peppering

Honestly, I am not curious about Britney Spears in the least. She's a real looker, but that's where my interest in her begins and ends. You'll never catch me listening to her music, and it makes no difference to me that her wedding guests chowed on chicken wings at her wedding reception last week.

However, I *am* curious why I like her branded fragrance curiously named...Curious by Elizabeth Arden. It's vanilla-y which I'm normally not drawn to. It's sophisticated, much older than whatever her age must be. It's not too sweet and warms to unexpected depths. I'd peg it for women in their 40s but you can't stop fans from wanting to shellack it on just because Britney's already-most famous.

And if you're curious how I knew it existed, it's because my pal Belinda who works at a high-end fragrance counter brought a bottle for a friend at my DJ gig last week.

I am in no way personally responsible for experiencing this scent.
