...Cryptic:I think a monocle works better as a fun fashion accessory. It's steampunk.Carbs or protein?Carbs - going downProtein - aftermathBut if both had equal effect on health, CARBIES out the waz, please!Gold jewelry or silver jewelry (current trend be damned)?

..."Mirror, mirror on the wall, who in this land is the fairest of all?"And the mirror answers:"Oh, please, can you just step aside? I can't even see who is all in here!:a768d6a954]That's a good one! :D

...Sleuth, the term "holy grail" indicates to me a feeling of satisfaction to the point you feel there's little use in searching further. As much as I love "Samsara" original formula, I can only apply the holy grail distinction to "Coromandel" at this point.

...From the very affordable to the very expensive, these are three of my faves that I would describe that way. Mind you, I don't own the third one, but hope to someday. ;-)"Grain de Soleil""Vanille Exquise""Lyric Woman"

...Bonnie applies her magic to one of Jackson's sweetest songs. Ahh, those were the days.https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=I6AgpzsnHo8

...PontNeuf and Sleuth,Thanks for reviving the topic. Both of those suggestions sound good.

...Cryptic:"Glasses, yes. Contacts, yes. Because we need them, right? I'm confused." What's so confusing about asking whether or not a person needs corrective lenses, Dulce? Not everyone does. Ahhh, okay. But it's not really a preference, right?

...Oddly enough, I would suggest "Fancy Nights" , which is one of the drier, less in-your-face patchouli's I've come across. Forget about Jessica Simpson, and just look at that understated, genderless green bottle.Oops, wait, there's sandalwood in the base. I bet it will be difficult to find something patchouli-centric without at least a little sandalwood in it.

...Glasses, yes. Contacts, yes. Because we need them, right? I'm confused.Desert Island choice of reading material, and never, ever getting off the island: only fiction or only non-fiction?

...Bonnie Raitt "Love Me Like a Man"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXVoOgwiYc8The entire Road Tested live performance is this good.

...Oops, sorry!Bath.Cut flowers or potted plant?

...Cryptic:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BrDlrytgm8So, new city every other day? Hmmm, that surprises me about you.Reading a real book. (Does everyone not know that staring at screens all the time isn't very healthy for our eyeballs? and I already stare at one at work all day.)Cut flowers or potted plant?

...characters and dialogue, please.one month vacation in Europe (or anywhere you don't already live) with only 2 different stops on the itineraryorone month vacation being in a new city every other day

...Singer.Ella Fitzgerald or Billie Holiday?

...Wow, some of these are toughies.Pop star. Provided I had a great singing voice. Not a Britney, no no no.memory foam or traditional mattress?

...We finally got some much needed rain over the last month or so. Right where I live, 2015 has brought some near record cold temps (30's and 40's farenheit) but somehow I've managed to avoid frost bite. (That's a joke.) It's been even colder in the neighboring desert, with lows in the 20's. Burrrr.

...Oh, I love Ella and Louis together. Louis is my desert island pick, not sure if I've ever mentioned that. ;-) But the two of them together is a close second.Here is my alltime favorite of their collaboration. It's like a cake or a sandwich with all the best ingredients in perfect proportion. Delicious!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpww0IoSQ0M

...Theatre. (Even though I rarely go, the screens are so much bigger, and at home I usually fall asleep halfway through. Oldness. Whadya gonna do?)Bill or Hillary?
