my roommate @bettyblanctorche and i are really into perfume and scent science so we decided to compile scents la squadra would wear 🌸🌲🍐🍫🍵

featuring our stupid commentary transcribed by yours truly

the roommate: you can just TELL this was written by gay people. like two gay people sat in a room and thought, what are we gonna do today?

bucci gang post here

risotto ✂️

rich and dark scents with a lil pop of somethin somethin. leather, tobacco, coffee, patchouli, frankincense, with notes to brighten it up like cranberry, plum, black orchid, peppercorn. dark chocolate would be a good middle note for him. he also just kinda smells like metal and ozone cause of his stand (like how it smells outside in a lightning storm!!!!)

prosciutto 🚬

BIG into cologne and perfume. earthy and complex, clean but a lil dark and sharp w/ some spice. ginger, bergamot or orange/tangerine, black tea, black currant, shiso, sandalwood. quality tobacco obviously. if he’s feelin floral he goes for the occasional note of smth like jasmine or lavender.

the roommate: that guy would wear chanel #5

me: HE WOULD WEAR CHANEL #5!!!!

the roommate: great while we’re at it he also wears versace dylan blue

pesci 🎣

the roommate: he probably just wears whatever prosciutto wears because he thinks that’s what he’s supposed to wear and he doesn’t really get it. they’re working on it.

me: [gives them a Look]

the roommate: I HAVE THIS LOCKED AND LOADED.

goes for fairly cool, green, fresh scents like green tea and cucumber with somethin a lil beachy like coconut or sea salt. he'd like to smell like rain. i had this one sample that smelled like sun-baked sand in a warm, lightly earthy way, and yea, pesci would wear that too.

the roommate: moss as a base note, it’s very green and foresty.

me: I WANNA SMELL LIKE MOSS WHAT THE FUCK

formaggio 🧀

axe spicy kinda guy. basil, thyme, pine, spruce, also sea salt, musk, amber, would like to mix it up a bit sometimes with somethin sweet n spicy like cinnamon.

me: WE CAN’T LEAVE IT AT THAT WE NEED MORE FOR THIS GUY!!!

the roommate: HE JUST WEARS AXE PROSCIUTTO HAD TO MAKE HIM WEAR NICE SCENTS SO HE WOULDN’T EMBARRASS HIM THIS IS ITALY YOU CAN’T BE DOING THAT!!!!!

me: it’s ok they at least get him to migrate from axe to old spice because at least old spice smells nice

illuso ✨

the OTHER big into cologne and perfume. florals like rose and lavender but especially white florals!!! orange blossom, jasmine, lily. has refined taste in scents but it’s a lil old school. aldehydes for a sharp airy smell with an 80s touch. occasionally a creamy, milky note (almond or shea) like a milk bath with roses.

me: whatever the scent equivalent of glitter is, that’s what he wears.

the roommate: cassia, also known as chinese cinnamon, and water hyacinth. that’s what makes things smell sparkly. i like dropping hints that i have synesthesia

melone 🍈

this is definitely fruity.

the roommate: this guy smells exactly like an early 2000s nightclub and i can tell u exactly how that happens: pear, vanilla, grapefruit, jasmine, honeysuckle.

mango, peach, yellow plum, violet, frangipani, lotus, white musk. light n fruity sweet scents. he just smells gay. and we love that for him.

the roommate: if u want something specific, he would wear viva la juicy.

me: what the fuck is viva la JUICY.

the roommate: that and gwen stefani L.

me: THE DEATH NOTE SCENT????

ghiaccio ❄️

minty and cozy but also a bit sweet, clean and fresh but then underneath he kinda smells like cookies. sweet mint more than spicy peppermint. clove, might go for cinnamon or nutmeg if it's paired with vanilla, DEFINITELY vanilla in general. something a bit powdery like iris. the scent equivalent of white chocolate, shea and almond probably. cherry blossom and magnolia. green or white tea, sage.

sorbet and gelato 🔪🍦

they like to keep things interesting so they go for the more unique stuff that’s harder to wear. they both like spicy stuff and share a lot cause they are both gay and have similar tastes, honey for something sweet b/c it's such a deep and rich sweet that it's almost spicy and magnolia for something floral. but they have some differences!!!

sorbet is a bit deeper spicy. black tea, licorices like shiso and star anise, he smells like that kinda really good quality root beer that’s like $4 a bottle. but he also likes things that are clean and fresh without being too high or watery, think basil and juniper!

gelato is more mid tone spicy with a sharp pop: pink peppercorn, cinnamon paired with black pepper to give it some oomph, spruce, sage, ginseng, lime because no one knows what the fuck to do with it. if FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT was a smell, it would be gelato.

#THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN #i love u biptch #and they were roommates #la squadra #risotto nero #prosciutto #pesci #formaggio #illuso #melone #ghiaccio #sorbet #gelato #vento aureo

@ayzrules tagged me in a WIP meme, thank you, Ally!! This is from a fic I’m writing for BBC Merlin that is slowly growing into a monstrous Series 4 rewrite. You asked me to find gown, precise, pink, skip, light, and tea in my writing, and here are the results:

Gown: The empty ache in her chest strikes her at the strangest moments--when she is in the kitchens and sees fresh strawberries or red currants, when she dons her name-day gown, when she takes her dinner with Arthur and sees his sister on his face and his sister’s absence at their table, which is still set for three. Gwen had never realized how much she craved Morgana’s closeness until she was gone

Precise: Gwen can still hear the precise intonation of those words even now--the richness of her voice, the closeness of her breath. She thinks of the maps on Arthur’s desk, marked with red ink where swathes of lifeblood had been spilt on their land, and of two women finding refuge in the land of the Valley, among the corpses of houses. She hadn’t known it would lead to this, when they were young and playing at kingdoms.

Skip: He meets her gaze in the smoky glow of the torches, and her heart skips a beat in her chest, because it is Morgana's eyes she sees in his face, her unyielding ambition, the fierce light of her anger. Her body goes hot and cold all at once, and she starts laughing from sheer panic, which is very close to the sound of joy. She claps her hand over his mouth before he can say anything, running her fingers over his lips in a daze, and pulls him up the stairs into her white-draped room. She doesn’t wait for the door to close behind them before kissing him deeply.

Light: Gwen can see it in her mind’s eye all too easily: Morgana sweeping into Annis’ black-hung halls, proud and beautiful as Brigit come back to earth, armed with nothing more than the light in her eyes and the words falling like harsh wine from her lips. Her lady whipping Annis’ rage into a storm, until she believed wholly in her bitter vengeance. The utter surety of her own fury, and her conviction in her own righteousness--the palpable heat of her anger, which must have burned like a forest fire in the dry days of summer, ignited by the blaze of lightning or a traveller’s torch, before the rainy days came.

I haven't used the word "pink" (though I suspect I will in the part I have yet to write); same for "tea", I'm afraid, but that’s because I'm trying to keep to a semblance of selective historical accuracy for a medieval piece.

#L's stuff #are y'all ready for the sheer CHAOS of this fic?#gwen/morgana AND ygraine/nimueh AND m/a???#in 2020 we open our eyes to a more complex characterization of gwen #i vacillate between thinking this is one of the better things i've written and thinking this is horribly ooc #and/or boring because it's 35k now and nothing has actually happened and gwen and morgana have JUST met #but also......rest assured #this is me writing it #there will be love triangles (for all that it might seem necessary)#and gwen is firmly firmly the lead

Ok I think it’s time for me to pull up my big girl panties and set this out for the world...we’ll just the first chapter cuz I’m getting antsy to post it

Under the Sun and Sea

Chap 1- Under the Seas waves

Screaming spilled out of the castle windows. Peter held his three dearest friends close as he cried out of happiness.”He said I can go!! I can go!!!” Peter shot up from his friends and spun around sending little bubbles out from disturbing the water around them.“Really! Like he really said yes?!” Gwen smiled and giggled as she watched Peter. Dark ruby red scales danced a crossed Peters waist fading down his tail to a dusty dark purple. Piercing blue shot out across the rose red bottom fins the tips kissed black. Red Sea glitter kissed his skin and his forehead had a ruby red tear drop gem at the center and pearls wrapped around his head, he had a small net tied around his waist. Peter always loved collecting shells always making sure he had netted bag with him to save away anything he found on his walks with this fathers. White scales formed around Gwens waist and faded out down to a dark purple almost black tail and her fins flared out to a blinding teal blue. A seaweed tub top covered her breast, a jewel stamped into her navel and sea glitter graced her arms and cheeks.”Oh Peter your going to love it we have this shemps...” Mary Jane slapped a hand over Gwens mouth and laughed awakardly. ”Gwendolyn honey please it’s a suprise remember.”

