Everything I touched turned to gold vanilla
I was walking around the mall last night with a friend, and we went into one of those Bath Oil and Lotion shops so she could buy something. This place was like a foreign world to me, all of the creams, balms, peels, lotions, treatments, etc. I had no idea that half of this stuff existed.
So there was this tester bottle of a hand lotion that smelled like vanilla and something else I forgot (more vanilla?), and I tried it out, naturally putting on way too much and having to wipe the excess onto my pant legs. This was an affirmation of my masculinity: I don't think girls are generally allowed to wipe lotion onto their pant legs, at least not in public. Well this stuff smelled pretty good, a little bit foofoo, but it didn't matter since I was just going home after the mall. Well, apparently this lotion is industrial strength, because even after:
- a night of sleep
- a shower this morning (handling more than one type of cleaning substance)
- an application of a different type of lotion (which is actually Vaseline in cream form; yes, I have very dry hands)

I think I read where that's permanent, you're going to smell like a vanilla-fudge cake forever.

I really don't know what it is, but I've heard the word tossed around when I'm hanging out with the ladies.

Man, my wife lurves those shops.
I got her a couple of bottles of those froufrou hand lotions for her birthday a couple months back and, like, I'm still her hero for it.
They do smell nice tho'. 'Cos, mmmm, vanilla.
Okay, now it's your turn | Home
