Bravo!
Yep, famous nude od self, check. M7 ad, check. But fragrances? Not the most accomplished (to my taste, which is as good as anyone else's, of course).
ReplyDeleteFashion-wise? have seen better both post-YSL and before
P.S.I think karma may have struck back big time - keyboard is freezing up on me. Took me 21 minutes to write this at all...
P.P.S. Keep it up Nick!
hey peter. not crazy bout YSL fragrance either - like chanel's 'pour monsieur' - great citrus summery scent. and the couture selection only reflects what's google-able - a poor excuse i know but ... (gimme a break - LOL). take care my friend ... in your ice box.
