Happy Friday! Birthdays today: Benjamin Franklin, Anne Brontë, Betty White, Eartha Kitt. RIP David Lynch. Our community project for today: we’re focusing on Betty White (1922-2021). Do absolutely whatever you like with the theme. If you need it: Betty White: A legacy of saucy joy that never grew old at The Christian Science Monitor, Why Betty White is so awesome at Today, Betty White, Progressive Superhero of TV History at Peabody Awards.
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
Huge thanks to therabbitsflower for reminding me that Betty White did a cameo on the TV series Community way back in 2010. She was only in 2 episodes, primarily in the Season 2 opener “Anthropology 101”, where she played Professor June Bauer. (She was also in a brief end tag at the end of episode 3). I decided that called for silly, so I’m in Jean Paul Gaultier Ma Dame.
Reminder: on 1/24, wear a fragrance with benzoin, if you have one.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2025, where I’ll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
Bonus watch for Community fans: Dani Pudi, Betty White and Donald Glover perform the Anthropology Rap. Sorry if you have to sit through a commercial.
