On Girl Powder: A Cultural History Of Love's Baby Soft
@notpollyanna I had a set of 5 that I got around 1997. Baby Soft, Lemon, Lavender, Rain, and Vanilla. I also had a big aerosol spray of the vanilla one. I found them recently and sold them in a garage sale. A woman in her 40s bought them.

@theotherginger I always love it when you comment after me, because I'm a ginger, and you're theotherginger. I've probably mentioned this before.

This article helped redeem the song a little for me, although I can't explain why. Perhaps because it inspired jihad at a sexy church dance?
At my retail job, I hear at least 3 versions every day, so any cleverness it may have once had has long worn off for me. I see the ambiguity, but I can't shake that date-rapey feeling. A few weeks ago, I got to wondering if ANYONE ELSE felt that way, and a Google search showed me it was a well-tred topic. I can see why people like it, I guess, but I don't get why it's SO popular. I'll take "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" over it any day.
Also, Frank Loesser wrote the songs and lyrics from "Guys and Dolls", among other things.

@deepomega Yeah, this post lost me with that first sentence. Did Mr. Layne and I watch the same speech?

Well, I guess it's always interesting to read the thoughts of someone who sees things way differently than you due to their life experiences and era of birth.
