Fuzzy blankets, angora critters, buttercream - fluffy, yes.<br /><br />But, sure, when I saw the word craggy, spiky started working for me.<br /><br />Hmmm again.

I will keep trying to refine it as I sample more things in that general vein.<br /><br />Lady Jicky, it would be funny indeed if the bunny owner knew what his pets had inspired!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-59374958765978326992010-02-06T19:15:10.253+00:002010-02-06T19:15:10.253+00:00I so agree about Bandit being a spiky!

LOL <br /><br /> Champs Elysee by Guerlain is a fluff but not in that same way many of those celeb scents are sugery sweet and yet many of the so called celebs IMO aren't anything like "sweet innocent things" they like people to believe ! <br />Bunch of tramps manylady jickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013352537776588166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-36286391870937129392010-02-06T15:22:42.680+00:002010-02-06T15:22:42.680+00:00What a great addition to the scent lexicon!!
