No, really. And it's only $75.

Gywneth Paltrow Is Selling A Candle That Smells Like Her Vagina

I'm wondering about the production process - how do those candles attain that scent? And if we are talking about a handicraft cottage industry approach with the personal owner inserting (I use the term in all innocence) herself into the process (as would befit a brand such as goop), then I fear that production numbers need to be carefully curbed - for quality as well as health reasons.

Just my two scents, really.

Flash thought: Wouldn't lighting such a candle bring up some intensive memories, lieber Dave?

Flash thought #2: With goop's more recent product liability issues well documented, I do hope that those candles come with a health warning that their employment for perineum tanning constitutes a severe and dangerous misuse and cannot be recommended. People do all kinds of things!

It would probably bring Blind Boy Fuller to mind.

Blind Boy Fuller also wrote and sang I Want Some of Your Pie and Sweet Honey Hole. He was a gourmand!

Not sure what you mean. No one's exchanging smileys, it's just a reaction to the tweet.

Can you imagine being hired to do the QC on those?

uwe · January 13, 2020, 06:01:19 PM

Ah, now I get it! My office computer blocks twitter and other social media so I indeed only saw your smileys.
