    This is the grossest thing I will ever type in cyber world. But a former lover had the most carnal body odor I’ve ever encountered. Talking armpits–not down there. :),
    It was heavenly.

    I’m really glad she did this. I think it’s wonderfully imaginative art, very fringe. I don’t, however, have any desire to go sniff it. There’s a lot of art I don’t care for, but I’m still glad it was made and I can appreciate the artistry, even if it’s not “my thing.”

      On the one hand, it is imaginative, and I think it’s cool too. On the other, people like Sissel Tolaas have been doing this kind of thing for ages — not really “the first time”.
