Saturday is David Bowie’s birthday and Sunday is National Apricot Day. We’re marking all the occasions with the “visual media” version of our winter reading poll.
Tell us…
…any great tv shows you’ve discovered recently, and/or
…any great movies you’ve seen lately, and
…of course, tell us the matching perfume(s)!
Or, as always, just talk about something else…
We added extra spring and fall viewing polls last year, and then did another this spring (in olden times we only did one in the winter) because so many people were consuming more television during the Covid-19 pandemic. Now that the pandemic is shifting to endemic, do we still need extra viewing polls? You tell me. We’re having one today regardless, and I was thinking we would repeat the fall listening poll in a week or so? Feedback is encouraged.
So do tell us…
…what fragrance you’re wearing today?
…any great tv shows or movies you’ve discovered recently, and/or
…anything else fun you’ve been streaming to stay occupied (exercise videos? anything),
Or, as always, just talk about something else…
Happy Sitcom Friday! Our community project for today: name a favorite sitcom, and wear a fragrance that reminds you of the show in general, or one of the characters.
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
I’m wearing Calvin Klein ck one for Community, which I tried but failed to like several times before it took (or, before I watched enough episodes to get it). It is also true that for me, it’s much easier to fall for a sitcom when it’s already over and I don’t have to watch it on network television, one episode a week, with commercials and all. We are currently in the middle of Season 3, and at the moment, it easily makes my list of all time top 5 favorite sitcoms…
The film is divisive; the fragrance less so. Tuesday afternoon, my mum drops by to see the grandkids. She likes the scent, too. She says that it has pleasant notes. The six-year-old, meanwhile, can barely leave it alone. He demands that I spray the air by his head so that he can jump back and forth through the mist, just as he does with the sprinkler in the park. He reeks of Persona, but is that such a bad thing? It’s herby, it’s lavender. It smells like the sea.

We did a visual media poll last March because so many people were stuck at home (usually we only did this poll in the middle of winter). Possibly we don’t need to do a repeat in 2021, but we’ll do one more and see how much interest there is? And coming soon: the swapmeet, on 24 April, followed by the spring reading poll, on 1 May.
