While layering together more than one cologne can have disastrous effects. Like causing a mass stampede towards the building’s exit doors by people trying to escape the fumes emanating from your skin; leaving behind only those with gas masks or anosmia. I’ll admit that there are a handful of scents I like to layer together. …
Working on a Sci-fi themed shoot in North Carolina. Not far from where they filmed The Hunger Games. I am being outfitted as a galactic Alien creature for it. Complete with green skin & an ultra green space suit. Which is made to fit my wiry frame like a glove without resorting to spandex. The …
