minute. At one point I thought the list was headed in a more floral direction, but as it turns out, my love of spice and incense tends to win out. The biggest surprises for me:. Out of all the rose scents I sampled, Bryant Park was my favorite. I re-tested every rose, and this one stood out every time. The n...

BitterGrace Notes: The one that got away, sort of
http://bittergracenotes.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-one-that-got-away-sort-of.html
Thursday, July 17, 2014. The one that got away, sort of. So, here we have hard evidence that I don't always get the shot I want. The truth is that I almost never get the shot I want. I get shots I like. Here are a few famous quotes about photography that I've always liked. All of them seem to be contradicted in some degree by the photograph above:. In fact, every photograph is a fake from start to finish, a purely impersonal, unmanipulated photograph being practically impossible." Edward Steichen. My blo...

BitterGrace Notes: MoonDance, Anya's Garden
http://bittergracenotes.blogspot.com/2009/10/moondance-anyas-garden.html
Tuesday, October 20, 2009. There are two things you should know about me before you read this review:. 1) I am a longtime fan of Anya’s Garden perfumes; and. 2) I’ve always loved white florals. Instead of outgrowing them, I'm finding them even more addictive as I age. There—now that I’ve declared my biases, let’s get on to the business of reviewing Anya's lovely paean to the tuberose, MoonDance. MoonDance opens with a rush of sweet, cool violets. They don’t last long, but why should they? Anya’s ot...
