Last night I went to TOTEM – Cirque de Soleil. It was my
first time seeing a Cirque show and I honestly had no idea what to expect. I
was a little nervous that it might be too artsy or “weird” for me but it was so
good. Annie and I were completely baffled for most of the night as to how they
could do the moves they were doing. They were amazing and the show was great. However,
there was one major downfall to the evening. The woman who sat in front of us
had BATHED herself in perfume before heading to the show. I could smell her coming before she even got
to her seat. I am one of those people who is blessed with ridiculous allergies
to just about anything and am especially bothered by smells. I spent most of
the night blowing my nose and sniffling. What I don’t get is how do people not
realize that they have put on WAY too much perfume? Do they think it smells
good? Clearly, the guy she was with didn’t mind since they were making out
during parts of the show. I don’t get
how he could stand the smell. Is his nose broken? Does he think a normal
smelling woman wouldn’t love him? So I’m asking all my Dollops readers - Does
someone you love suffer from overperfumism? If so, I encourage you to have an
intervention. The snifflers of the world would really appreciate it. Thank you
kindly.
