Beautiful Freak Cosmetics

I was going to post something else today but this seems more appropriate. I dont think theres anyone who doesn't know this, but I am a NYC native. Though I am not a sports fan (I walked away from the Yankees after the Charlie Kirk thing), I am loving the vibe in the city right now and although Im always proud of NYC, watching people so joyful today is a whole thing at a time when joy is thin on the ground.

As happens, Summer in the City soaps are actually in stock (they take *forever* to make) and they come in this delightful box, too. If you're wondering, the scent is night blooming jasmine, musk, coconut milk, bergamot, black pepper, cinnamon leaf, tonka bean, cypress, cedarwood, patchouli and citron. I know, it sounds like a lot, but think of it like a metaphor. Trust that it works.

If you're celebrating the Knicks today, or the Mermaid Parade tomorrow, or the World Cup games happening next door in NJ, NYC is happy to have you.

Gothmorning, muffins.
Ok so, few things. 1. Theres a bunch of new followers all of a sudden, so hi and welcome to them 2. A kitten update, 3. some reintroductions for all the new folks.

The photo btw is of Louise. She's fine. She'd passed out cold in her towel after a bath.
So kitten news- both kittens are fine. The name thing was a whole problem though. Her shelter name was Chicken Hawk which I wasn't keeping, and I thought originally to call her Kuchi Kopi, since she was Louise's night light. But I can't in good conscience call a cat "Kuchi" for her whole life. (say it to yourself, you'll see where it goes wrong.)

Im skipping to the end. Kind of in memory of little Tina, and kind of because I just am stuck on this, her name is Tina Two-na. (Say it to yourself and you get kind of a Tina Turner play and also "Tina tuna", but also I get to keep Tina and Louise and people get named after other people all the time so we're going with it.) If you want to see all the kitten and cat content, the account to see it all is . I don't usually flood this account with cat things(they do pop up occasionally, especially in June, more on that later.)

But I will post the occasional kitten photo here as well. Usually Im talking about soap and other related things. Just so we're clear. Also also, if you're here by way of , you might want to know that I moonlight as a political analyst. If you want to read political stuff, I have a patreon and facebook group for that (and a weekly livestream) but I scream hot takes into the void over on Threads at . (I do it sometimes on this threads account too but Im there more often. Please read the pinned post here before proceeding, you'll be happy you did.)

I am back at work today after two days of all kitten all the time. I have some stuff to make, starting with Bitter for Sweet perfumes. :) Um, if you're new and have questions (or not new and have questions) hit up comments and either Amber or myself will get back to you. (Eddie, your order is going out with the regular run on Saturday.)

Ok. so hi everyone.
