…she gave him sex appeal…and Other Musings
Posse! It’s STANKIN’ HOT!!! out here – high of 90F!!
… at FIVE pm.
::daHECK!you say!!!::
Anyhow – looks as if I’m going to have to take my laptop in – it’s not talking to my mouse… not itself!( Shruuug) – oh,well. I think we’re still in Retrograde so I guess I should be grateful it hasn’t risen up and tried to choke me! Day’s still young, though…
So! Musings! I haz ’em!
The title refers to the extreme heat and sun, which means Hawaiian Tropical still rules! My Summer go-to,Hermes Pamplemousse Rose, is a gorgeous accompaniment but it gets eaten rather quickly in 90s temps. Plus it’s a tad too chilly and refined for this rambunctious weather and vicious sunshine after the pouring rains. I’m a Jean-Claude Ellen’s fangirl from was way back, loving the restrained beauty of (especially) his Hermes oeuvre – it reminds me of Grace Kelly ( her public persona) – the alt, chilly beauty that Everyman aspires to. Verra elegant.
But sometimes? Sometimes you just wanna Jane Russell it, ya know? Maybe on a (cotton – WAAAAY! too hot for synthetic or…(gasp!) Wool!!!) blanket under a shade tree.. I found the Jane Russell version of Pamp Rose in Maison Margiela Never Ending Summer ( which I insist on calling ‘Endless Summer ‘ – sorry MM, I’ll try to do better) . It’s startlingly similar Pamp Rose , but where HSH Grace wears a bespoke suit and kid gloves Jane is in cutoffs and cowboy boots! I’m thinking cowboy cutoffs FTW! It’s Too Darn Hot to be in a suit and gloves. Never Ending Summer has that hint of ‘Big Ol’Nasty Redhead’ vibe that HTropic absolutely LOVES!
I have a small sample from StC… But I think I see a FB in my Very Near Future!
The First Peach. 10 days back the First Peach ripened. Oh,SO good! I invited friends to come pick.. First Peaches are special.. and they trigger childlike wonder …But also childish reactions. ‘Oh! You… brought a BOX!?’
10 DAYS LATER,after a week of extreme heat and torrential rains. ‘Oh! You only brought ONE box!? Lemme get you another!!’. I’ve processed So Damb Many Peaches! Chicken/bacon meatballs with Habanero- peach gravy ( in the freezer for colder weather)! Grilled! Pureed! Cobbler! M ore cobbler! MOAR cobbler!!!
Hurled into the stratosphere!!
( which Autotrash changed to…CHEETOS!!!?!). And I have yet ANOTHER tree about 10 days out!
I did process 5 gallon bags of cobbler base while wearing vintage Mitsouko perfume. It wasn’t a fail.. But I felt a bit like a fraud, wearing my Mistress’s perfume while covered in peach skin and juice all over the place. Luckily Mitsy Don’t Care so I can happily wear her again. Forever.
But … did I mention that I’m sick of peaches?
What are YOU up to? How’s your weather ( it’s all we talk about here) –
Do you want some peaches??
