Or at least the frisson of coincidences. One being that you posted this on my birthday. Another being that Terry Christian actually knows a thing or 2 about perfume, because one of his brothers runs an online fragrance business.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame sounds like a fun place to visit! I note that it is in Cleveland - I have been to the city a number of times and failed to clock this, though I did once stay downtown at the same hotel as Simple Minds in 1984.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-1242946618151264092010-07-13T11:32:17.101+01:002010-07-13T11:32:17.101+01:00Hi Ines,