Mary Jane smiles and bites her lip looking to Peter. “ Tiger fish please we are all very happy but what did your father actually say?” She titles her head, her cherry red hair swayed perfectly in the currant. Fire red and orange scales fell down her hips along her tail and fired out into a beautiful flame with white tips. Two clams pressed against seaweed wrapped in netting and pearls tied around her neck and back.Peter took a deep breath and sighed his body movement making him swim back a bit”My Father said that now that I’m 18 I’m free to wonder the sea floor freely and go as I please... SolongasInevergracethetop” Peter mumbled fast. “So let’s go” he tried to swim off but Harry got a hold of his arm and pulled him back to the group before he could make his escape.

Harry’s green eyes flickered across both girls face before landing on Peters and he smiled. “What was the middle part Pete?” Harry’s black scales doted with electric sea green tail and a striking black and green fins swam them over to the door none the less. Peter blushed and puffed out his cheeks. “ I said I just can’t go to the surface is all” he sighed and looked down pushing open the doors as the girls swam after them. “I just wish he would let me be free like the other mer-people, I wanna feel the sun on my skin, the breeze through my hair, and my song on the seas winds.” Peter swam around and looked up to the surface and shook his head as he painted a smiled across his lips. Coming to a stop at the castle walls. “But about this surprise now?” He smiled and turned to MJ and titled his head his brown eyes shining with curiosity. MJ giggled and swam ahead” Oh nothing just a sunken ship...with human things.” She smirked and watched out the corner of her eye as Peter came racing to her and tackled her sending them tumbling through the water. “ A ship a sea ship oh Guys this is the best birthday adventure ever!!” Peter back flipped through the water as MJ giggled and grabbed Gwen’s hand, pulling her along. “Gwendolyn thought about it our cute little nerd saw some interesting treasures” MJ winked and leading the way.

Swimming after them Peter soon slowed as he looked back to Harry.” You don’t seem as excited about this as those two do.” Harry frowned looking down and let out a breath and then looked to Peter with worried eyes. “ You’re safer behind the castles walls Peter you know how I feel about this, I’m going along to make sure you stay safe.” He laced his fingers into Peters and pulled him closer his hand going this his waist. Harry’s other hand tip Peters chin up.” I care about you Your highness I never want to see you in danger.” He whispered softly to Peter. Peter blushed as he held eye contact with Harry, he opened his mouth to speak when Gwens sassy voice cut through them” Hey you two koi fish done making out we would like to go to the ship!” Peters face blazed red as he pushed away from Harry and raced after Gwen” WE WHERE NOT KISSING!!” He screamed as MJ stared at Harry and Harry just swam past her” lead the way” he spoke. Mary Jane seemed to snap out of her daze and race to the front of the group.” It’s a swim but we should be there soon!” Gwen swam up beside her blowing out bubbles getting the red head to giggle some.

“It’s just up ahead!” Mary Jane called you the others as the sea floor dipped down and they laying at the bottom was a ship cracked in two. It almost looked hunted the salt water taking claim over the wood, sand and muck covering some of the ship and Peters eyes shined” oh wow you guys” he whispered as if any loud sounds and the ship would just crumble into the sea floor. Gwen and swam over to a window and poked her head inside, she swam in the other trailing behind her. Harry bringing up the rear and frowning as he looked around” Not for nothing but this doesn’t seem safe....what id sharks come or a giant squid” he huffed and stayed close to the window they slipped through his eyes going over to Peter every now and than. Peter smiled seeing all the jewels and paintings the furniture that was broken along the floor, ghosting over the rubble something caught his eye and he reached down moving some wood out of the way and saw a music box laying on the very bottom level of the ship. Looking up at his friends to see them oohing at their own treasures he smiled and slipped between the floor bored and swam down to grab the music box.

