More of a style test than anything tbh.

Hi! I am interested to know how Elvis smelled (what perfumes he used, etc.)

hello and thank you very much for the ask <3!!

and tbh if I ever had the privilege of meeting Elvis I would have gone in for a hug and buried my face into his neck just so I could take the deepest inhale, the man looked like he smelled good 😩

anyways- to begin with the colognes/perfumes he used, I've heard a few different brands named such as Old Spice, Lenel, and Canoe, but the most frequently mentioned is definitely Brut, which I've seen people describe as warm, spicy, woodsy, with hints of herbs like lavender as well. Overall a really classic and “masculine” kind of barber shop smell

“He didn’t smell, though, because he loaded up on deodorant and cologne—Brut” - ( quote taken from “Elvis and the Memphis Mafia” by Alanna Nash )

According to Ginger Alden, Elvis used a cologne called Zizanie in the late 1970s, which has also been described as warm, spicy, woodsy, and earthy, with patchouli and sandalwood as its main notes

“He used a cologne called Zizanie and Neutrogena face soap; even today, those scents make me think of him” - ( quote taken from “Elvis and Ginger” by Ginger Alden )

And here pictured below is Elvis’ personal bottle of Brut ⬇️

( photo taken from “Elvis by the Presleys” )

As for other hygiene products, Neutrogena, like Ginger mentioned, has been named as his preferred brand of soap all across the board

“If he was in the shower, he had me talk to him from outside the curtain as the steam wafted the scent of his Neutrogena soap into the bathroom around me” - ( quote taken from “A Little thing called Life ” by Linda Thompson )

Nancy Rooks, Elvis' maid at Graceland, also stated that he used Aqua Velvet aftershave lotion, Colgate toothpaste, and confirmed that Brut was his favorite cologne ⬇️

( quote taken from “Inside Graceland” by Nancy Rooks )

Just from reading a few reviews I've seen many people, like Nancy, say that they really didn't like Brut, so I'm curious if any of you guys happen to have a bottle and could say whether you liked it or not 👀

I've been so tempted to buy a bottle of Brut, but I'm honestly scared that I'll get it and then hate the smell 😩 ... because I got the perfume “White shoulders” after reading that Elvis liked it on girls (mainly in the 50s), and I've been trying to force myself to like it, but it's not working so far lmaoo

it smells like flowers and face powder but not in the best way 😭

( quote taken from “Elvis: This one’s for you” by Arlene Cogan )

[hop-a-lot]

Just want to let you know (and maybe you know its me bc i always reblog your art or like it) that your bidwell and saxton changed my course of life *screaming fighting to take mic from stage hands* and its my fanfic au bedtime-story replay-in-head so much so that in my jogs from morning to hobbies at home I think of absolutely bidwell getting demolished emotionally or physically. His hole could be de atomized by saxton and re arranged his brain cells to be another au personality for god know whatever dice roll a man of flaws contains- but I will think of him almost without fail in your art style if fic or mental or trying to remember the og comics. I see them and im like ugh hell yeah.

If youve ever posted bidwell in a pose ive probably cinemagraphed already the trilogy for a bed time story. 🥲❤️The human lion of a man(hale) with ferocity of dominating the situation or endangered animal but inner integrity decency to not punch a little girl getting romantic with a man (biddy) detaining audience with the excitement of colgate toothpaste and sterilism of a white glove after a forensics crime scene taking up affection as his husband has my trope heart bang on pots and pans on the kitchen floor. Literally reborn with them. A delicacy Im never going to write so!! I mentally pass away lol!

I keep going back and forth on this ask after it dropped in my inbox bc this deserve a proper reply however here just me being delulu over these two lol, but this truly made my day.

Bidwell is like, an utter thrill-seeker although he might put a deadpan face but he knew he never get bored if he works with Saxton, lore-wise speaking he can just stand nearby a brawl between a muscle man and a yeti while holding his video camera filming his boss, since Bid can't bring himself to destroy all of Saxton's works after listening his (crime) confession when they supposed to return to the company hq during the robot assault. Then Bidwell came up an idea of an announcement film, for one he can *partially* solve the problem by sending it to Miss P and mercs, for two, at least he pampered Saxton and have yeti steak dinner with him (and if that's not gaylove then idk..)

