...pulls on t-shirt.

Lets go!

Hugo Boss. Your fragrance. Your rules.

Riiiiight.

So let me get this straight.

I'm a cool and happening individual yeah?

I do things my way yeah? I'm a rebel, an agenda setter who plays it his way and to hell with the consequences?

So why the **** am i gonna buy something because an advert tells me too, eh?

Morons. I can't believe people get paid for this ****.

smells nice though

I'm not a fan of boss

then again I'm not big on aftershaves. I think lynx smells nicer ^_^

I love adverts like that. "You're not at all completely open to suggestion, you shrewd cool thing you. Here's a product that someone of your obviously advanced sense of perception will just looooove!!"

It's kind of clever, kind of deceptive and evil. And pretty damn funny half the time...

I'm more of an Axe fan. On guys, I mean... the adverts are sad and funny, but it does smell nice. I prefer Dark Vanilla for myself.

Which isn't called Axe in the UK, it's called Lynx. Yet another thing we Brits must be different about.

I wonder if Lynx will eventually go down the Marathon/Snickers, Opal Fruits/Star Burst, Nova/Corsa rourte?

Post by **Kaylee** » Mon May 23, 2005 7:50 am

I personally preferred the name Opal Fruits

tbh I like the idea of visiting another country and finding everything different, it's one of the points of going to another country. Course it also makes marketers and advertiser's lives harder which can only be a good thing!

one brand to rule them all... and in the darkness bind them

we are so screwed as a race.

Me too. The name has that implication that they taste of fruit! Whereas Starburst... what, it tastes of stars? Eh?

The Marathon/Snickers thing... the pun value since the name change has been worth it. Chocolate that sounds half like womens underwear is always funny...

Aftershave's always great. I mean the mere concept of whacking alcohol into my open pores excites me like nothing else.

I find aftershave a necessary evil sadly

My skins is absolutely awful (I'm constantly being told its not, but I know it is really...) so I have to use loads of the damn stuff to keep my skin clean and free of acne. So it goes on my cheeks, forehead and even on my back (its a spray aftershave).

why can't they just give me an injection that makes my skin nice, like it was when I was 13?

Thing is tho I still can't tell aftershaves apart... its just an astringent far as I'm concerned.

Post by **Best First** » Mon May 23, 2005 10:57 am

what stuff do you useon yoru skin K? does it work?

- if you don't mind me asking of course.

Post by **Kaylee** » Mon May 23, 2005 12:39 pm

aftershave. as its an alchohol it kills all the crap on the skin which would otherwise make acne (i get the red blotchy kind)

I get it on my back too, hence using it there.

If you mean for blackheads, the only thing I know for a fact works is a sort of cosmetic surgery where they literally remove the top couple of layers of skin, and all the crap they contain, leaving you with fresh clear skin underneath.

The name of that escape me atm tho... when it comes to me I'll tell you

I keep meaning to find out how much it costs

Post by **Kaylee** » Mon May 23, 2005 12:45 pm

i remembered ^_^

Microdermabrasion.

They use a fine wand thing to remove the top layers of skin on your face. Its apparently painless. It wo't stop you getting more acne, but I've certainly got some that hasn't healed since I was a teenager so it would be brilliant to get rid of it...

That and since I got more vigorous with keeping my face clean (just normal moisturising soap [Dove] and a hard flannel, give it a good scrub in the morning before you shave ^_^] i might actually have pretty skin without foundation.

The Lynx Effect - Mild nausea, some vomiting and acute ostracisation.

Still, it's got to be better than that awful thing some women wear that, to me at least, smells like rotting vegetation.

I'm allergic to most deodorants...

hence I almost never use them.. ussually because some female in the family has some special occassion, and even tho I don't smell like sweat I have to use it..grrr..females, or enjoy people who use them! I ussually make it known, politely, or not so politely, given some interesting individuals, that they need to p*ss off, and don't stand next to me, and give me shortness of breath.

Smokers or other people with truly dangerous fumes receives no mercy whatsoever from me...

You, er, stand next to them and choke to death? Sounds effective.

is this ever really an issue?

Death's Head · Post by **Death's Head** » Tue May 24, 2005 12:02 am

In all honesty, I use aftershave purely for the sting. The smell's good and all but when you smoke as much as me it never really lasts much.

But the Sting. By God, the Sting! I just don't feel ready to go out until I've lacerated my face and then cauterised it in the most painful way imaginable.

And I feel all nice and smooth after.

Having typed all this, for some reason I think it makes me come off a bit like Tubbs...

Stuff that stinks?

I can't stand flowery perfumes. They're horrid. Or the kind that smells of citrus... or this horrid "ocean breeze" or something ****. I'm not sure from where it comes, but it's flurking awful.

Stong perfumes/deoderants give me headaches. Used to not like 'em much myself til I was given the one I mentioned above as a gift and found that I could actually stand wearing it.
