Random Wonderings

What, praytell, is so special about "luxury" deoderant that it someone would pay 8 pounds sterling for it? (I'm sure there IS a way to look up pounds sterline in blogger, but I'm far too lazy to do it).

Yes, folks in the U.S....that's...oh, sixteen or seventeen dollars for a tube of anti smelly. And a smaller one than you buy right now at your local superwhatever for three or four dollars.

Does said deoderant magically apply itself once one's armpits are dry post shower?

Does said deoderant magically re-up it's deoderant like qualities of scent masking and possible anti moisture qualities in times of stress or after long periods of time?

Does it fly from your handbag or gym bag or briefcase mid meeting or pre interview or pre date to freshen up said pits?

And while the new "Elizabeth" looks really lovely, I think it's far too...clean to be historically accurate. Where is the squalor, the filth, the dirty people, the gross London air? Why does everyone look so healthy? Why doesn't anyone have the pox? Why is everyone so skinny? I don't think Cate's head is big enough to portray Elizabeth anyway...she seems to have had a phenomenally wide forehead, but that may have been when women plucked their hairline to make heir foreheads appear wider as a beauty measure. Has it struck anyone as ironic that someone from a British penal colony is playing the role of (arguably) England's greatest Queen? Ok, arguably....at least give me one of the most influential, non religious women in history?

Right, that's another topic. That one requires thought.