WIP Wednesday - Record Store AU

Little Chapter 18 WIP snippet from my Like A Record I Keep Goin' Round fic. Featuring Ed and Stede being domestic and their usual silly selves.

“How is this my life?” Ed wonders moments later as he brushes his teeth side by side with Stede in the garish peach and pistachio colored bathroom. Stede catches his eye in the mirror and smiles at him, mouth full of toothpaste foam. It’s so fucking goofy that Ed has to spit his mouthful of toothpaste into the sink to keep from choking on his own laughter, which gets Stede going until they’re both a giggling toothpastey mess. “That’s something they never show you in those Colgate commercials,” Ed comments when they’re both able to breathe again. “What is?” “All foamy mouths. They’re always freshly rinsed. Not realistic at all man.” “You’re right! They never do! I doubt any of those actors are actually using the toothpaste at all in those commercials. They’re just putting an artful swirl on the brush!” “Blatant false advertising.” “Incorrigible, even. Where’s the public outcry?” “For more realistic toothpaste commercials? Reckon it’s just no one wants to see attractive people with mouths full of foam spitting into their sinks man. Ruins the illusion of perfection.” “I suppose no one wants to see someone like me brushing their teeth.” “What?! Are you kidding me? You’d be like exactly what they’re lookin’ for. Now, someone like me? Nah, hard pass.” “I beg your pardon, you’re far better looking than I am! Easily! No contest!” “Reckon you’re a little biased babe.” The endearment slips out before Ed’s brain has the chance to catch up with his mouth. Stede looks at him a bit dumbfounded, blushing. “Uh… forget I said that.” “No!” “No, right. Should have asked, too soon and all that.” “No, Edward I liked that! You just surprised me is all.” “Yeah?” “Yes. I don’t think anyone’s ever given me a pet name before. Well… a nice one anyway.” Ed has so many questions, but it really doesn’t feel like the time for any of them. “Well, uh, good! ‘Cuz, I’ve got a lot of them.”

Ok, so I am not a writer. The adhd wins every time, and I cannot finish anything I start. But. I have an idea that I can’t shake so I’m putting out into The World (of my 7 mutuals):

Steve’s favorite nanny growing up loved The Carpenters. Her name was Pam, and she took care of Steve 5 days a week after school and every summer vacation until he was in 6th grade. She was more of a mother to him than his real mother ever was, and she could do no wrong in his eyes. Every December, they would decorate Steve’s room together, putting up all the handmade paper chains and snowflakes and drawings of Santa that Mrs. Harrington said would not match the rest of the expensive decor of the rest of the house. They would bake cookies and crafts and tell stories, and they would do it all to the album “Christmas Portrait” by The Carpenters.

After Pam got married and moved away, Steve had a hard time around the holidays. He missed her, and he never got to experience that warm and cozy feeling of maternal love combined with childhood traditions again. His mom was busy and uninterested in making kiddie crafts, his dad was working and barely around. Sure, he got presents, and his mom would pick up some cookies from the grocery store, but it was never the same again.

And then, sometimes, he would be punched in the gut by nostalgia. It usually happened in public, at the worst possible time, too. He’d be at Melvald’s, just buying some damn toothpaste, and the warm, deep tones of Karen Carpenter’s voice would get in his ears, singing the lamest and sappiest lyrics imaginable, and he would start to tear up. It was a goddam Pavlovian response that he couldn’t control no matter how hard he tried. The Carpenters were NOT cool, and he was a 19 year old man, for fucks sake! He should not be crying in public to goddamn “Merry Christmas Darling” like a menopausal mom. But his feelings about Christmas were all tied up with his abandonment issues and his mommy issues and this fucking song just made him so painfully nostalgic for the one good thing in his childhood and he just…stood there, sniffling, half smiling at a tube of Colgate, dabbing his eyes on his coat sleeve.

Unbeknownst to Steve, Eddie Munson is there, half way down the same aisle holding a bottle of Pert Plus. He is absolutely smitten, just wants to squeeze Steve until he pops for being so adorable and sappy.

