2nd March 2004

She showed me her's so I showed her mine!

I was so impressed with Jeanne’s photograph for yesterday.
The reflection of the surface at the bottom of the container that then disappeared into the smoothness at the top, I found almost breathtaking.
Have another look.

The funny thing was that we both use fragrances from the same range.
She of course the Dolly Mixture, myself the same but with a hint of Sheep Dip. (joke)

I knew I would never be able to emulate her photograph but I have thoroughly enjoyed playing with my ideas.

I enjoy wearing the fragrance on high days and holidays, also when I go up to London.
I have sent the address of Jeanne’s photograph to Chanel in New York.

I was given some after shave for Christmas years ago (I have other gifts of such since of course!) This particular brand - Pagan Man, I think it was called, was horrendous!! Never used it at all, except come March we had a sheep lamb and reject on of her own lambs. Now the thinking is if you can get them to smell the same then often as not the sheep will accept both lambs. Enter the Pagan Man liberally applied onto the lambs and onto the sheeps nose ......... yes you've guessed, she wouldn't have either of them after that!! So maybe they do have a hint of sheep dip - sheep BTW hate the smell of that judgeing the lenghts they'll go to not to go into the sheep bath!!

Cool shot Chris!

I love the reflection in this one. Very classy look and great composition. Did you send the link to this image to Chanel, also? Don't be modest. You should.

Never knew these things were so photogenic. Very nicely done and a tribute to Jeanne's inspiration. I'll have to see if we have any thing like this around the house. :-) Gets a vote.
