I have always liked Jean Patou, my mom had a Baccarat bottle of Joy parfum, and bought me Sublime when I was 17. As a child, I was always wearing either Royal Violet, or Guerlain's Eau de Cologne Imperiale. As a young adult , I liked JilSander. I also liked Guerlain's L'Heure Bleue and Aqua Allegoria Flora Nerolia. I…

Me too!

Yep, I live in Oregon and my sister lives in Florida. My brother hightailed it to Asheville. It's funny that the horrible ones stayed in FLA.

I would be the penguin in the right corner hiding behind the rock wall because butterflies & moths scare the shit out of me.

I have that dress in brown. Gunne Sax FTW!

We've been collecting Shun knives for years, and I still squee internally when cutting things.

OMG, do we still give COTD and cakes; because this is COTY!

A low cut/backless New Year's Eve ballgown?

Good luck! If you do end up out here in the PNW, look me up! I'm pretypenguin on twitter.

I need that for me! I also need that midi patchwork skirt.

It's funny. I like the beats used in her songs, and her voice. I do find it funny that she snarks on a culture that isn't even hers. I also thought one of the lines she uses "I'm rather older than I was when I rebelled without a care" is unintentionally hilarious. How old was Rebel Lorde, 9?

Yep, definitely better than the rest of the state, and the best Cuban food anywhere! I don't miss the family political dynamics. Hope wherever you move to is cool! I can say for sure that PDX is great & so is Asheville, NC. I went to school in VT & would've loved to live there, but the job situation isn't the greatest.

Me too!

So are these views held more by the the older generation, or the wise folk, and the general population is less likely to hold these views, or is there some other way these teachings are viewed? Would you mind clarifying?

The one where she's near Vancouver? That was some scary shit.

I'm sorry. I went there for 5 days while my BF had a conference. I stood out like a sore thumb. Plus, I had my period so I was in a mood. However, the bathroom in our suite at the Aria made up for a lot. I could live in that bathroom. It reminded me alot of Miami mixed with Disney World.

I can totally relate. My dad is Cuban-Chinese and my mom is Peruvian, I grew up in South Miami/Gables. My dad is in his 80s, and while he has gotten better about it, is racist towards Blacks, and has a derogatory stereotype about every other nationality. I think it's karma that my little bro has legit kinky haired…

Please tell us more about this Coquitlam story. Was he real?

Man, I wish my boobs were the first to lose weight. They are the last to go, and they are definitely too big.

Ugh, Miamian living in Portland, OR here. Portland's great in terms of "girl, you do you" but when I go home I'm "weird" for not following current fashions, wearing makeup or painting my nails. My hair is it's own entity, so when people hear that I barely do anything to it, I get the "but it's so long and pretty- you…