But then he goes and ruins the moment by laughing at Karen Carpenter singing “logs on the fire fill me with desire”, because he is a filthy gremlin with his mind in the gutter, and Steve is both embarrassed at being caught by his crush crying to cheesy Christmas music in Melvald’s, and mad at Eddie for laughing at said cheesy Christmas music. Admittedly, that line is totally ridiculous, but that is not the point and Eddie is not allowed to ruin it for him.

Cue the unloading of emotional baggage and healing and making out. And making cookies. The end.

Spider-Man 2 symbiote has the consistency and look of Colgate active carbon toothpaste

[ro-botany]

II know Alear is probably a very likable character with good themes and everything. Goodness knows I am enjoying the heck out of the gang's meta posts and fanfics about them and Engage in general. But I will never not laugh at their Colgate toothpaste ass hair it's the funniest fucking thing.

In fairness they aren't the only fire emblem main character who looks silly. Not even close. I will always point and laugh at Chrom's goofy blue one-sleeved onesie. Man looks like he's in a denim jumpsuit.

But main. That hair lol.

fish update:

shrimp tank is thriving after the move. i drained about half the water out into a bucket with a tight lid, and drove bucket and tank over to my new house. both the hanging and sponge filters were sitting in tank water. set the tank down, poured the bucket water back in, and plugged in filters + lights (no heater in this tank). i've seen multiple amanos and the ghost shrimp, and no pinkish corpses so i think we still have everyone! BEAUTIFUL copper and bronze ramshorns.

i moved colgate toothpaste's tank the same way. he's still very active, eats, pesters his snails, etc. manicured his plants to give him more wiggle room. his fins are growing back well from when he tore them a while ago. metallic brown ramshorns.

steve rogers is...well. he got fin rot, and i started treating him, but i feel guilty i didn't notice fast enough bc he lost a bit of his tail fins :( he swims around more now, he seems more responsive to his environment. however he's having some kind of buoyancy issue where he can't swim downward much. he doesn't *appear* bloated, but i'm hesitant to cut back on food bc he seems to have pepped up after eating more. gonna buy some daphnia and soak it in garlic guard and cross my fingers. i think i culled the ramshorns??? there are only bladder snails and a nerite in this tank.

clive barker is SOOOO lively!!! i swear i saw him trying to blow bubbles earlier. he's a tiny lil man but he loves flaring at his ramshorn snails for no reason. always poking his head around every corner of the tank, coloring looks great, definitely recovered from the fungal infection he had earlier in the year. ramshorns are brown + heavily dappled with white.

haven't been as attentive to my 10 gal fish lately. i maintain the tank, obvi, but i haven't kept up with the behavioral quirks of the platies and endlers like i do with the bettas. i have 2 platies and 4 endlers now; one day one of the yellow endlers disappeared and i never found the body. :/ tiny lil SOBs. the ramshorns in this one are bronze-brown, some with spots.

everyone is the 29 gal is healthy and happy!! the cories and b.n. pleco are chubby and frisky, ember tetras are good, danios are zippy and nippy, but their attention is divided between all 6 tetras, and there's a lovely understory of cryptocorynes and hygrophila for hiding spots. again i haven't kept up with the fertilizer schedule so i lost some tiger lotus + sword leaves, and i've given up on getting the lloydiella to look right. the impeller in the 90 dollar u.v. HOB filter is jacked up and i don't have the patience to fix it rn so i got a penguin filter on sale. when i have the energy after it's moved i need to do a deep clean of the plants cause the dwarf hygro is choking out everything else. shimmery brown with dark brown spots re: ramshorns? there aren't as many as you'd think; my theory is the rabbit snails have a monopoly on snail food supply, and there's also 6 bottom feeding fish to consider.

Little Timmy: ... Colgate toothpaste commercials, I cameoed on a Limp Bizkit music video, that wasnt really my best of times. But yeah no yeah, Calvin and I go a long way back. Believe his first film he was with me was a little comedy known as "Little man, Big plan." Ah, lotsa back and forth in the writers room, two directors quit. You know who wanted to be on that? Michael j Anderson. He didn't even need to duck to dodge that bullet, and I sure as hell took a bullet for him. But Calvin and I were very chemetic... Like you know we both knew each other beforehand or whatever but we stuck together like glue.

Interviewer: is that why you've been in five films with him five times?

