I’ve plugged Pierrot Perfumery (formerly GoblinCrow) before, but I just want to say how unabashedly generous they are with orders - I ordered five small samples of their latest scents and they sent me two additional samples and an ENTIRE bottle of another. They doubled my order and everything smells beyond divine.

Queer-created, queer-approved. Genuinely unique, often bizarre, perfectly strange fragrance. I’m not at all compensated or even encouraged to advertise; I’m just very happy to do so.

Absinthe: Mary Poppins, Bad Science, & Teetotalers

‘A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. The medicine go down. The medicine go down…’ Originally, this ditty sung by MaryPoppins meant to teach her charges how changing their perspective could make any task fun — and as a kid, I lapped Ms. Poppins’ lesson right up. Not long after, my folks skewed the song’s meaning to a more literal interpretation, i.e., taking actual medicine. (Without…

"La Muse verte"

by Albert Maignan

Oil Painting, 1895.

Musée de Picardie.

Little note, read if you want!

Long time no see, everybody! I'm back from the ditches, here to present another wonderful piece of art.

Fun fact: like most alcohol and hard drugs during the earlier periods, absinthe was said to be used as medicine for children. How lovely!

Why do I bring this up? Because this painting depicts a poet being visited by a little green fairy. Still not making sense? In historical literature, absinthe is referred to as "la fée verte" (the green fairy).

You might know absinthe as having hallucinogenic properties, but this is false unless you abuse the drink itself. The 19th and 20th centuries describe this as a disorder called Absinthism.

^^ I specifically bring this up because, besides namesake, paintings usually depict a green spirit (that of a woman) sitting or disrupting other people, which could be attributed to the hallucination side-effect of drinking so much.

There is so much history surrounding absinthe that I might as well make an entire post about it. And whenever that does happen, I'll be sure to include all the beautiful artwork associated with the spirit.

Arthur is like if François' most searing absinthe were his oldest enemy. Do you think he cracks a smile while watching sugar drip into his glass, thinks about his fée verte

La fin de la "fée verte" (suppression de l'absinthe en Suisse)

Poster denouncing the absinthe ban in Switzeland by Albert Gantner, published in the magazine Guguss in 1910. Neuchâtel and Genève were the only cantons who voted against the prohibition of the "green fairy". Guguss had campaigned against the prohibition.
