didn't it become fashionable in the late 90's for the emo kids and alt crowd to go with the funky BO? I'm talking about American youth...
Also this is the first time I've seen it written that BO can smell like a chili cook off.... specifically cumin? My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

Ok I am so not trying to be racist or anything, because I am not. I am just saying the truth. A few years back a mom and pop corner market opened down the block. Great location, as we did not have one in this area, problem was the 2 people who started this store, were from afghanistan, I know because my brother asked. Anyways, this couple didn't shower, let alone use deodorant! You could not walk by the open front door without being hit by the stench! It was a real shame because many times I just needed something real quick from their store, but it was just too much to bare..I always ended up with a headache 
they went out of business shortly thereafter, if only they had been more shower friendly, they would still be in business.. | |

Face mask required, and elbow length gloves.  Wow!! You win sweety!!!! heehee!!!! You really do important work though.

Except for folk with some physiological problem that causes them to inordinately sweat, if the body needs to perspire, it should perspire, I think. I don't like the idea of caking aluminums and other metal salts into my pores to be cute and perfect.

[Edited 10/1/07 6:45am] That stuff gives me a rash. I agree, though, stuff that blocks the body's natural functions is not really healthy. Usually I use Trader Joe's version of that stuff. But on a hot summer day...all that's out the window! Give me the cancer causing ingredients! My Legacy

Nature's Gate has a decent natural deodorant. And if you have a Lush handmade cosmetics store anywhere nearby, they sell pretty good natural deodorant in solid form. (You buy it in little blocks by weight.) But I can relate to bad reactions. I haven't had a problem with Tom's of Maine, but I used a brand by Jason once, and after two days it felt like I'd been using battery acid!   Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

i actually don't NEED deodorant, if you can believe that. as long as i shower daily, even on hot days when i perspire there's no odor. every great now and then i'll have a case of the armpit stank, but i think it has something to do with stress or something i ate because it's so rare and random. so i DO have deodorant on hand for when i catch myself getting a little ripe, but it's super rare that i have to actually use it. | |

retina said: xperience319 said: is it true certain cultures/religions have banned deodorant?
 I've never heard of deodorant being banned anywhere, but in Japan we were strongly advised against wearing it if it had a strong scent. The reason is that the Japanese are quite sensitive to strong tastes and strong scents in general. Their food does have flavour but it's almost never spicy, and their perfumes and deodorants are extremely weak (when I ran out of my own deo, I bought a Japanese one and I could barely smell it even if I put my nose in my armpit, lol). On the other hand, they're very insensitive to sound and noise. There's so much noise pollution everywhere that you can barely relax, and yet nobody seems to mind. It's quite interesting, really. that's weird | |

The biggest difference was that it didn't contain fluoride! No wonder they have bad teeth eh? does the pollution smell?
Of course it does. It's not like they can kill every smell, lol. | |

the way deodorants smell. I get excited when new scents comes out, but most of the time I just stick to baby powder scent. I'm currently using Dove's deodorant. It smells great, works great, and it's good for your skin as well.I can see you going crazy in the hygiene section at the grocery store Not so much unless there's a new product out.....but I do get giddy in places like Bath and Body Works.

Honestly I have so much crap that I don't use enough, I really gotta make a dent in that before I buy more. But that Sensual Amber is just DIVINE  I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!!

Berkeley IS a funk haven Hell yeah! Ironic is it's one of the best places to shop! All the shoe, clothing stores not to mention Rasputin and Amoeba! Haight and Ashbury has their own funk area too
Still, Telegraph smells like hell in a shit and semen basket "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |
