  2. Yes, it's wonderful. I also like that it's full of mini haiku-like poems such as:

    orgasm
    $99
    light-reflecting liquids
    pearlescent
    golden

    and

    stranglehold
    french clay
    skin-brightening
    wrinkle-dispatching

    Was the word "stranglehold" really in the advertising material?

  3. Yes, ma'am. Every word found in one 'beauty' flyer...

    I love the sub-poems you've found!
