I own it, and regularly get compliments on it! I'm a celebrity fragrance sellout! :)

Yeah, I was just popping in to say - how heteronormative of Gaga.

I thought it smelled like the perfume form of Dr Pepper

I wanted to like it because of the gimmicky color of it but it just smelled like vanilla extract to me. Though nothing is more subjective than taste in scent.

Smells sinful to me...

I think they're taping customers so the customers will be shamed into staying away.

No of the customers. They're trying to make people ashamed to go there.

I also wondered about that and have the same sneaking suspicion that you do that the boss is "encouraging" these women to do this. A good stripper can work anywhere, I would imagine, so she doesn't have much to lose if one strip club goes out of business. The owner, however, loses everything.

I forget the exact term but they would buy your structured settlement for a fraction of the long-term amount. In other words, you win the lottery or a lawsuit and they paid a lump sum or increments over a…

I had a "recruiter" contact me to interview for a collections job, and I didn't recognize the name of the place (and I had been out of work for a few months) so I went. Got there and it was a payday loan place. I didn't even go in. My god, giving those loans would be soul-sucking enough, I can't imagine how awful…
