Corsetería La Latina

La Corsetería La Latina, en la calle de Toledo 49 está especializada en tallas grandes e incluso supergrandes. Fue abierta en 1925 y entonces no existía la corsetería como tal, sino que se trataba de un variado almacén donde se vendía de todo. Más tarde, enfocaron el negocio hacia la venta de tallas grandes: fajas, sujetadores, trajes de baño, batas…Todo un acierto, pues a la tienda acude gente…

Chandlery

I hate hands   I love hands Hands.

I hate hands Hands pull: pull triggers, pull wool over eyes, pull teeth I hate hands Hands are people’s tools for violence Hands are people’s tools for violence Hands are tools.

I hate hands Hands slide, hands seek, hands grab and hands grasp with greed Hands slide, hands seek, hands grab and hands grasp with greed soothe. Hands soothe.

I hate hands Hands are channels of ill will, avenues of vice Hands are channels of ill will, avenues of vice Hands are channels.

I hate hands I love hands Hands can heal. Hands are beautiful. Ribbon rippley, solidly sturdy, Calloused, or Soft.

Warm hands, cooling hands. Compressing hands, Feathering hands, Enveloping hands.

Feathers, Birds, and Serendipity

Some things I know, some things I don’t know, and some things I just found out today. When I went for a walk today I headed south along the waterfront and quite soon saw something that captured my imagination. Someone had outlined an area of rough ground with a rectangle of feathers. It is beside a disused rail dock and there is very little foot traffic here. I wondered who had done this and…

scent: pineward oxylus and chandlery

today, it’s the last of the trees, the one which struck me as the most odd (and therefore the most intriguing!) on the testers, plus a bonus sample I couldn’t figure out at all when I put it on paper—after all those trees, it was much milder and mellower, and I guessed at “beeswax?” mostly from the name.

oxylus, on the left, has a note list of pine needles, juniper scales, vetiver, myrtle, soil, swamp water. chandlery, or so says someone on reddit who asked the perfumer, has notes of lavender, vetiver, benzoin, anise, champaca, tuberose, and yes, beeswax.

oxylus is another one that’s staining my forearm green, and on skin, as on my little paper scrap, it’s rather nice. the pineward shop site uses the word “riparian,” and sure, I can go with that; a sharp initial rush of sap, followed by a darker vetiver bloom.

chandlery is pretty enough. reminds me of the more undistinguished things I’ve sampled from house of matriarch; a fancier variation on the hippie oil perfumes you can buy in decorative bottles from tie-dye bong shops. fortunately for me, it’s going very easy on the tuberose and I don’t smell the lavender at all. (I like the smell of lavender on its own, but it can be so domineering in a perfume!) what I’m getting here seems to be mostly champaca, benzoin, and beeswax, in an inoffensive merger. it would go well with a leaf skirt from the fairies pyjamas, had I such a garment, which I don’t.
