The ≠ Company = Nothing But Trouble

Posted on April 26, 2008 by cologniac

Call me Snake.  As in “water snake”.  Yeah.  That’s me.  “Snake” Waters.  I’m not a killer.  I’m not poisonous.  I’m just bitey, stinky, and common.  But I’ve got something you ain’t got, buddy.  I’ve got musk.  My own, friggin’ musk.  … Continue reading →

Oh, we just can’t stop picking on Hillary…. or Axe.  If you want to see the original (no pun intended), it’s here.  It includes a second version with a McCain button.  Not my work – please, no IRS audits.  I … Continue reading →

Posted on April 20, 2008 by cologniac

Is it actually possible to be a redneck and a perfumisto at the same time?  Sometimes, I have my doubts.  I get this horrible, haunting feeling that I’ve sold out one side or the other.  It’s like the Ghost of … Continue reading →

Posted on April 18, 2008 by cologniac

Let me begin with an unusual disclaimer.  I actually like this scent.  I’m not crazy about it, but I do admit that I like it a little bit.  Nevertheless, I am bound by what little journalistic ethics I still have, … Continue reading →

Posted on April 13, 2008 by cologniac

Yes, my friends.  A day of horrendous shame.  A day of darkness.  A day of infamy.  The day that fashion journalism sank to the greatest of depths.  Deeper than an empty Dixie Cup.  Deeper than the bathwater of a kid … Continue reading →

Posted on April 12, 2008 by cologniac
