Guest guest Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 There is a store that has asked me if they could carry my perfumes, but the name is a big turn off. I think it's somethink like Barfumeria. Of course, that's the English language bias showing ;-) I believe they carry a lot of niche perfumes. You may be able to google them. I don't know of any perfumers in Barcelona except for a student of mine, Lara - waving to Lara! All my best, Anya http://AnyasGarden.com http://NaturalPerfumers.com Anya's Garden on FB http://bit.ly/iamja Guild on FB http://bit.ly/1jP5lB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrrrffff " gag me with a spoon " !!! does it mean : " help me from talking " with a spoon ???????????? ?? my English/French dictionnary does not help me at all ..... **************************************************************** Hi This expression became part of the American lexicon, I believe, in the mid- 1980's owing to such iconic American films as " Clueless " and " Valley Girl " . It translates literally into inserting a spoon into the mouth to the back of the throat to induce vomiting. But, in casual day-to-day use, it refers to something that is extremely distasteful or repugnant. It is considered archaic in today's language (because the 1980's are soooooooo over), but is still occasionally used in a jesting or satirical fashion as we see here in the example above.

Zappa's song Valley Girl in which his daughter, Moonunit, is caught on tape talking like a Valley Girl, saying, " Like gross, you know, like gag me with a spoon.

When I saw the name of theshop that wanted to carry Anya's perfumes; Barfumeria, I couldn't help myself! By the way, the 80's are back!!!! Totally!

I also wanted to add that the soundtrack to the movie Valley Girl, which was re-released in the 90's with additional tracks, is incredible.  There are two volumes and I love them both.  Zappa's song is not on either, but the movie was inspired by that song. Sorry for going so OT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
