oxymoron policy
in most hospitals smoking is taboo, hands must be scrupulously washed and if you have a fever or cough you can’t gain entrance. in order to prevent the spreading of germs, there are no cloth towels, paper towels are used. no peanut butter is served with toast in the cafeteria.
yet perfume is still allowed in hospitals.
this my friends, is today’s oxymoron.
considering the number of people who are allergic to manufactured scent, why on earth is it allowed in an environment meant to preserve health?
i am not officially allergic to perfume, but i am fully capable of giving three high powered sneezes when passed by an overzealously perfume sprayed person. even if i am not contagious at the time, i can’t imagine that my germs HELP anyone who has a weakened immunity.
why the overzealous make themselves that way still confounds me. since they generally are not bad people, and don’t fall into any particular demographic, i conclude that they must have dull nasal senses. they simply don’t know the strength of their scent.
interestingly, the DIOR scents, like POISON, seem to be the repeated offending smells. so is it a matter of dior being naturally overpowering, or that the people drawn to this scent also are tied to poor nasal recognition? there’s a thesis waiting to happen.

another oxymoron: cures that increase the problem.
foundation guaranteed to cover acne which clogs up the pores and causes more, hair products for people with greasy hair. with greasy hair you don’t need a plethora of styling lotions, glosses, and special gels. you need to leave their hair alone. yet our greedy manufacturers for the most part, are playing up on the insecurities and desire for a quick cure.
my own hair is very fine and thick. and have i mentioned that i have no body whatsoever? and i have spent a pretty penny on products that guarantee to give LIFT to my hair. well, let me tell you, my farrah flip, mary lou retton cut, body perm, rachel do, and current no fringe pre-shoulder bob have never gotten body out of these products. they do get that charming one centimetre up in the air, the rest flopping look, which i don’t recommend to a lot of people.
oh, now for the important stuff….

carys and sela have said ma ma. never while looking at me. all three say dadadadadadadada with alarming frequency.
