My next gig is next Friday the 3rd of November,
at Half Tone, Tachikawa.
When I was in Los Angeles,
my friend Young Hee took me to a fabulous
discount fragrance store, in downtown L.A.
I am a fragrance lover,
but in Japan,
I can't always get the fragrances I like,
as they are either priced out of my reach,
or have been discontinued- (either in manufacturing, or delivering here...)
Imagine my glee when I asked for 3 of my favorite hard-to-find fragrances,
and this place had ALL of them,
at a discount!
First, from my favorite perfume house, Guerlain.
Jicky,
in eau de toilette form.
It is available mainly in eau de parfum form,
in tiny, expensive bottles, here...
Next, a perfume not easily found, anywhere-
But I scored in this shop:
Je Reviens; Worth, Paris.
The third is one of my "Winter" favorites,
I used to buy this at the Osaka Airport,
on my return trip home from my Christmas Shows:
Basile, from the House of Profumi, Italy...
It's a lovely cross between two of my other Winter favorites,
Opium, ( Yves Saint Laurent ) and Coco by Coco Chanel.
Big thanks to my friend Young Hee
for turning me on to this place!
I updated my iPOD with some Hollow-weeny stuff:

It's almost Halloween!
Till next time...'Mela
