Well, I've tried the swap posts and the ISO's and watched the sale posts on the BPAL comms, and no luck -- I'm going to go ahead and order a bottle of Buggre Alle This Bible and likely a bottle of Aziraphale from the Lab after the holiday season. (Crowley is delightful, but I have a bottle that was gifted me awhile back. Thanks Allie!) Anyone in the Springfield area (or, heck, KC) want to go in also and split the shipping?
(I really don't expect us to get a $500 order and free shipping!)
I responded to this post
http://community.livejournal.com/evil_enablers/1379537.html
and asked for a feedback link, got this:
I have feedback on the BPAL page here: http://feedback.bpal.org/censura.php?cmd=details&itemid=13591
I haven't been on LJ long enough to set up a feedback page here. Let me know if you're still interested, and thanks for looking!
When I googled the paypal address, I got this:
http://community.livejournal.com/bpal_feedback/190647.html?view=3045047#t3045047
http://community.livejournal.com/bpalmarketplace/2177261.html
I went back and retracted my offer, and
ishtarswrath has suddenly deleted her LJ!
I was wondering whether I should feel bad for bringing history in, but if she's reformed she would not have deleted her account and her sale post. Now I'm expecting some drama-llama attack on the comms next time I post.

Wishlist WTF
Apr. 2nd, 2009 09:33 pmOK, this is another odd one. You may remember a few months ago when I ranted about the chick who wanted in on a Trick-or-Treat swap, but didn't do Halloween and didn't want anything with or vamp or yadayada related....
Well, now this OTHER gal has severe chemical sensitivities, do not send her any bath/body products, her kids also have very sensitive skin and allergies...so someone please send her BPAL.
Now BPAL is not your run-of-the-mill smellgood -- you're LESS likely to have a reaction to it, but WTF here? I have had reactions to various formulas and I'm not the most itchy person out there. I went to her profile to see what notes she likes/doesn't like, and
"Don't send me what I just asked for."
Y'know, I think I can do that.

Bpal, heeeere BPAL....
Sep. 28th, 2008 11:06 amDue to oversharing some of my favorites, I'm down to less than a half'-bottle of Penumbra -- and due to being out of work for so long, the paypal is extremely scrawny.
Will swap LE decants 2-for-1 for decants of Penumbra
GC imps 4-for-1
Also have a dozen of the imp-size rollerbottles and up to 4 dozen vials and a dozen pipettes I can offer.
Inventory is here.
And again...
Sep. 16th, 2008 06:55 pmBPAL. slices of fancy soap, etc. At least three perfume vials per package, that's the only promise.
Paypal to FifthHouse at gmail dot com
ETA: Good idea to comment to keep count, I suppose!
Gone! Wow, that was fast....
*headdesk*
Sep. 6th, 2008 04:23 pmI am SUCH an addict.....
I was going through someone's swap list happily setting out imps she is looking for, when I realized: she isn't *buying,* she's SWAPPING, and there's absolutely nothing on her list I'm interested in.
I'd seen this, and here I was going to swap for things I didn't want, just to get my fix!
And yes, I'm trying to pare down the list of what I have on hand and just stick with my tried and true score or so --
GC:
Buggre Alle This Bible
Crowley
The Witch Queen
Nanny Ashtoreth
Cairo
Baghdad
Morocco
Fallen
Anubis
Fenris Wolf
Miskatonic University
LE/DC:
Blood Phoenix
Mechanical Phoenix
Three Witches (Revisited)
Hexennacht 2005 (original)

