O.K., I have no idea what I am doing yet, not even sure how I will find my own blog again, but gotta give this a whirl...I have been consistently obsessed with all things beauty and fashion related for the last 30 years or so. Happily I have dear friends who can attest to it and fabulous new friends and clients over the years who have all been on the receiving end of my blast emails about my latest discovery that must be purchased pronto. If you will read, I will write...
My first wrinkle creme was Dorothy Grey Night Creme. It came in a lavender jar and I purchased it at age 12. I think even then, it was marketed towards mature skin, but in the spirit of sooner than later, I slathered.
I googled Dorothy Grey and would you believe there are still some 5000 products out there??? I imagine they all have an inch or two of dust on them...scary.
I soon graduated onto pilfering my sister's Clinique 3 Step System nightly (which she will learn about first right here)....ooohhh that fabulous cucumber colored sliding soap dish....As I contemplated taking this on, I mentally went way back and remembered many of my early obsessions...
Yardley Lipsticks, in those adorable orange and pink striped tubes with black scrolls ( I actually found one on ebay)!, Love's Baby Soft and Fresh Lemon Perfumes, Misty Mocha and Misty Lilac Revlon nail polish, Karen Graham of Estee Lauder ad fame, Psssst dry shampoo, Sun In Highlighting spray, Calgon take me away....
So, if any of this rings a bell, I am the girl who thankfully gave up suntanning with Reynolds wrapped double album covers long before I hit my 20's and has learned a thing or two along the way. I will share all that I try and scour reading, with you, my readers.
My business is fashion, so if you think I will resist writing about Stars on the Red Carpet, I couldn't possibly, not. I am nearly in hives waiting in anticipation of Stars who blow it, despite having the best designer offerings and stylists at their disposal...think Tilda Swinton accepting this year's Academy Award in a Hefty trash bag....
So, I hope you will check in and if you like my blog, share it, put me in your favorites (I would, if I knew how)...
Dish with the Diva anytime....what were some of your earliest, fondest beauty memories and products???

Divadarling! So it was you working her way through my Clinique! I love your Blog! Actually can't believe you figured out how to post this wonderful read. Will you be telling the girls all of our secrets....
ReplyDeleteLove you!
Yes Sis, it was me! Also me who figured out how to bypass your pad locked bedroom closet by unscrewing the mount every morning...Loved those Huckapoos!

Like I didn't know it was you in my Huckapoo? Every blouse was wearing Shalimar. Is it not crazy that I padlocked my closet to keep you at bay?

All right...you have a point.
ReplyDeleteForgot about my Shalimar days!
Can still smell it if I close my eyes...

ReplyDeleteHuckapoos and Landlubbers, our first uniform.
Lady D!
ReplyDeleteRight you are!!! Landlubbers!!!Hip hugger bell bottoms with side slash pockets. They are having a moment again! Where did you get yours, Infinity or Camp and Campus?
Oh, the sweet memories of our youth...

Mother,
ReplyDeleteI have changed "was" a natural beauty to "is". Did not mean to imply your premature departure or that the years have diminished your natural lovliness! Your ability to dress, maquillage and coif before my coffee has finished brewing has always filled me with awe and envy...
Your loving daughter,

Le De by Givenchy was my first HAD TO HAVE fragrance,,,then "Lauren" followed by Calyx many years later.
ReplyDeleteClinique lipstain had me take a bus to Philadelphia and demand that my Aunt take me to Lord and Taylor so I could buy myself a tube (I was 14!)
Thanks for this blog Debbi, FUN!

Marcia!!!
ReplyDeleteOoooh!!! The Lauren in the burgundy bottle? Cloyingly sweet, but deliciously so! I loved it too, but forgot about it until now!
You are still in the beauty biz! I guess young loves stay with us.
