Latin Guys and Cologne

My oldest daughter, S, did not want me to relate this story... so I offered to let her tell the tale.

Here it is.

A tale of Latin guys and cologne…


It has to be… oh, two or three years ago now (see mom? I’m getting old before my time. That’s what you get for letting me work in politics. ::wink:: ). Actually, you know what. It was when I was 16. So only two years ago. My mom, sisters and I were shopping in Longs. We come across a display with Antonio Banderas on it, with a scent for men (cologne) and women (perfume). Thinking it was kinda odd that a GUY would be making WOMEN’S perfume, I decided to decline smelling that one, and instead focused on the cologne. Which smelt really really good. In my fervor to find words to describe this amazing… smell, I blurt out (mind you, this is before debate took it’s full effect on me), “Wow, it smells like a Latin guy!” ::groans and/or laughter is applicable here::

Then, as I turn around, I see a little old lady looking at me like I was nuts (which, she had every right to, after that…). Great. To make my lack of language skills worse, of course someone would have to overhear it. So I added to my sister, and loud enough for the lady to hear, “Not that I’ve been smelling any Latin guys lately…”.

So yes, I’m extremely weird (and rather proud of it). And yes, I do now have a fetish with cologne (I’ll happily admit it!). Oh, yes, and that is why my list includes: rich, nice teeth, and smelling like a Latin guy. But that list (and what it’s for) is a story for another time. =D

Just for my daughter, I went trolling on the internet and found this picture of the cologne she is speaking about.
