Fear the BPAL

[kiya]

I have now placed my first Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab order, in my ongoing tentative explorations of this whole being a girl thing.

I blame cangelo. I was successfully resisting the lure until you mentioned 13 at the training weekend, and curiosity ... rising .... ;)


[ I could dither about whether to post this with the 'scents' icon keyword or the 'inexplicable femme moments' keyword, but they go to the same userpic. I suppose I could do the bowerbird if I wanted to go the 'acquisitiveness' route, and there are blue bottles.... ]

hmm... does "being a girl" necessarily == ornamental or self-decorative, though?

I have, historically speaking, an extremely uncertain relationship to any form of conventional femininity, which has been largely rooted in overreaction. As I've gotten more comfortable with the concept of gender-as-toy I wind up wanting a wider variety of playthings.

Welcome to the obsession? (I have an order of imps I need to place, too.)

I LOVE them!

Did you just order 13, or some other things too? I have an order coming myself if you want to sniff any of the things I get when they get here.

The waiting, that's the hard part.

Other things. No sense in just one.

I got one that is fairly compatible with my general scent preferences, one with jasmine in (one of the few sweet scents I like, and the oil named for one of the goddesses I'm drawn to; I was doomed), the signature oil, and 13.

Totally irrelevant, but I love your icon!

*grin* He's a character in Yuyu Hakusho, one of the few in that show I don't want to strangle. ;) He's my 'scent' icon 'cause in one of the episodes I saw he wound up tracking a phase-shifting monster by smell ...

I know. I watch that show too. I love him and Hiei the best. Hehe.

I think that's a great power to have being a fox demon. :-)

Ha. I have something upwards of two dozen imps, and t wo full bottles. Let me know if there's an imp you want - I can look and see if I have it in the stash.