Little Timmy: well it's really not like a got much on my plate really. I mean you've seen my act, Lieutenant Magnum is like one of the best characters of the series. You know second to Joey Explosion.

Calvin Lawson: it's it's more than just parody here. I mean when's the last time you've seen an action packed movie filled with explosions, and instead as for irony it's played straight? This generation needs a movie like die hard, and no one that's supposed to be played as a joke. Straight to the point hard ass action for men.

Interviewer: and I'm hearing in this new installment there's some new changes to it.

Calvin Lawson: if you've geard any of those rumors they are bullshit. We're not taking any twists, psychological horror, or any of that drama BS. The only thing different is it's run time.

Interviewer: well I hate to be a sourpuss but the whole script for "Joey Explosion 5: Deplore The Implode", out theaters on June 1st, but there's a magnificent scene where Joey Explosion actually takes off his sunglasses is that true?

Calvin Lawson: ... No that's not supposed to happen, I mean we haven't shot any scenes so far but.... No because of my hyper sensitivity to light...

Little Timmy: I like I said it's a, you know writer's room is always throwing ideas everywhere, would be surprised of this was AI generated. No no the script the script is always the draft when we shoot things on site it's always you know we changing the script the line. I mean hell "I'm going to shit down your rug", that long run in catchphrase of Joey explosion was done on the spot, we roll with all those sort of punches.

Interviewer: well, if there's any more questions I could-

Calvin and Little Timmy, and unison: this interview is over.

Little Timmy: listen buddy I'm sorry about the fucking script man, I must've missed that part out when I was skimming through this whole thing. 400 pages for this movie dude, I swear it's triple space.

Calvin Lawson: does it even matter anymore? "My eyes are hypersensitive to the sun." Like you realize how gay that sounds?

Little timmy: it's going to break the most ultimate rule in the the ToJ code book if your identity got out, you want to go back doin your quotas 10 times a week during film season?

Calvin Lawson: oh yeah sure, and the only damn reason why you wanted the sidekick gig is to avoid those damn quotas.

Little Timmy: yeah you know what any little person isn't unique about? Facial shapeshiftin, that is. Ain't no way I'm going to be wearing a fancy gowl when it could be out there on the set. Now listen I'll talk to the director about this maybe they'll cut the scene out, but unless we think about something I think we're going to be on thin ice that's about to crack.

Calvin Lawson: hey not bad line.

Little Timmy: Calvin for real, if we don't got ourselves a real alibi, the sure as hell will be the last Joey Explosion movie.

Unsung Science Podcast: Giving Voice To Untold Scientific Breakthroughs

Podcasting is particularly adept at science shows. Dope Labs, Science Vs, The Disappearing Spoon, and Unexplained are just a few of the noteworthy podcasts. Perhaps it is the lack of the visual component that challenges these shows to explain the science so efficiently using only words and sounds. It's not like you can wow your audience with an image from the Webb Telescope, and then sit back while your audience "oohs and ahhs."

Since science is such a broad and discursive topic, successful science podcasts have a "hook" that is designed to attract listeners. 

Unsung Science, produced by Simon & Schuster and CBS News, uses as its hook "The untold stories of mind-blowing achievements in science and tech."

What makes this science podcast so ear worthy is its excellent premise, skilled narrative storytelling, and superb host, taking you behind the scenes into the worlds of the people who’ve built the best in transportation, entertainment, food and other areas. What’s unique about these stories is that they veer from the well-traveled path of scientific discovery storytelling.

No Lindbergh, Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison here. Instead, listeners hear the untold stories of mind-blowing achievements that don't show up in your daily news feed. 

Some of my favorite episodes include the May 19th episode about David Peterson, the one man who makes a full-time living from creating, maintaining and safeguarding invented languages such as Star Trek's Klingon, and Dothraki and High Valyrian from HBO's Game Of Thrones. 

Want to ensure that your first date from a dating app goes sideways? Speak Klingon to your date as you explain your hobbies. 

Another favorite is also a recent one about how scientists at Colgate spent five years and millions of the company's dollars to design a recyclable tube of toothpaste. Then, Colgate made its patent available to other toothpaste makers. Wonders will never cease.

