I know I've been obsessed with YouTube lately, but please. You are gonna die.
This commercial for Aviance perfume (Marvin asked, "Was it fancy perfume?" Yeah, no.) was on 79 times a day. My friend Beth and I used to watch the soaps, from All My Children through General Hospital, and this ridiculous thing would come on constantly.
At the end, there? Where she opens the door? We used to say she was asking her husband, "Do I have a boog in my nose?" and he was nodding yes.
I am equally as mature today, because that memory came flooding back to me and I giggled for 45 minutes.
Anyway, this beautiful commercial segues to today's Pieces of Wisdom query: What perfume did you wear in high school?
Someone in the comments suggested this idea, and I would love to give you credit but it's 7:35 and I am in my robe and cannot comb the comments. But good idea! ...person!
I wore Gloria Vanderbilt perfume. I let it release the splendor of me.
Okay. I promise I will get over YouTube soon. Hello, 2002. YouTube is cool! Where are my Uggs?
Creepily, there was this guy, Jerry? I met him at a party in 11th grade. I had a boyfriend, but he was not at that particular party. Anyway, the next night my boyfriend and I came back to my house and there was a sign in the yard listing all the things I had told Jerry the night before, like what songs I liked and the perfume I wore, because I think I had joked that Jerry was drunk and wouldn't remember.
He came around a few times in my senior year, and then as a young adult I ran into Jerry again with his new girlfriend? And she was wearing Vanderbilt perfume. She told me that Jerry had bought it for her.
Ooooooweeeeeeooooo!
It was because Vanderbilt had released the splendor of me. With my Zena baggy jeans and my docksiders. I mean, who could resist? Plus, there was that class ring.
Okay, tell me what perfume you wore in high school. Perhaps I will find YouTube commercials of your signature scent. I know!
