How I approached perfumes is that they were for me. When I’d perform in public I’d wear something for me to smell, like a halo of protection.

One more OCtober! Here's Fred and Siann for @quezycoatl
They're totally normal dudes! Definitely absolutely and 100% not mobsters who definitely didn't pick a fight for fun! They're very very sorry! Please let them go! They'll never do it again!

i sobbed both times watching eeaao in theaters and i am so so so happy that of all people, it was ke huy quan who received recognition for his hard work tonight but lol the jaded commies n film bros may be onto smthing when they say they arent impressed that this movie’s resolution to those struggling against “a lifetime of fractured moments, contradictions and confusion" is...... an uncomplicated and in earnest, “just be nice!” moralism.

I like how wearing perfume extends your personal space. When you encounter dangerous animals in nature, you’re often supposed to make yourself bigger. And perfume lets you spread out and become bigger.
