I woke up bright (well in the dark, that’s a first 
) and early this morning and have been idly browsing the forum while basking in friend-love (okay, own up, which of you came to my house and dosed me with Shine in my sleep?)
So it’s time for straight TAH-lking and my report on a week (or so) of use: it was a week of classes and stuff so I had little time to do much social things.
I’ll start with a note on application points:
I used to apply to the wrists because I thought it was a good, mobile application point. While it’s perfect for those times where you need to waft things around, elbows perform much better on the diffusion thing.
Scene 1: Meeting TG for holiday preparation errands
IS/A (2, neck & chest), Shine (1, hair), TAH (3, neck, each elbow)
Feeling: Cute and young immediately after sprays of TAH…
This is definite change from IS/A feelings where I feel like the queen bee.
Reaction: As we were walking on the avenue, some guy in a penis costume approached me. He was on his stag do, so needed to ask me some question and to get a kiss on his (also penis shaped) plastic nose.
I could bring myself just to blow (no pun intended 
lol) by and stalk off as I normally do. TG looked at me in a slightly worried/they-have-you-now way. The guy starts to ask me some question and I look in a pleading way at TG to do something (and get me the f@#$k out of there!) and he loses the smug smile.
He growls “Come on, we haven’t got all day.” and gives the other guy a rather impatient look.
Also definitely a change because TG’s normally a fairly laid back, “no harm done” guy.
Scene 2: Late for class but still the teacher’s pet
IS/A (2, neck & chest), MX134 (1 split between wrists), TAH (3, neck, each elbow)
Feeling: Cute student feel. Even when I was a highschooler, I didn’t feel this highschoolish.
Hello, where is my competent, adult me?
Reaction: I was pretty late for class (work training) but the teacher was really nice about it. Even the other students were OK with me being late (wtf? )
Throughout, everyone was really friendly and treated me a little like a kid, even this guy I know quite well and who is younger. He was super nice, asked me a lot about my interests during lunch, which we took together.
Scene 3: Drowned!
Straight TAH (3, same as previous)
Feeling: Cute and wide-eyed, a little worried about the big wide world
Reaction: Just off the bus, I went to the newspaper stand to get a magazine. The couple operating it were really rude to customers, yelling at them to look for their stuff on their own. I couldn’t see what I wanted, so I braved the beasts and asked. The guy came out and pointed the magazine (it was in the front row 
) so I apologized and he grunted “S’ok”.
I then picked up another one and gave my card to pay. The woman grunted, obviously displeased but processed the transaction without comment.
I then went to meet a friend for coffee. He was really nice, a bit more tolerant about my flexible timing (ahem, late…) and we had a nice time. After this, I decided to walk to the restaurant.
It started raining.
And by raining, I mean monsoon season, not just any old rain.
When I got to the restaurant, I was drenched. The wait staff were really nice (they’ve known me since I was knee-high, so they’re usually nice) and one guy was particularly sympathetic to my drowned rat status.
They even brought us both the special appetizer reserved for their clientele AND the house-special, although I don’t know if this is because I’m a regular or them being extra-nice.
Nothing else of note, I guess the pheros got washed away… but I didn’t do anything after the restaurant.
Scene 4: The Princess and the Taxi
This was after getting my little make-up case stolen so needed perky and super dosed it.
MX274 (3, neck, hair, wrists), IS/A (neck), Instant Shine with 5x cops (front of head), TAH (3, same as previous) - I covered this mish-mash with Jo Malone’s Black Pomegranate which really blankets everything, you can only smell THAT.
Feeling: Cute but more like myself
Reaction: Late for a prowl in a bar (are we detecting a pattern that our heroine is chronically late?), I hopped in a cab to get there.
The cabbie immediately said “Where’s the princess going?” so I said the destination address. After a few minutes (no more than 2, we weren’t even around the roundabout), he says “Princess smells so good I might kindnap her and keep her for myself”. It was said in a nice way so I didn’t feel creeped out.
He was really friendly and kept the natter up the whole way.
At the bar, no one was particularly friendly. I was wearing a new blouse that I’d just bought. It should have been great but it hung strangely and gave me a fat/monoboob look (wearing a cotton cami, perhaps I shouldn’t have). Also I think I looked awful, now that I’ve had a look at the pics.
After one drink and having enough of being ignored by the (obviously) trendier-than-me set, me and my friends left to have a coffee in a small place near the subway.
It was nicer and I even got a free snack 
I put down the feeling awful to the new blouse badly coordinated and my tiredness… the people not really giving me the time of day, well, it’s pretty usual in the circles that I sometimes have to move in. If you’re not a 6ft super-babe with blonde locks, you’re furniture.
Production notes:
TAH seems to be leaving a lasting effect. I’m also enjoying throwing the loop on it, by acting my usual alpha-bitch self. TG seems to like it better that way and responds really well to that.
Next up: Oooh, perhaps straight TAH (or MX282/106/TAH) on TG?
…thought you could use a good dose, or ten, after being robbed.
I never wear the A without the B/TAH…but that’s me. I just don’t have room for all the bodies.
gave it to my little sister tho, who’s using it with some great results. ill update more on that later
