those doll girl bottles have always freaked me out a little bit… they just kind of stare at you!
also, the juice is boring. you'd think a fashion designer with such an interesting aesthetic would have come up with something quirkier and maybe even darker/gothic-smelling…
Spooky I was just about to mention the scary hoodoo dolly head, it's nice to know I'm not alone in being slightly alarmed at them.
They both sound like good puddings to me.
All the Dolly Girl bottles are horrible, but this new one is the worst by far.
In fact, come to think of it, Anna Sui's bottles are pretty uniformly awful, except for the first one (that amethyst glass wrapped in gothic lace, so pretty) and Flight of Fancy, which is a decent pastiche of some fan-topped Lalique bottles.
HAHA! Bride of Chucky stuffed in a perfume bottle comes to mind!
LOL Yogina..
The bottle both fascinates & repels me…I mean, it at least has a sense of humor, maybe? But don't know a darned thing about AS or her aesthetic, so maybe that is all in my mind.
LOL!!
As I said above, don't know much about AS, but assume she is aiming for a pretty young audience? Dunno.
I think putting “Lil'” in the name is both hilarious and genius. I wish more companies would follow suit: Lil' Shalimar, Lil' Angel, Lil' Rive Gauche…the possibilities are endless.
LOL! Lil' Shalimar! Excellent.
Li'l Djedi for a total brain-cramp!
Those Anna Sui bottles freak me out. I mean seriously, is that really necessary?
Wow, that *is* brain cramp.
But many people love them! So I'd guess AS thinks they're necessary
*laughing so hard at the bride of chucky thing*
oh god at least i'm not alone in thinking the bottles are horrible!
Mamabear, you almost got my brains in a permanent state of cramp…..djedi….jedi…and I was thinking of Star Wars.!
Djedi is a perfume?!? Never ever heard about that one..
Djedi is an old Guerlain fragrance of such uncommon gravity that the notion of it being in a goofy little bobble-head bottle is……..well, it just isn't imaginable! For more info on Djedi, Google “Djedi” + “Guerlain” – there are reviews of it out there. It is said that Vero Kern's Onda closely resembles it – haven't sniffed the Onda yet so I couldn't say….
They reissued Djedi a few years ago but I think it's again discontinued. Bottles go for ridiculous sums. I'm not quite up to the fragrance myself, though I love most of the old Guerlains. Hope you're having a great weekend. I spent my Saturday washing curtains and spraying them with Muguet des Bois. Smells like spring in here, even though it's hailing outside!
Wow Mb, had no idea about Djedi. I know that I never gave the 'pre-war' perfumes much thought, well exept for the famous ones of course that are still being mentioned.
So nice, more to explore in perfume world.
How do people respond to you when you wear Fracas for example? I mean that is also a heavyweight from before.
Today it is a lovely early spring day and my Hb and I go to a terrace overlooking Prague, to see if we can have lunch with a good glass of wine outside again.
Good girl, washing your curtains…you have spring in your system..your house must smell wonderfull now with Muguet du Bois!!
Fracas is one of those fragrances that is a stunner. People either love it or they hate it. Most people seem to like it on me, but I layer it and wear it very sparingly. The sillage is a beast! I was holding a baby whilst wearing Fracas and he smelled of it for the rest of the day!
Your day sounds like a lovely one. We're in the midst of storms and very unstable weather here – fighting the 'wet dog' smell. Two wet Rottweilers……..
In a strange way the Anna Sui bottles reminds me of all those frightening busts of Mary that my grandmother used to have sitting around the house… Yikes
LOL! I hope Mary was looking a bit more demure than Dolly Girl Lil' Starlet
Oh lord, if only I had a camera, lol! It's a pretty close tie between some of the statues and Dolly Girl, lolol!
Perhaps best if we don't see, LOL…
