Can you believe they still make that? Someone gave me a gift set of that stuff for X-mas last year. Why? I haven't a clue. The scent reminds me of being in 6th grade, I can't believe it's been that long since I've smelled that stuff! And everytime I smell it, it takes me back to being 12. Weird how smells can do that.

Actually, It's Noe, and it just came out in 98 or 99, is what I read. Perhaps you are thinking of a different perfume. Oh, and mine smells good. Or are you talking about Anais Anais? Yeah, I remember my favorite teacher in Junior high wore Anais Anais. I still like it, though, but it does have memories of being 12....

Yeah, Anais Anais is what I was talking about. I used to LOVE that stuff! My favorite perfume of late is Pleasures by Estee Lauder. I never tire of it.

For me that is Loves Baby Soft. That was my 12yo scent.

I bought a new swimming suit yesterday. Afterwords I had to rush to the bathroom and puke after paying $120 for it. Not really, but I wanted to. I have never spent so much on so little fabric! I have a hard time buying suits so when I saw this one, and it fit, held me up and was actually cute, I had to buy it. It's light pink, and has silver sequins on it. The top is more like a bra. They actually came in bra sizes which is REALLY cool. It's easier to pick up a 34DD than a large thats really a small, or a large that is so big around it ends up around my ankles. LOL. I wish I could post a pic of it, it's really cool, but I don't have a digital camera

Yay!!!! I always want to buy cute, expensive swimsuits, regardless of whether I already have a cute expensive one. 34DD?! Cripes!
Also another factor when buying something is if you think it will be almost impossible to find something else cheaper that looks as good, which it sounds like what happened with you. Sounds very cute!

I had a cute little tankini and the elastic went on the bottom so I needed a new one and found a cute Ralph Lauren one 1/2 off last year at the end of the season. It still wasn't cheap. Wildinthe, congrats on your find, it sounds fabulous. I cannot relate to your chest-fitting problem though, mine is the bootay. So when I find something that fits and looks good I also wave the price consideration. And can I just say, sequins?... how fabulous!!!

I just hope they hold up through sand, salt, clorine, grass cutting and running after a 3 year old! Probably not the most practical, but you never know....it could last

Well, I don't normally wear a DD, but they ran small. It is very cute, and I have a hard time buying swim suits, so I caved in and bought it.
