Lesbo Plate (for XMas Cookies?)

First to recommend

Description

Consider a supercool plate as the foundation for this year's holiday cookie gifts. Once the gourmet treats are gone, your recipient will have something fabulous to remember your gesture by....

Trixiedelicious's Etsy shop has been one of my indulgences of late. I keep popping over and picking up a plate or two, some teacups.... the collection is growing. It's a fabulous hostess or birthday gift and would make a really unique holiday present for someone you know with a sense of humour. Think of making a gift basket with winter warm-ups and a tongue-in-cheek item or two from this shop. Sure to be a hit.

Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey

First to recommend

5 people recommended this item

Description

In life, I like to see, taste, feel and explore everything and anything I can get my hands on.

But when it comes to what fragrances go on my body during those adventures, I am a creature of habit.

Issey Miyake's L'Eau d'issey is one of only two scents that I wear.

Had my introduction to it been contingent upon the description of undertones on its box, I might never have tried it. I tend to gravitate toward darker, exotic and primal scents, a preference which leads me to conclude that parts of me were left back in a cave somewhere when evolution came calling (a theory which, as an aside, explains several other things about me. I shall save those for later. You can exhale now. I'm done sharing my issues for today).

Miyake's fragrance has enough musk and other things to carry out "erotic exotic" but had I glanced at the chorus line of floral scents before smelling it my nose would have kept on moving down the line. I usually don't do things like Carnation in life or in scents.

As it happened, I was standing in an international airport Duty Free shop when a woman with a feisty haircut, fantastic heels and a good 6 inches of height over me walked up next to me, picked up the sample, raised one arm up high with the bottle and, while holding her shirt open and exposing her (my guess? La Perla) balconette bra, doused us both with it. Then walked away. I admire a woman with fragrance cojones like that. Even when she sprays my eye.

At any rate, my hetero-girl-girl airport crush aside, other people loved the fragrance as well. Of course I bought my first bottle right there at the airport, still squinting with one eye. I received more compliments from strangers (four women in that airport alone stopped me to ask what I was wearing) that one afternoon after having been sprayed upside the head than ever before on a scent. And I loved it myself. I really, really loved it.

Many years later, I still do. That is why it is one of only two fragrances you will ever catch me wearing. If, of course, you can catch me at all ; )~

Lotus, Freesia, Cyclamen, Rose Water, Fresh Peonies, Carnation, White Lilies, Precious Woods, Osmanthus, Tuberose, Amberseed, Musk.

Description

This is one of those stocking stuffers that makes me jump up and down and clap my hands like a retarded circus seal. And yes, I really do bounce.

If you want to class it up a bit (maybe as a hostess gift?) pair it with a nice bottle of hooch.

Seasonally sassy.

HOOKER MEDALLIONS

First to recommend

Description

Corey Helford is a lady I'd like to knock a few martinis back with.

Not only is she a talented artist and jewelry designer but she has the cojones to unabashedly use hookers as her prime subject matter in a way that balances the obvious sensationalism with a certain elegance. If there is such a thing as slutty dignity- and I tend to think there most certainly is, at least in the proper lighting lol- then she's nailed it.

Why do I think that's great? Because when the hell is the last time you saw hooker art on a pendant? I mean, have you EVER? I haven't. And I am so thirsty for design (pardon the pun in advance) that ventures "outside the box" that I want to celebrate it at every opportunity.

The thought "I wish I had a hooker medallion" has never crossed my mind. Until today. Now I want one. Really want one. Do I think they're demeaning to women? No. The contrary. Just my opinion, but I believe that by utilizing the subject with her "Yeah, so they're hookers. So what?" attitude she humanizes a group of women that many of us have stripped of identities and reduced to a stereotype. Her subjects exude power in my eyes. Now, I wouldn't feel this way if they were 16-year-olds out on the street. But these women very much look like they want to be where they are. They used their freedom of choice. So they're hookers? So what.

Love these. Never would have thought I would but I do. As for the above rant, perhaps I'm overthinking it just to justify the purchase. Eh, so what. Bottom line? These are cool.