He never notice the tentacle pulling back into the darkness as he descended the boat. Once his fingers reached the music box Peter grabbed it tilting his head to the side and moved it around his hands” what a beautiful box” he smiled and opened the sky blue box with gold lining and it played a beautiful melody Peter smiled as he hummed along with the tune but all to soon his happiness turned to fear as he let out a gut wrenching scream. Tentacles wrapped around his body and tail covering his mouth and pulling him into the darkness the music box dropped and forgotten. Harry laughed with the girls as they looked at a painting of fruit” humans are so weird I wonder when they have time to eat when they are stopping to draw it first.” The girls erupted in giggles again and he smiled turning his head to tell Peter his joke, but Peter was there....he wasn’t anywhere in site for that matter and Harry’s heart dropped as Peters scream sliced through the giggles and everything got quite. “Peter!” Harry yelled as he took off swimming as fast he could to the hole Peter slipped through Gwen and Mary Jane right behind him

Peter wiggled and groaned as he tried to break free of the giant octopus that had him. Peter was in a state of panic, he looked around and tried to cry out for help but with a suction cup in your mouth it was kind of hard. The only plus side to all of this was that the giant octopus was sleeping, or so Peter thought cuz he couldn’t see its eye open just moving around under its lid in a slumber. Relaxing a bit Peter let his body weight go, letting the octopus hold his weight, the sleep sea creatures tentacle that was holding Peter flopped to the floor knocking Peter lose some.Taking the little chance he had he pulled his arms free and pulled the suction cup out his mouth and gasped letting a a breath and flared to the sleeping giant. Right at that time Harry swam in seeing the monster and held out his arm to stop the girls” hey Harry what the....,” Gwen frowned but once she saw the octopus she covered her mouth and her eyes go big” Hey Guys” Peter said quietly and waved over to them a helpless smile on his face” some help would be nice” Harry swam over to Peter and frowned grabbing his arms trying to pull him free.

After 30 minutes of pulling, pushing, tugging and wiggling Peter was over it and sighed.” This is impossible I’m going to die here” he huffed throwing his hands up and blowing out bubbles. MJ sighed and looked to Harry as she stroked Peters hair” I’m so sorry Tiger Fish we will get you out if it the last thing we do” Harry held MJs gaze then looked away and swam over to the head of the octopus looking over the sleeping monster” Maybe if we just find the right tentacle and cut it off it would be fine” Gwen rolled her eyes and shook her head” so you want us to all die geez Harry think a little” she snapped and swam away from the group. Harry growled and yelled” I am you don’t think I want to get Peter out?!” As the last words left his lips the octopus woke up with a start and threw Peter across the room. Screaming he hit the far wall and sunk to the floor, Harry MJ and Gwen swimming as fast as they could to get away.

Peter didn’t know he passed out till he was being shaken by Gwen” Peter please we have to go!!” She cried as the ship was being torn apart by the giant octopus. Wood splinters flying everywhere, the ground shook with rage as the octopus began moving and thrashing about. Harry has gotten MJ out after a wooden bored almost crushed her. Peters eyes popped open and he looked around and shook his head, he couldn’t hear anything and his head was pounding. All he could hear was the melody of the music box and when he looked down it was by his finger tips. Grabbing hold of the beautiful song Peter shoved it in his net bag at his waist just as, Gwen looked behind her and screamed holding Peter close as a tentacle shot out to grab them, a hand grabbed on to Peters arm at an almost bruising grip and the both of them where pulled out and hugged into the chest of Steve Rogers”Are you kids alright” Gwen and Peter had their body’s tangled in a ball but once Gwen heard Steve’s voice she pushed away from Peter and bowed” Yo-Your grace” she stammered and bumped into Harry’s chest. Peter sighed and looked up to his father and nodded” yes...but I be now I’ll be locked away forever”

Looking between the four young mer-teens and sighing, Steve pulled Peter in for a hug”What your father doesn’t know won’t kill him.” He said with a soft smile and brushed some of the wood from Peters hair” Now let’s be back before he find out what you’ve been up to and you will really wish you where back in the boat” He laughed and lead this four back to the castles walls.

