My Stuff

George Carlin, a stand-up comic, has a skit about "Stuff".  Things that people have in their houses, "stuff".  Things that people store, "stuff".   Things that  people take on vacation, "stuff".   As soon as they arrive at the hotel, they unpack their belongings, arrange them, reorganize the "stuff".  Invited to the friend's house, he takes a smaller version of his "stuff".  (How come that other people's belongings are "shit" and his treasures are "stuff"?)

Well, I feel this way about my perfumes.  Beautiful stuff.  A lot of effort went into establishing my collection of bottles filled with exquisite concoctions.  They have sentimental value.  They have monetary value.  They are stored carefully - cool and dark.  

When going on vacation, take a "smaller version of my stuff" - just 3 or 4 bottles, but which ones?  Decisions, decisions.  Fill a bigger bottle into a small Travalo - a smaller version of my stuff.  

Go to a job interview - represent myself favorably with a spritz from a carefully selected bottle from (my stuff).

Give a gift - show my affection with a carefully selected bottle from (my stuff).

Stuff, stuff, stuff ... you cannot take it with you.  Who to leave to ... the vast assortment of beautiful scents of my stuff?

Meanwhile ... spray on a touch of ...
