Some of you all are mean girls aren’t you. And you read the following years ago: “Now, I’m not a particularly naïve person, but I can be when it comes to how other people view me. To me, perfume is a form of art. It’s also a cosmetic. And, I love to collect it. HoweverContinue reading “Stupid (aka the post where narcissistic people not associated with other narcissists feel triggered for various reasons)”

Unfortunately
I woke up this morning thinking about my family in general. Not in relation to this blog or my Instagram account. But eventually I also was pondering the many issues with social media… Basically, I’d like to explain something I don’t think has been clear: I torched my own original account on Instagram myself. IContinue reading “Unfortunately”
Exhausted…
So I’ve maintained a slight presence on Instagram to enjoy the beautiful photos of others and to be on Instagram in general. And occasionally I’ve liked people’s posts. Liked their posts… Other times followed them. …And instead of taking that at face value as it’s meant some seem to take it a million different directionsContinue reading “Exhausted…”

I’d respect you more.Continue reading “Karen’s Gang (not a repost but a restatement of things I’ve said many times)”
Curious Questions And A Crass Response (Repost Again)
Update Again from later in 2020: I’ve come to learn today from a friend on Instagram (who wishes to remain entirely anonymous) that in the first few years of posting to Instagram I made a few enemies accidentally. They would not say who but they told me that a few (somewhat unrelated) people have beenContinue reading “Curious Questions And A Crass Response (Repost Again)”
Nahema (Repost)
I’ve seen Nahema around on Instagram and wondered what it was all about (Guerlain 1979). It sounded like a truly mysterious rose. And, it is… Of all the roses I’ve tried this is by far the darkest and wildest. It’s not dark and wild in some trite, static-moment-in-history, tacky way either. The peru balsam mixesContinue reading “Nahema (Repost)”
