Rose Tinted Vaseline

When I was a kid there was this Rosebud Lip and Hand Salve that seemed really really classy. It was in a vintage looking tin. While that rosebud salve is absolutely divine, some of its mystique has faded into the oblivion of my childhood. However, Vaseline has now put out a rose flavored vaseline in a mini vaseline box. It smells deeply erotic. And you have to plunge your finger into this rose flavor goop to apply directly onto your face. Sensuality! The rose fragrance is really well synthesized. It whisks you away to working class glamor like the 20s or something…. If you get it you get it- if you don’t you don’t!!!!!!Some French guy once told me rose scented stuff smells like bathroom cleaner. He couldn’t be more wrong. Fragrance is classically one of the many French/ American divides. The fact is in America, we are overwhelmed with complicated fragrances for cleaning products, candles, and lip balms. Were inundated with Dr Pepper flavors , Coconut passion, Strawberry Attitudes… Vaseline is presupposing and imagining a land far far ago… where choices were specific, simple and deeply erotic.

Merle Norman’s Super Lube

I have extremely dry cuticles and this is the only stuff I’ve tried that works. It’s very old school. The packaging is also dope. My grandma used to it and so does my mom (warning: it does have a very old timey grandma-type fragrance). The smell gives me an instant sense memory of my mom putting it on her cuticles, elbows, and feet on a Sunday night while watching the classic British soap opera Eastenders. :)