The State of the Zia = Randomness
Sep. 2nd, 2008 04:52 pmBack from D*C -- guys, found my keys, right where i forgot I put them! Is fun roadtripping with other Ren/skiffy geeks.
Tireder than I should be, and been starving (and eating!) all day.
Got my provisional in the post today!!! w00t!
Picked up a buncha flyers for stuff that will be Yule/etc gifts.
Ask
alaskan_blue about the room -- and stand back!
Wondering if
dixiewitch got the package I sent or if the PO ate it.
Had some nice visit w/
jeffs_page :)
BPAL M&S was fun!
featherynscale was there, and
triadruid, and trailertrashprincess, and
danceswthcobras, and people I liked meeting and should have written down names and taken pictures.
Sold/swapped bottles and imps (of course).
And someone who promised to paypal me as soon as she got home did so, and I need to send her the card that goes with her Inez as soon as I find an envelope. And she's gorgeous. And her hubby smells wonderful (Blood Garden; of course it MUST be an LE *sigh*).
The power has gone out twice since noon, thanks hurricane whomever!

The Saga of Mead Moon and Zia
Aug. 5th, 2008 01:59 pmTop bid on Mead Moon is currently $28
Since I'm currently annoyed at eBay, I'll entertain offers here.
I do frimp -- let me know if you're allergic to anything (tea, chocolate, etc) and I'll take that into consideration.
Comments are screened. Please put your email in your comment so I can get in touch with you.
Also, Crawdad doesn't like me. The bottle has been cleanly tested with a toothpick, and half an imp-sized vial has been drawn off with a pipette. If you offer on this, please include your Forum name.
And....bottle of Sturgeon Moon, less 1.5 imp-size vials.
Review -- BPAL
Aug. 4th, 2008 12:56 pmGraveyard Dirt
Y'know that slightly green, musty-attic smell? Or crawlspace w/ weeds?
Yeah.
My nose is not too happy with me right now. MIGHT be good for a once-in-a-great-while thing. like for dark-moon ritual.
Hexennacht
samples of both original and 2008
I can definitely tell a difference, but don't know how to describe it. Must be the amber and the "flora."
Of course, I have to like the original better!

Smoky-sour labdanum, black patchouli, wet tobacco, and brimstone. | |||
Graveyard Dirt | 3/05 | Limited Editions | A tribute to a somehat nefarious and truly notorious ingredient in New Orleans spellcrafting. It is employed in hoodoo rootwork for various reasons, primarily in spells of protection, “tricking” your enemies, binding, and even love magick. The graves are chosen based on the type of working, and are determined by the type of spirit that lies there and the manner of their demise. Payment is always required in the form of offerings to the deceased. This is the scent of pure graveyard dust, spattered with grave loam and dusted lightly with tombstone moss. |

Hexennacht 2005 | 3/05 | Limited Editions | This perfume is the scent of the witches' revel: German fir and forest herbs, incense and bonfire smoke, and the wet, glimmering scent of skin warmed by dance. |

BPAL enablement post
Jul. 7th, 2008 02:15 pmSssh! It's a secret! I'm not posting this on the BPAL communities --you have to be reading MY journal (this one here) for this.
Yes, I'll be checking. If someone friends me today and comments here this evening, that's cheating, though I'll probably do a poll as to whether that should be disallowed.
If you want to try Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab perfume oils, or if you're already an addict, leave a comment below, and declare yourself enabled or wishing.
In two days (Wednesday evening) I'll draw two names at random -- one wishing, one already-enabled person -- and each will get three (or more) random imps/decants from my stash. Open to the international community, but not interplanetary. Shipping to Mars would be just....un-do-able.

Apr. 25th, 2008 08:45 amDreamed about today being a "good mail day" just before I woke up!
There was a thing called a "Lady's Atlanta Box" -- about 16" cubed, with a lift-off lid, covered in printed fabric -- really floral/feminine, like something my Gramma would have loved (I prefer less "fancy," but apparently that's how the box came), designed to look like a gift package, bow and all. The top lifted entirely off, and the stuff just kept coming out. 2 sets of grooming tools, from celluloid combs to toe spacers, empty travel bottles and jars galore, I was having fun!
Then I opened another package -- it was too small to have contained TWO quart-sized ziptop storage bags full of imps and decants, but by golly there they were!
And there were more packages, but that's where I woke up.
The box doesn't sound as cool here as it was in the dream, I'm not very good at describing things.