*******************

Music spilled out of the castle windows. The beautiful merman spun and dance around with his friends and laughed as he pulled Gwen and MJ close. The night was filled with laughter and song, everyone dancing and having a good time Peter gasped as he laughed holding his sides as Harry smiled fondly at him grabbing his hand and pulling him away from the other” Harry you really do have the funnest stories” he sighed out following the merman all the same. Out to the balcony” I just love hearing you laugh” Harry said softly and caressed his cheek. Peter blushed and looked away and then back to Harry” Harry... I thought” he bit his bottom lip looking back to the party” I thought we talk about this....we are friends and I just....can’t ” he softly swam back and held his arms over his chest looking down. Peter knee Harry liked him, he knew that Harry was the best of the best but he wanted to keep Peter locked up, keep him hidden away and Peter didn’t want that. He wanted to see all of the sea and maybe some of the sky! Peter wanted adventure and fun. Harry wanted to play safe keep Peter insight always. Harry shook his head getting closer to Peter” I care about you Pete you know I do. But all you do is run” Peter bit his lip and let out a shaky breath” I care about you as a friend Harry I’m sorry” he whispered just as Harry went to say something Gwen and MJ tumbled out giggling and bumped into them” you to Koi fish so cute but you guys are missing the party!!” Gwen giggled and pulled Peter back inside. MJ looked to Harry giving a small smile and Harry sighed and with a sad smile went back to the party.

The night ended with a bang, a big one Peter was covered in seaweed confetti and sea glitter and giggling as he swam back to his room with Gwen” so your staying the night right” he turned swimming backward” I can go home if you want” the mermaid smirked at the gasping prince and swam over to his bed and plopped down as Peter closed the door and locked it” so......let’s sneak out” he turned to her and then swam over to his window and bit his lip” and go to the surface” Gwen gasped and fell off the bed” Peter!!!! What is wrong with you!!!” She yelled and Peter frown swimming over to her and covered her mouth” Stop yelling” he hissed whisper yelling” you owe me remember Sara” Peter smirked as the left his lips. Gwens went wide and then she glared at him” fine asshole” she pushed him away and grabbed the chair that sat at his vanity mirror and jammed it under the handle and looked the the prince” so what’s your crazy plan because this is crazy” she whispered.

Slipping out the window and into the court yard the two Mer-teens swam around. The young prince giggled and spun around” The night sea water is amazing I always wished about swimming through the oceans current” Gwen kept looking over her shoulder and sighed” great good wish granted now can we go back please Peter the king will kill us” she grumbled following after the carefree prince. Humming softly he ignored her plea and swam ahead anyway.”Don’t be a spoil sport Gwen I would have brought Harry along if I wanted a mood killer” Peter huffed. Giant booms could be heard muffled through the water. Jumping back Peters head snapped up to the surface. A ship sailed over the two the light of the moon casting as shadow over the pair as the boat inched along. “It’s a boat” Peter gasped in awe and bit his lip.” No no no! Peter are you crazy!” Gwen yelled after him as she let out a groaned and looked around then sped after the mer-prince.

Peter broke the surface, cold night air filled his lungs and he coughed a little. Gwen came up a few second after him hissing” we are so dead I swear I’m never sleeping over again” she whisper yelled. Peter just shook his head and made a face that said as if you don’t live fore this. The ship passed by them and Peter sighed in awe. bright colors started to explode in the air and the pair jumped and sunk underwater holding each other” What is that” Peter asked as he broke the waters surface again. Gwen shook her head and looked around” We should go Peter please!” Gwen pulled around his arm and bit her lip.

The water turned from a calm sea to aggressive and angry waves. Peter and Gwen got swept up in a wave being carried closer to shore than she had hoped for. The ship rocked back and forth the men on broad yelling and trying to hold. A wave slammed into the ship sending some of the men flying and falling into the sea. Peter and Gwen watched in horror as the men tried with everything they had to reach the surface. Then a blond man jumped into the sea and started pulling the men but to the surface and helping them on board. Gwen pulled at Peter trying to get him to leave, but Peter was transfixed, he watched the man save six men. Once the last of the men where out of the water the blond man started to climb the side of the ship. Once again the ship was slammed into as rain poured from the sky, the shock from the wave went the man flying, crashing into the water. The impact was so hard it knocked him out. Peter gasped and rushed to save the sinking man. Wrapping his hands arms around his middle pulling up.” Oh no no no we have to help him!!” Gwen bit her lip looking around”Peter you can’t!....I mean he’s just.....for the love of....” Gwen ran a hand down her face and grabbed at the man and help Peter pull him to the surface” Now what oh wise one” Peter glared at her and looks to the blond man between him the ship now long gone.” To shore” Peter pulled and Gwen followed begrudgingly.

