beauty calling
This post is going to be short. First, because I am somewhat unfocused after Space Odyssey 2001 yesterday on ARTE TV. Love the film, love the 60-ies crystal-clear vision of a bright future of man, wearing narrow black ties and suits in meeting rooms on moon….one day I have to get a book on the film. There must be more than what I am getting. Like HAL = IBM, like the colours….red inside the space ship, like in a gigantic synthetic uterus, but then: Why is the camera of HAL red, too?
Secondly, I should not think about HAL and Jupiter right now, but rather about my upcoming short phone interview, with a beauty and life style magazine about self starters in the business, something like from passion to profession (my words…). Feeling honoured, of course, I look forward to the chat on the phone. At least this interview is for real.
You would not believe it, but I get quite some requests to send entire perfume bottles to Mr/Ms xyz, working for magazine () doing a thing on lavender/chypre/…. and a sample is not sufficient to appreciate my fragrances and that the article will be a feature article and that I should answer one, or two questions, like …. usually the questions are, well: naive.
So, this time, it is for real.

Hello, Andy. 2001 Space Odyssey is so funny now. My favorite detail is typewriters. Warning to all futurists: future people may laugh. I read your wondering aloud about the ribbon for Extreme. You might go with an elegant charcoal grey that recalls the actual color of smoke and makes the red rendition of smoke in the flyer be even more striking in contrast.

Dear Maria
that’s an idea I did not have. Yes, you are right: Grey might be perfect. I have an “elephant” grey, or Taupe grey. I think I will go for th elephant grey !
Thank you so much!
Dear Chayaruchama
I will, I will…I was told it is supposed to appear around the 18th of December. It looks like a great article on me and others, moving from passion to profession.

Hello, Andy
I am wirting this far from your location. Here is Tokyo. So, I am afraid I can’t say anything about ARTE TV.
I love to hearing,seeing, scenting perfume. It may sound funny to hear or see.
Because I think perfume is harmony of everything.
(I am sorry my comment is not good for this article.)

Dear Ran-kiku-ume
Your English is for sure 1000 times better than my Japanese! I send you fragrant greetings to Tokyo where I have been twice and I always felt very much at home
