Um, Do you Wanna?

Hey, surprise, it’s me on a Friday!

So we were talking and thinking that Friday is our off day now, but I don’t really like having a day without a little something up.  Now that I’m writing a ton of content for the store, I can’t really take on more, unless we just talk about hair or caftans or whatever other thing I’m puttering about with.

So anyone want to do a little writing about perfume or cosmetics or other things? We make about enough on advertising to keep the blog running, so we pay you in love!

if you’ve ever wanted to do a little writing, and most of you should, you leave wonderful comments, you have a point of view, drop us a note with a sample of a review you’ve done for either some other blog or site like Makeup Alley or Basenotes, Fragrantica, etc. We’ll hold your hand and help you through the first post.and probably even throw some of this cat-butt perfume your way as additional thanks.  And since this is The Posse, we don’t care if you know everything about perfume or are a virtual newcomer, it is your unique voice and point of view that we want.  We won’t hold you to any commitment. If after a post or two you find you just don’t have enough time or it’s too much stress or not enjoyable, you can gracefully exit with the thanks of a Grateful Posse.

You also don’t need to commit to every week, unless you want to.  We are open to several writers who might rotate so it doesn’t become a job and suck the joy out of thinking about and wearing perfume.  Now, I’m going to borrow here from my son’s instruction on how to write a quality review.  Don’t ask, I’ve asked both of my sons numerous times to write about scent, and the closest I’ve gotten was a very weak  “well, maybe” one time just to get me to shut up.

“A quality review should be a well written, descriptive, personal opinion.  Please refrain from this “Tom Ford’s Amber Absolute is crap”. A quality review looks like: “Tom Ford’s Amber Absolute is a powerful amber perfume, its aroma is so fierce that I feel like I’ve been punched in the nose. The smell is penetrating, it’s like putting a beehive on my head”. 

So you wanna? Of course you do, you know it, just say yes, it will be fun

I would like to contribute occasionally. I am LaraJanine on MUA and Mrs. Honey here and have written the occasional perfume review. (I won a bottle in a draw for writing a review on Fragrantica.)

Hi Posse! I would absolutely love to contribute whenever needed. I run the perfume blog Scents of Self, here is one of my favorite posts: http://thescentsofself.com/2011/11/10/how-to-avoid-perfume-salespeople/

Thank you in advance for your consideration!

Please do consider me for the position of occasional contributor! I’m a perfumeaholic, but I claim to come by it naturally as my mom was a perfume junkie, too. I live in Denver and have access to afew stores with interesting inventories (Neiman Marcus, Hermes, Nordstrom) but my real hard core shopping takes place in Los Angeles (Scent Bar where I take a large triple shot whilte chocolate mocha latte with me as I settle in for afew hours of spontaneous comraderie and intensive smelling, Barneys, etc.. Fragrance is a wonderful thing to love!

Oh, Eldarwen, I think you’d be great!! I’m neither computer-savvy (my kids will be quick to chime in!) nor articulate in describing notes, but I am always willing to try if anyone gets sick, overworked, tired, etc. (cause y’all are such a fun bunch!)!

I have my own blog (http://realmofeldarwen22.blogspot.com) with perfume reviews on it. I would definatley be interested. I’m still kind of a new comer to perfume and not the greatest with describing notes and all of that.
