voodoobaby Report post Posted July 21, 2005 Alrighty. In two weeks I'm going to go visit my sister in California. The main event we have planned? DEVO at the House of Blues in Anaheim. Woohoo! So yeah, we're both majorly excited about it since they're a longtime favorite of ours. I am so excited that I'm already trying to figure out what BPAL to bring along for the show. This might sound like a silly inquiry, but I'm serious. Does anybody have any recommendations for a night of silly new wave in a tiny, sweaty venue? Share this post Link to post
Scarlettfish Report post Posted July 21, 2005 I haven't tried it, and it just got discontinued, but Glitter sounds like it would be fun Share this post Link to post
shelldoo Report post Posted July 21, 2005 what scents are you normall drawn to? fruits? spices? ect i would think a chaos blend would be funky and fun. neo tokyo maybe? whip now that i think of it whip would be my choice Share this post Link to post
voodoobaby Report post Posted July 21, 2005 My preferences are spicy, earthy, resiny, green, animalistic, fruity...basically anything but floral. Whip! That's a great idea. If I can get my hands on an imp of it before then I will definitely use it. And I have an imp of Neo-Tokyo on the way in a swap, so we'll see how that one works out. I also have half an imp of Glitter. That seems good, too. Ah, decisions! I'll probably just get a whole bunch of options and flip a coin or something. Share this post Link to post
termite_of_justice Report post Posted July 21, 2005 (edited) Definitely Loviatar or Wanda. Even De Sade would be a good choice. "When a problem comes along, you must whip it!" Edited because I'm stupid. Edited July 21, 2005 by termite_of_justice Share this post Link to post
merivelle Report post Posted July 21, 2005 While Anaheim is far from Hollywood, you ARE coming to the greater L.A. area for a show, so why not try Hollywood Babylon? Share this post Link to post
voodoobaby Report post Posted July 27, 2005 I got Neo-Tokyo and tried it out for the first time tonight, and I must say, THIS is it! It's quirky and fruity, kind of like Devo's music. Thanks for the suggestions! Can you believe that I started planning my perfume choice before what outfit I'm going to wear? Now all I have to do is figure that out and wait another ten days. *sighs impatiently* Share this post Link to post
shelldoo Report post Posted July 30, 2005 yeah neo tokyo came right to mind, the funky thing jumped at me. glad u liked it Share this post Link to post
Red_Hot_Mama Report post Posted July 30, 2005 Perversion would be good. I love the leather in that one! Share this post Link to post

Celogrl Report post Posted July 30, 2005 I don't know why, but Ultraviolet immediately jumped into my head. It's tech-y, and kind of industrial and cool, and I think it would be perfect for Devo. Share this post Link to post

Spacekitty Report post Posted March 10, 2006 Yes, smoking's still allowed in bars here and everytime I go out, I wonder why I've bothered to shower - not to mention waste the precious. Don't get me wrong, I don't want my scent to gag everyone (although, that might get me a better view of the stage), but I do want to stand out above the haze. Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? If this has already been discussed, I apologize. Kindly point me in the right direction, if you would. Thanks! Share this post Link to post
judas_kiss Report post Posted March 10, 2006 Well, spacekitty, whatcha got? (Your collection link isn't working for me for some odd reason.) I would suggest something with a good amount of throw and great lasting power, but low on the florals as I've found they go icky when exposed to too too much smoke and haze (this could be my chemistry, though). Maybe something resinous like Anne Bonny. Dark sexuality like Sin could work too. Or, you could go musky/foody/resinous like Blood Kiss. Something a bit darker and stronger can work in a club setting, so feel free to try something that you wouldn't wear normally b/c it's too strong. Share this post Link to post
darklorelei Report post Posted March 10, 2006 I'd go for something bright and loud, to cut the smoke a bit, maybe citrus? Share this post Link to post
Mountaingrrl00 Report post Posted March 10, 2006 Along the lines of darklorelei's suggestion, I like to wear Aizen-Myoo to clubs when I want to stand out. I think a strong spice scent could also work to cut the smoke - maybe Bengal, or Three Witches if you have it? Share this post Link to post
Spacekitty Report post Posted March 10, 2006 Well, spacekitty, whatcha got? (Your collection link isn't working for me for some odd reason.) That link was my swaps list. I always forget to bump. Grr. Anyway, I've got quite a bit in my keeper box. I'm all over the map scent-wise. Don't have any incensy oils or too many heavy musks. Maybe something resinous like Anne Bonny. Dark sexuality like Sin could work too. Or, you could go musky/foody/resinous like Blood Kiss. Something a bit darker and stronger can work in a club setting, so feel free to try something that you wouldn't wear normally b/c it's too strong. I've got Sin. It's been a while since I've worn it, but that would totally work. I'll see what other musky/resiny scents I've got. Thanks for the help - I just needed a kick in the right direction.

Three Witches is a good idea, though! What do you guys think of something with Patchouli? Too cliche? Share this post Link to post
quikslvr Report post Posted March 10, 2006 I almost always go with Perversion if there's going to be smoke, personally. Works with the smoke rather than against it, in my opinion. Share this post Link to post
Spacekitty Report post Posted March 10, 2006 (edited) Heh. Stardust. I was actually wondering if Bon Vivant would work but it this isn't exactly a Champagne sort of club. Superhopper isn't even a Champagne of Beers sort of band! They're more like a Hamm's or JagBomb sort. Edited March 10, 2006 by Spacekitty Share this post Link to post
hangingfire Report post Posted March 10, 2006 Someone standing in front of me at the Sisters of Mercy show in Austin had some fabulous rose scent that I think she was wearing in her hair -- I almost asked her if it was BPAL, but never had the chance. Share this post Link to post
darklorelei Report post Posted March 10, 2006 Yeah, Aizen-Myoo would be perfect for what I was thinking. Share this post Link to post
valentina Report post Posted March 10, 2006 If you don't have any incensy scents, I guess that rules out Urd, but it's a "Purple Haze" kind of scent. How about Smut? Booze and musk, I associate that with rock show! Share this post Link to post
