Vin In Snow

Here is more captive French vin, yesterday there was champagne and today there is some rose in snow, and rose vin and snow do mix well I think.

Richard Baker, Artist

In my art appreciation, here is today's spotlight and it's on Richard Baker the painter who was called to my attention today for the first time.

Pink pearl (?), 2006

This film study murmurs to me in hushed tones - Shade, 2007

But especially, Tray Gray 2006, speaks volumes to me

A Simpler Scent for Everyday Use

 Have developed a liking for this simpler and more vulgar scent, also much cheaper too.

Denim Original eau de toilette but also Denim Black which I mentioned earlier on the blog.

Actually, this scent is nothing new as it previously existed as an after-shave, starting from the late 1980s, and I myself frequently used it in the 1990s - early 2000s but then it seemed to have disappeared for a while.

It is notable that at that time it was manufactured by Elida Faberge (an Averell Harriman company, the very same one) and Unilever.

But this version appears to be a re-launch and is now made by some Italian company, unrelated to the above, however as far as I can tell, it smells authentic.

I guess Original is a variety of Fougère and Chypre type of scents.

Gentleman's Accessories: Silk Tie Wipes

 Here is something from my hoard of gentleman's accessories...

 

It's... silk stain remover tissues, mainly for emergency use on silk ties... as in when you stain them with food and drink or something else altogether, some bodily secretions maybe - eww.

And it's from Harrods, London, too!

Funny how I seem to have no recollection of shopping for them there ) but I must have!

Lots of photos, as per usual.





And now with some of the silk ties they are supposed to be used on.