( this is the first chapter please tell me if anything is wrong! This is my first time writing a fic I’m so scared of messing up hehe, also I write and post everything from my phone right now. Um I’m working on the second chapter now and it’s going to be from Wades point of view. No beta we die like men 😭 so any grammer error please tell me and I’ll try and go in and fix everything)

We Asked 10 Sommeliers: What’s Your Go-To Supermarket Wine?

Buying wine from your local supermarket can certainly be convenient, but finding a good bottle among those of questionable quality — not to mention overwhelming quantity — can be challenging.

To find out how to make the best supermarket selections when a specialty shop is not an option, VinePair asked sommeliers across the country what grocery store bottles they’re grabbing when they’re in a pinch.

“It might be surprising, but my go-to supermarket wine is a box wine called ‘From the Tank’ by natural wine importer Jenny & Francois Selections. They make three wines, a white, a rosé, and a red. All three are really solid and well crafted and perfect for everyday drinking. The medium-bodied red comes from older Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan in the Rhône and has notes of pepper and brambly berries with lively acidity. I wish more wineries would put their wines in boxes as it’s a great way to keep wine fresh for a longer time, which is perfect when you only want a glass or two.” — Angela Gargano, Director of Wine & Spirits, Triple Creek Ranch, Darby, MT

“Matua Sauvignon Blanc with my frozen pepperoni pizza.” — Jay Pyle, Assistant General Manager/Beverage Director, Rosalie Italian Soul, Houston, TX

“For red, you can usually find a good Nebbiolo blend like Langhe Rosso. Or if it’s the time of year, Beaujolais Nouveau. For whites, I stick to high-acid and cheap. Riesling, Muscadet, and cheap bubbles are all my go-tos.” — Zac Adcox, Sommelier and Beverage Director, Indo, St. Louis, MO

“Tre Monti, Vigna Rocca. It’s a natural skin-contact wine. $12 at Trader Joe’s.” — Dan Skinner, General Manager, Chinese Tuxedo, New York, NY

“I always try [to] find lesser-known regions in grocery stores. My local store has started carrying some great wines from Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine and Beaujolais. They always come in under $20 and are the best bang for your buck, especially if you need party pleasers.” — Ashley Broshious, Restaurant Manager and Head Sommelier, Zero Restaurant + Bar, Charleston, SC

“My good experiences within the ‘supermarket genre’ have been few and far between. Living in NYC allows for excellent wine shops within five to 10 minutes’ walking distance. Often my supermarket purchases have happened during family visits for the holidays when they send out the ‘wine guy.’ Jordan Chardonnay or Cabernet is often my go-to, run-in-and-run-out option. These wines carry a well-known name and shy away from the high-alcohol, overly sweet wines one often finds in the California section of a grocery store.” — Scott Woltz, Beverage and Wine Director, Quality Branded, NYC/Denver/Miami Beach, FL

“Louis Jadot Beaujolais Village or Pinot Noir. It’s ubiquitous and consistent, and only $9 to $10 a bottle. Unless I’m in a specialty wine shop, I never spend more than this on a bottle of wine.” — Andrey Tolmachyov, Wine Director and Head Sommelier, Maude, Gwen Butcher Shop & Restaurant, Los Angeles, CA

“I believe a woman should always have a bottle of Champagne in her fridge. It’s quite handy for impromptu gatherings, guests, people to impress, etc. There is nothing that makes an occasion feel more special than excellent Champagne. When I am shopping in a market or wine store, I always check to see what bubbles are available. I have found on many occasions amazing deals and buys.” — Christina Kang, Beverage Director, The Breslin, New York, NY

“I usually find the wines of Chateau Ste. Michelle [are] always good values and extremely well made for the money. The reds and whites are all equally delicious!” — Barbara Werley, Master Sommelier, Wine Director, Pappas Bros. Steakhouse, Dallas, TX

“Rosé is my go-to grocery store wine because it is so simplistic and ephemeral for everyday drinking. My favorite grocery store rosé brand is Château des Annibals. It uses the grapes Cinsault and Grenache for its blend, and is a classic Provence style with bone-dry notes of raspberry and currant.” — Brooke Warden, Owner and Sommelier, Pink Cactus, Charleston, SC
