I really can’t take those cheap, synthetic colognes or fragrances of any kind, like candles or home airfreshners or little evergreens that hang from rear view mirrors. It’s like they almost get there, but not quite and they “degrade” fast, smelling really really bad.
1st Coworker of Jester: “She said it was real porn.”
Jester: “Real porn? As in, REAL porn?”
1StCoJ: “She said.”
“I never see real porn around here. Real porn with penetration and bodily fluids? No way. It’s always just women with lowcut tops.”
2nd CoJ: “If we look at the recent history, we can find the site.”
Jester: “Not exactly. If you want to look at porn at work, google it. It won’t show up so easily.”
2nd CoJ: “Ah, ok.”

2nd CoJ: “You know what the site was?! A Mediatakeout video of Kim Kardashian!”
Jester: “I knew it!”
MM, you are absolutely right that it’s more complicated than it used to be. The whole Target thing was one of the emails I got recently. I was at Target this morning, and that’s what inspired by post this a.m. I asked myself if it was more important for me to boycott Target due to those campaign contributions or get cheap bleach, febreeze and lysol. Well, I came home with cheap bleach, febreeze and lysol so there went my indignation!
i hear ya donatella. i’m highly allergic to alot of them, which is why it’s so infuriating to be assaulted when walking around outdoors!
I kind of like coffee, esplanade and negligent…
I wouldn’t know who Kim Kardashian is if she were sitting next to me.

Jester, you have some of the oddest conversations/random occurrences of anyone I’ve ever met!

Ugh – you can smell the cheap tween cologne wafting from the open door of Hollister in Soho for almost a 3 block radius. Absolutely disgusting.

Love those definitions, Donatella. Oyster is my fave 🙂 And sadly, abdicate and flabbergasted apply to me!
