And I was just thinking the other day how JPG Classique is really the perfect bottle-it's so easy to hold.

I went by Nordstrom to see if they had it, but they didn't. I am actually looking forward to trying this, thanks for reviewing it! It would look great next to my bottle of Betsey Johnson...

Sorry, doll. But if you could maybe come up with a sudden intense passion for Kurt Elling, my little heart could go all fickle in a flash.

Fond memories of many an excellent concert in Wash. DC & Baltimore back in the day. I regret not being able to see them until after Lowell died. Have you heard The Bridge, a band from Baltimore with quite the Feat influence in their sound? Their debut album a few years ago really brought a smile to my face, and they have a terrific new CD. Thanks, Nava, for making me think back over the many concerts I've enjoyed. I 2nd Musette on jazz in small venues!! The rock concerts standing out in my mind are: Paul Simon & Ladysmith Black Mambazo on the Graceland tour.. Sting in the mid-80's... and Billy Joel & Elton John touring together 6 or 7 years ago (saw them twice, and Joel was really great, quite surprising to me; I thought Elton John would kick his butt.) Just this spring David Byrne took no prisoners in a great theatre venue on a new tour. We were thrilled that he did a lot of Talking Heads as well as his new material. James Taylor still has a great voice after 40+ years, and continues to write good new material. Unfortunately, Paul McCartney does not sound so strong 40 years later... But Fiordiligi's comment above about seeing the Beatles in Liverpool definitely wins the day. Imagine! Extra fun to see in a smaller venue---The Decemberists, Sister Hazel, Barenaked Ladies. Ben Folds, used to do this thing bouncing the microphone off the piano strings that you have to see & hear live ;) Re: bottles 2nd Shelly on the Chanel Exclusive line magnetic caps. Very satisfying although it's too bad the bottles are much too big to hold comfortably. SJP's Covet bottle, with the brown plastic flower top seems right to me for some reason, go figure. The By Kilian bottles are really very well done too, very classy with heft. But I have no problems with decants in utilitarian bottles-- I'm all about the juice inside! Cheers to all the music & perfume lovers! Art & creativity reigns on these blogs, doesn't it? Carter & Nava– my fellow perfumista Little Feat fans! Fond memories of many an excellent concert in Wash.
