In honor of John Lennon

Recommended Posts

In honor of John Lennon today, on the 25th anniversary of that sad, sad day when he left us, I started out with Strawberry Moon (sing it with me: "Strawberry Moon forever...."), then sniffed a little Neo-Tokyo for Yoko, and now as the strawberries fade, I'm layering them with a touch of Peace (give it a chance, that's all I'm saying).

 

What other blends can you think of, Lennon-esque, Yoko-ish, or just plain Beatle-y?

If I had Peace I would wear that too.

 

Strawberry Moon does make sense, for Strawberry Fields. I don't have that either! Pink Moon maybe, though that's more of a Nick Drake scent...

 

I never make it through this day without crying, ever. It always gets me on the drive home when I flip around and they're playing him on the radio. And the anniversary of George's death a week ago. I'm a wreck for this whole week.

High John the Conquerer! Well, he did conquer all of our hearts and minds and showed us something really beautiful and special, so I think it works.

 

If I had London, I might wear that too...

 

I wish there were Beatles BPALs. Like Helter Skelter which would assault you from all angles with a variety of notes and a hint of blood. Or a sweet, jaunty Lovely Rita. Or a golden, amber-y Here Comes the Sun. Or something silly, like Blue Meanies (which I think would have an apple note because of those wierd blue apples they used to kill people with in the movie)!

I'm so for this idea!

 

I wore my St John medallion this week. My Mum, bored at school in Grade 6, took a little gold backed medallion of the Madonna (given to her for her confirmation by random Italian Aunt) painstakingly removed the glass, took out the pic of the Holy Mother & replaced it with this itty bitty pic of John Lennon. Nonna found it a year ago when cleaning the house & gave it back to Mum who gave it to me, being a massive Beatles & Lennon fan that I am :P

 

Where she found such a small pic & how she did it I'll never know. But 40-45 years later it still looks new.

How cool!

 

I don't have a lot of the scents mentioned, but I'm thinking Tintagel might work because John represents another idyllistic time <G>. And it is a real December-y scent, too.

I love the idea of a Blue Meanies scent! :P Though maybe Bluebeard would qualify (from what I remember of the fairy tale, he was rather mean!).

 

I didn't pick out a scent with Lennon in mind - I wish I'd thought of that. If I had, I probably would have picked The Sun (as in, Here Comes...). Or Sol, for the same reasons. While Peace would have been a good one as well, lavender and I just don't play well together... I just can't give Peace a chance!
