      yeah, I like the bottle. I’m so out of touch with celebri-anything…I was like “oh, so that’s Shakira…”

        Daisy, did you know you are haunting my school’s library and the elevators?

          hahahaha ….well, Krok, I used to be a cataloging librarian so it’s not that unlikely…. sounds like you are having a good time sampling :-)
          oh…and I found my missing bottle of Messe de Minuit! Sneaky thing was hiding wayyyyyy in the back. I’ll send a sample in our next sample-fest.

            You used to be a librarian!?! Well, no wonder we get along so well!!! I think there are a lot of us floating around here – librarians have good taste! :-)

    Good Grief.

    It’s like she can’t decide whether she wants to be Mariah Carey or Jessica Simpson. Anyway, I saw her perform that song a few months ago, American Idol or some TV show. It sucked. Probably just like that perfume will. (Yes I am in a snarky, foul mood today). I will now go to luckyscent and spend some money on perfume to create myself a little happy. :-)

      I don’t know her, as usual. Not my type of music so can’t comment.

    She’s a comely, talented lass, but, not to be Debbie Downer about it, I don’t get how it’s OK to sing, “I’m a gypsy…Might steal your clothes and wear them if they fit me…I don’t make agreements, just like a gypsy.”

    Nothing to do with the perfume, but I just about fell out of my chair in shock when I heard this song. Maybe Sarkozy has this song on a loop on his iPod.

      Good call not including those lyrics in the commercial…

      Maybe if she changed the lyrics to something like ‘might steal your vintage bottle of pre-reform Mitzy if I see it” we could all get on board…lol. The hips don’t lie, you know.
      Sadly, I would put folded money on the fact that she wouldn’t know a vintage bottle of mitsouko if it hit her upside the head.

    I love Shakira! I saw her in concert a few years back in Chicago, she’s a big deal. I have no interest in this perfume, but I could see this doing really well.
