Hi everyone,
This week I had to organize a 3 day public fundraiser for my classes’ vernissage at this local grocery store to do some “bagging” or “wrapping”. So there’s no friends’ or people (who knows me) involved in this. All the reactions are from total strangers.
Btw: I hate bagging, cause I have this weird phobia. I hate crowds, anything with crowds just make me incredibly nervous for no reason.
Day 1 Strong + Friendly mix
1 spray tal (@12.5mcg)
3 sprays instant shine x 5 cops
1 gel packet (SOE aka scent of eros)
Self effects: Oh mama, I felt bitchy already (but I thought it was appropriate because most of the people who came to this grocery store are total asses - I’m serious!) There was this time where I bagged 3 full carts of this lady’s groceries while she was bossing/yelling at me to bag-this-double-bag-that and I even carried a 16 gallon water bottle to her friggin mini van and that evil monster didn’t tip me at all. She just said “God bless you” like if I asked for it ![]()
Anyways enough with flashback, back to topic.
When I started bagging, reactions from people were totally, I meant TOTALLY!!! Different from the past! I actually got respected and people were so polite my goodness. I was like woah…I need to get myself some more TAL lol! and I got amazing tips! lol, most of them being from men though and some of the guys (shoppers) even helped me carry almost all of the bags to the car, and I would be carrying like a breadloaf in a bag. It was totally awesome! I even got a $50.00 as a tip
Shiiiit!!! Plus, another dude asked me if I could do a voice over for his animation (it’s part of the city’s festival) and I was like omg, yes!!! lol
I didn’t get that much reactions from girls in my age range, most of them just stared me, got a smile here and there. But only few tipped, however the ladies around their 30-40s tipped me okay too. It was nice, cause last year, almost none tipped. And believe me, I do the smiles, hellos, how-are-you’s, vernissage talk, fundraise talk…and most would run out with the bagged items without tipping. While a few really nice women were generous, so that’s interesting.
Day 2 Flirty + Sexy
Is/b x 5 cops (3 sprays)
Tal (@12.5mcg) (1 spray)
p83 (@50mcg) (3 sprays)
Taa (@25mcg) (3 sprays)
Self effects: Just felt chirpy, and confident enough to be tough! lol!
This was really an awesome mix, for both the guys and the ladies! The older ladies were so nice and helpful when I was bagging. But the ones from my age range were a bit grumpy towards me, it was a bit discouraging, since I wasn’t bitchy at all, I smiled alot at them too, and most of them either look else where, or totally ignore it, I don’t understand it. Only 2 out of the 30 (from my age range) tipped me no joke. And the middle-aged women were chatty with me, I got alot of “you’re so beautiful honey!” and a few pat on the backs and head, it was pretty sweet ![]()
From the guys (hehhehe…) I had this 40 yr old dude ask me for my number, another one said that I looked like Aishwarya Rai
biggest compliment ever, eventhough I don’t even look close to her lol, I guess she’s the only indian actress everyone knows
This delivery guy asked me if I had a boyfriend, and when I replied “uhm, no…”, he started hitting his head, asking me how that’s possible. Warning, I did get my ass grabbed during the rush hour, but couldn’t find the culprit
Other than that, I had alot of beautiful comments and lotsa tips as well
Day 3 Social Butterfly mix
Instant openness x 2 (3 sprays)
p74 (@37.5mcg) (3 sprays)
mx135 (3 sprays)
Self effects: I felt pretty good about myself, definately felt pretty (and I when I usually look at myself at the mirror, I’m like ugh! so I thought this was cool!) but even though it helped my anxiety to talk to strangers about what the fundraising was for, I didn’t feel tough (and for events like this I should have added some tal to this combo)
I used the first 2 pheros so the neroli could dry down so I could cover it with the chocolatini scent from mx135. I don’t ever wear them wet together, cause the scents just clash so bad, I smell like 2 different people/personality!
Very very interesting combo, this time I had more attention from the ladies than the guys. Eventhough the ones from my age didn’t really tip me, they’d stare and get quiet when I was talking to another person. Interesting.
There was this ladies that combed my hair through her fingers, telling how beautiful I was and that she wasn’t a lesbian
The grannies were more generous than the grandpa’s this time, they were all chatty about their niece’s, grand children. I did keep getting the “Are you okay?”, I get alot of this comment with p74 but then I do admit, I did get tired after bagging for 6 hrs. There was this lady at the back of the line trying to keep eye contact with me, she was basically trying to look at me in the eyes while I moved around to see how my peers were doing at the other counters.
The guys were cool with this too, still got the compliments, and really random comments like “So do you have a christmas tree”, and I’m like yea…and he asked me if it was decorated already LOL! (my friend at the other counter was laughing at me, because I apparently looked surprised at his questions) And this guy is a total stranger, I got some weird questions like this, lol, totally random!
So to wrap it all up, pheros work in public yay! I collected an unbelievable amount of money in 3 days through tips no exageration
people in my class were asking, how that was possible! lol (it’s our secret!) So I’m a happy camper for my vernissage now!
