Heat Wave

  Musette is panting…it’s 80 degrees here (yah.  right!)

I never paid much attention to Dancing With The Stars, except when Kirstie Alley went on and dropped all that way from moving around so much (note to Musette:  MOVE AROUND MORE).  But I think I am going to have to watch this season.  Where else can you see:

Martina Navratilova in makeup and a sequined dress, looking completely terrified?

Bad-ass Gladys KNIGHT? (she’s rockin’ it but I know Tristan is thrilled it’s a cha-cha, so he doesn’t have to do a lift.  yeah, I said it.  I worship every bone in her body – but there’s some meat on those bones!)

URKEL?

And this child up here.  I have watched a bazillion telenovelas and I have NEVAH!!! seen….well.  Well, let me tell you – he and Cheryl ….I was sitting here with my mouth Open, (I have to borrow March’s drooling duck here – nothing else will do).  This boy is HAWT!
He is so hot I almost forgot I had to chat with you guys.    But never fear.  I have a fun scent to talk about.  But first, a question:

Why does everybody dis The Rose?  I belong to several perfume forums and pages, etc…and so many people apologize for loving rose scents?   Well Miss Lizzie Zorn is completely unapologetic – and I am so blasted GRATEFUL!

Wait!  Before I get to the review?  May I just say that Urklel ROCKED!  I probably should be embarrassed to be hooked on DWTS – but it’s a guilty pleasure, much like loving the Rose.  So let’s get back to that, shall we?  Okay,  So Liz just released several new Sohivole scents and I was fortunate to win one of her sample sets via her FBook page (the other two in the set are Wild Ginger Chai and Lilas and Narcissus – if you like I can give you my thoughts on those in another post).  Here’s what she has to say about the one I’m wearing right now, Rosa Sur Reuse

“ROSA SUR REUSE  – Roses with an Oriental disposition are usually best left to cold winter days. We have taken the concept of  intense Roses and Tuberose and paired them with a bright Black Raspberry accord, Cinnamon and Cloves a hint of Violet and a light Oriental base. The intention was to create a Rose for all seasons.“

Well y’all know I will wear a rosy Oriental in the dead of 100+ summer heat, so I can’t relate to this – but I can definitely see where she is going with this one.  I was thinking it was violet that was zinging along in my nose, but it’s the blackberry (it has that salty zinginess like Sublime Balkiss).   – this is a juicy berry rose, perfect for the bizarre weather we’re having right now.  The berry really comes alive in the 70-80F weather and the brisk wind helps waft the rose along and keeps it from fighting with the tuberose.  Liz has definitely put her LizZornade stamp on this – any LZ fan could blind sniff this and know it’s hers.   The rose isn’t blowsy or old-fashioned – it’s got a hint of dirt and thorns that tips it into chiaroscuro.  This does not have one ‘old maid’ bone in its body.  If I weren’t so hefty I would spritz this with abandon (it’s an etd but there’s also a cologne aqueous as well as more concentrated perfume oil  strengths).  Then I’d don one of my corsets, put on some stilettos and go terrify that HAWT boy  man up there.  (btw – he’s now way, WAY hotter than the above photo, which is several years old  – he is now a Man- but I liked the horse)

this is how this child came to rehearsal.  I’m having trouble catching my breath!!!  Gawd help me, I’m A COUGAR!  (or maybe a grand-cougar?  I don’t know the age cutoff for cougarism but I’m willing to take a shot at it, if he is!)

Are any of you watching this show?  Who do you think will advance?  Lord, let it be this gorgeous thing.  And Gladys.  Because she is Gladys.  Or they could just get The Pips in there, knock everybody OUT!
