Vulva?

I thought I'd run out of things to say. Nothing left but angst. I figured everyone on my flist had read enough angst, so that left me no other option but silence.

And then this morning I read (in Salon) that a German company is marketing a new fragrance that is called - and supposedly smells like a - "Vulva".

Thank you, Germans. You've amused me once again.

You may be forced to watch an ad first if you don't have a Salon membership. And fair warning: the site for the perfume itself - which I have NOT linked to here, but is linked to from the Salon story - is apparently quite NSFW.

I'm trying to imagine who would buy this, apart from exceptionally eccentric Germans - women, probably, although who knows?

The comments in the Salon piece are pretty funny, too. They cover all of the humorous possibilities that I've thought of so far (such as a male version of the scent, for example).

It would take the Germans to make me smile on a morning like this.

Behind the curtain

Since 41° 59' , -71° 31', rising was such a failure (so far, no one who has read it has gotten it), I'm going to do something that a writer should never do, and explain. Then maybe someone can tell me where I went wrong.

So it goes.

Yahoo

I don't know if many people on here use it, but I recently activated Yahoo Messenger for my Yahoo account. I don't like it as much as Gtalk, and it's not on by default, but it is there and my Yahoo ID is pmaranci.

I've been doing a lot more chatting lately. I think it's cutting into my journaling, but not as much as I feared. Still, I'll have to keep an eye on it.

Paid

Just got myself a paid account here on LJ. Sort of a birthday present to myself.

So...what will that do for me? Will it allow me to make my journal look better?

Any suggestions or tips?
