Santa comes to NJ! (Couldn't wait)
I am a little red-faced now, as I guessed my Santa's identity wrong, and claimed to be able to wait to open my package until 3:00 (made it to 1:35 exactly), but very, very happy! My Santa was Erin, lilsnakeyk@aol.com, and she did an absolutely wonderf

Angel Perfume (or Eau de Devil??)
I have been looking for a new fragrance. I have gotten rid of many of mine as I am tired of them and have not found a recent signature scent. I like floral or fruity scents in the summer and have worn the Escada summer sprays almost every year. But
