Google Schmoogle… please gimme my pr lah…I’m so fed up asking for it sigh… well life goes on :P

Anyway, thats the green juice I want, not absinthe ok? Although Absinthe wouldn’t go amiss :)

Speaking of absinthe, here’s a funny story – to me that is.

I was at Kiehl’s with Beetrice on Earth Hour where we were quaffing orange and berry juice from test tubes mixed by wee little mad scientists.

At some point in the hour, Bee mentioned that she’d tried the Abyssine collection from Kiehl’s and that it was quite good. In my mind, I heard “Absinthe” and being a little bit high on orange juice, I went round the store looking for little green bottles of green liquid. I knew absinthe could kill a few thousand brain cells and send you to the happy emerald city of Oz but absinthe for the face? That was a new one for me.

Of course I did not find it. It was much later, after I’d looked again and again at the Abyssine collection that it struck me that what Bee meant was Abyssine not absinthe! Doh!

Speaking of Beetrice, as fate would have it, we appeared to have met before in an earlier life… when we were but wee drams LOL… ok not that wee but waaaay back anyway! What was that about the world being small and filled with dancing dolls again?

There are countries who still sells it. I was once saw it in Melbourne, in one of those really quiet streets.
