Franco Wright and Adam Eastwood
Some of our readers may not know that I am the former publicist for Luckyscent who hired me in 2002, when there were a handful of fragrance blogs and about 100 perfumes on their site; five are among my favorite fragrances in 2011. Truly, you could not find many of them then anywhere in the world, and certainly not online. Ginestet Botrytis (still their top selling Gourmand since 2003), Anna Pliska, Jalaine Silk, Profumum Acqua e Zucchero Eau de Parfum and 01630 Yuzu Rouge are among my favorites; they are five of my relatively small (35 full bottles and a few 15ml) permanent collection. Soon after, the news of the little site went viral through many stories, (I mean press releases) were picked up in magazines i.e Lucky, Marie Claire and for a nano second Jay Leno mentioned it as part of his monologue. Lucky Scent had over 50 million (non blogger impressions) within the 18 months we worked together (this was not my day job). I also created the The Lucky Stars Astrology Guide.
Six Degrees of Separation
1. I was one of the original contributors for Hara Glick's new site called Make Up Alley
2. My first article was about the difficulty of getting an appointment with Eliza's Eyes at Avon.
3. I became Eliza's Brand Director at Avon and contacted Franco Wright (They were so small back then he to used to pick up everyone's calls ) about a fragrance and asked why I had never heard of his e-site. He told me he had a publicist but they weren't any good. I was hired.
4. I contacted Beauty Director Didi Gluck,(then of Marie Claire) an ex colleague from Hearst Magazines and she did a small feature on Luckyscent.
5. The perfume I could not find was from Les Parfums Keiko Mecheri
6. Les Parfums Keiko Mecheri is another sponsor of our Draw for the Cure
Lucky Scent is offering a $50 gift certificate and a Harcourt Studio Paris Room spray (that I personally love) with notes of plum, ginseng (improving mental and physical performance and an aphrodisiac), honey (practically wonderful for anything), leather, sandalwood (an euphoric yet grounding psychological effect that promotes a sense of well being, cashmere wood and musk(mental clarity and also an aphrodisiac).
Christina Appelgate had a double mastectomy and is breast cancer free. She made us laugh as the ditzy Kelly Bundy of Married with Children and in Samantha Who? Christina now stars in Up all Night. Since new parent Franco Wright and I are up all night this post is dedicated to her resilience and sense of humor while battling breast cancer.
