I do hope this post is not going to cause offence - but what the heck! 
Basenotes has truly become a home away from home for me, with a wonderful international cosmopolitan community of fabulous individuals who all share my number one love - fragrance!
I run the whole gamut of emotions (excitement, laughter, tears, sorrow, anger,etc) everyday as I share in the fragrant trials and tribulations of my fellow basenote members around the globe. I send out a sincere thank y ou to all of you who work and help to make this such a welcoming, caring sanctuary for all.
In spending so much time here I have found that I have developed 'attachments' to a few members who truly seem to 'get' me (my heartfelt values, hopes and my weird sense of humour) - I imagine that we would get on very well in the real world (if we were neighbours / work colleagues) and would probably end up 'Frag Buddies', going for frequent fun mini sniffas together and terrorising the local department store perfume counters...
So who are your Basenotes Frag Buddies? Those witty entertaining souls whose perfume opinions you value more than most and believe would be great partners in crime?
A few that come immediately to mind for me are: MysteryFemme and Heliamphora who are both pals from the old country (MUA) but also Quarry, sherrie11,Twolf, Taolady and djuna. Ladies - your friendship, humour, wisdom and support is so valued.
There are more who I am still getting to know but who, I hope / believe, will be fun, fragrant friends of the future.
Now, I have an embarrassing confession to make...
Along with some great virtual Frag Buddies, I have also developed some embarrassing virtual crushes.
These have been fanned by the brilliant Member's Photo threads here in this Off Topic forum. You people are beautiful!
I have quite a few crushes but my biggest by far has to be for Mr Basenotes Admin himself - Grant! He's such a sweetie! And so young! Not only does he provide us lost souls with a fragrant sanctuary where we can dwell in peace and safety with our own kind...but he is also cool enough to have Estee Lauder Youth Dew as his wardrobe icon (this was my beloved Grandfather's signature and I have never seen or heard another man admit / show that he likes this classic). And to do all this at such a young age... I know I am probably old enough to be viewed as his legal guardian but...*swoon*
Don't worry I shall not embarrass myself by even looking his way but it had to be said. I shall just adore from afar... I am pretty sure I am not the only one.
So come one - don't leave me to suffer this alone, we're all friends here. Aren't we? Aren't we??
