Madam Leota



Quotes from Madam Leota

Serpents and spiders, tail of a rat
call in the spirits wherever they're at.
Rap on a table, it's time to respond,
send us a message from somewhere beyond.
Goblins and ghoulies from last Halloween
awaken the spirits with your tambourine.
Creepies and crawlies, toads in a pond
let there be music from regions beyond.
Wizards and witches wherever you dwell
give us a hint by ringing a bell.



Little Leota by the exit:

Hurry back, hurry back. Be sure to bring your death certificate if
you decide to join us. Make final arrangements now. We've been
dying to have you.

Robin Thicke - Rollacoasta ft. Estelle

Eat Pray Love




Elizabeth Gilbert's memoir Eat, Pray, Love may be about how she found herself when she pared down to life's basics, but that hasn't prevented the film version starring Julia Roberts from spurring a merchfest. Jewelry line Dogeared is selling necklaces inspired by the book, and ME + RO made necklaces, bracelets and rings embossed with the title. Meanwhile, SONY tapped Fresh to create a trio of eponymous eaux de parfum, Como Hotels and Resorts is doing themed itineraries ("Eat" in Thailand, "Pray" in Bhutan and "Love" in Bali), and a slew of other synergistic products are reportedly in the works.

I'm more interested in the perfumes, naturally.

Eat is a "sweet, effervescent" scent inspired by Gilbert's travels through Italy. Notes include Italian lemon, basil, bergamot, plum, red currant, rose, caramel, meringue, and vanilla. Seems to be to have been inspired by ices, gelato and tiramisu!


Pray is a woodsy scent, inspired by the India section of the book & film. Notes are elemi, pink pepper, juniper berry, incense, peony, rose, patchouli, amber, and musk.



Love is inspired by our heroine's travels in Indonesia, with notes of bergamot, red currant, mango blossom, lisylang, Tiare, dewy jasmine, sandalwood, vetyver, and velvet amber.

These scents also come in a trio of candles. Excellent marketing strategy Fresh...
