But that Midsummer Night(mare) sounds freaking HILARIOUS!! I would be cackling like a maniac right along with you. Hopefully in the back and wearing sunglasses and a hat so we wouldn't be judged. I can't believe you had the will power to leave such a production, who knows what you missed?!?! I am dying. I bet you and your mom still get a laugh out of that one. My only Shakespeare play experience was watching The Tempest with my stepdad while I elbowed him awake every few minutes since he was snoring. I feel like I am missing out on good theater. I need to come watch the National Ballet. <3 I will say Oberon in this iteration smells much better than electrical fog machine juice and malfunctions silk flowers. This one is pretty sexy.

It covered three productions over the season, usually two Canadian troupes and then an international troupe. And it wasn't always the case, but usually one of those two Canadian spots was occupied by the National Ballet of Canada, who are known for their more avant garde pieces. As in the Nutcracker I went to as a kid that had no costuming or sets, just the dancers in barre wear standing, indeed, at a barre, doing warm-up exercises to the Nutcracker Suite for an hour and a half. They're not always bad, but when the National Ballet screws up, it's stupendous.<br /><br />Anyhow, maybe six or seven years ago my mom and I went to a production of A Midsummer's Night Dream by the National Ballet, and it was...memorable. Mostly for the fact that after the lusty lovers fell into their forest-shrouded slumber, Oberon comes out, BUCK BARE ASSED NAKED in a pair of assless leather leggings ON A SEGWAY with a giant, droopy flower dangling from the front, which he'd maneuver, badly, because he did not have control of that Segway, over in front of the lovers' faces, where some sort of mist would shoot out of the stamens into their mouths. Was it fairy dust? Dunno. But I'm not joking about any of this, or even exaggerating. And that's just the stuff we saw! Because we left at the halfway mark, because we could NOT stop laughing. Like, c'mon, assless centaurs nearly crashing their hoverboards off the stage and droopy dick flowers? Bahahahahaha! It was outstanding.

And I loved the spirit deer collection to pieces but this one is probably my new favorite. Every scent is so unique yet lovely, wearable yet evocative. So many new fantastic scents in this one. And the fact that she has sample sizes now is the bee's knees. <br /><br />I hope you love the scents as much as I did. They really resonated with me. <3 TheRedolentMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025330454820306972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-54063770366770766162019-08-27T23:29:42.529-04:002019-08-27T23:29:42.529-04:00I totally wanted to order just about this whole co...I totally wanted to order just about this whole collection when I heard about it and also learned about the new sample size. <br />I did good until I read your reviews. Lol I read and went ahead and ordered all but 2. :D I ordered Friday and they're already in my hands as of Monday! <3Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456321651492337696noreply@blogger.com