Unsung Science began in September 2021 and is in its second season. My favorite show of season one has to be the Baby Carrots episode. We learn that baby carrots are not really "babies" but the invention of a California carrot farmer and his family. The years-long saga of perfecting baby carrots by this farmer is an uplifting tale of perseverance, ingenuity, and imagination. After listening, you'll never look at carrots the same way.

The secret weapon of Unsung Science is the creator / host David Pogue. You've probably seen him on TV on CBS Sunday Morning, perhaps the best morning show on television. 

Pogue can handle narrative storytelling like Tom Brady could throw a football. He's master-class good at keeping listeners interested. Pogue also doesn't take himself or the subject matter too seriously. There's that sense of good-natured cynicism and raised-eyebrow humor that keeps the show from becoming too science-geeky. 

Pogue has superb narrative balance, explaining science, then waggishly pointing out the idiosyncratic tale surrounding the breakthrough.

Pogue's resume makes me realize that I am a serial underachiever.

 David Pogue was the New York Times weekly tech columnist from 2000 to 2013. He’s a six-time Emmy winner for his stories on CBS Sunday Morning, a New York Times bestselling author, a five-time TED speaker, host of 20 NOVA science specials on PBS, and creator/host of the CBS News/Simon & Schuster podcast Unsung Science.

He’s written or cowritten more than 120 books, including dozens in the Missing Manual tech series, which he created in 1999; six books in the For Dummies line (including Macs, Magic, Opera, and Classical Music); two novels (one for middle-schoolers); his three bestselling Pogue’s Basics books of tips and shortcuts (on Tech, Money, and Life); his how-to guides, iPhone Unlocked and Mac Unlocked; and his 2021 magnum opus, How to Prepare for Climate Change.

After graduating summa cum laude from Yale in 1985 with distinction in music, Pogue spent ten years conducting and arranging Broadway musicals in New York. He has won a Loeb Award for journalism, two Webby awards, and an honorary doctorate in music. 

Enough Pogue, now back to Unsung Science. The show offers listeners a learning experience, a science lesson that doesn't hurt your head, and a sense of things are always not what they seem, all while chuckling and smiling. 

This is one of my top recommendations for a podcast, science or otherwise. Check out Unsung Science and if you don't like it, feel free to contact me and tell me that I am full of it. Of course, I will only accept such feedback in Klingon or Dothraki.

listen man. i get ur chinese (probably, since you don't speak malay or tamil) and are thus distanced from american slang. and i get that you didnt independently come up with this nickname. but when you call that guy darkie you are calling him an american slur for black people. like i know you dont mean it in this context but like. its not good. sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

hi ok i'm back from researching toothpaste. yes, 我是华人，我能说华语（但是我不太好）。

and yep, i get the thing. oof.

so, it's stopping, and you may be wondering why i needed to research toothpaste before answering this question. the answer is my mind went first to this when seeing this question:

(yes that's an actual tube i have at home)

so, this toothpaste, Darlie, sells in east asia. and if you know your stuff, they used to be called Darkie. here's the wikipedia article. and... yeah, i should have noticed earlier if i knew this already, but i didn't because i'm dumb. anyways, when i saw this, i was like "Oh so what if we, like, call Darkstalker darlie now" so it's official i guess, darkstalker is now darlie as a joke.

until colgate sends me a cease and desist letter, of course

5 reasons why your brand doesn't need digital marketing

Did you just stop and wonder if you just read that right and rub your eyes?

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I just made the Holy Grail of online business gurus mad! Not sure why I had the nerve to say that?

Don't leave me,

     People think of your brand like they think of Colgate when they think of toothpaste.

You were given a lot of money when you were born, so you don't worry about money.

     You know a secret way to get to Aladdin's magic lamp, and the genie lets you make as many wishes as you want.

Google ranks your business as number one even though you don't have a lot of followers on social media.

     You're the son of Amitabh Bachchan, and your last name is good enough to get you anything a man could want.

 So, let's get right to the point. Most of us know that none of the above is true, and we all know that building a small business takes blood, sweat, and dedication. If you own an SMB or know someone who does, you will probably nod your head in agreement as we explain why the above statement is not true.

 Simply put, in this day and age, no brand or business can stay in the race for long without a strong online presence. And a good, all-in-one digital marketing concierge is without a doubt the only way to stand out among the many fish in the proverbial ocean.
