I went to the friendly neighborhood mall today, and was set on by some of the kiosk folks, promising collagen production, lifted skin and your basic “youth in a jar” impossibilities. Then I headed to Sephora, for a wander into major Girlville, with colors and lotions and potions galore. I was looking for something specific, but I encountered fruit juice infusions of every description. Cherry lip gloss, Guava Body Butter, Vanilla Body Wash, along with so many other sweet and edible things that you get the feeling it all should be plated for dessert. The one thing I did purchase was hair (un)dressing cream, for that just out of bed look. What can I say, are you sensing a theme here?
I know I'm not alone in cruising these aisles for retail therapy. I'm sure it's something I could quite easily do with Amy Speace, and I’ll bet she uses some tres cool products. I've asked many artists about the products they use, especially for wild looking hair, though I haven’t asked Amy. She has a new album out, Land Like A Bird, and she has some cool stuff IN her hair; feathers, bows, I don’t exactly know, but it looks good. And as always, Amy SOUNDS divine, and she's in the midst of a busy summer. So today, we have a Music Fog solo from an early morning session in Nashville last September, “It’s Too Late To Call It A Night.” In that case, the hair (un)dressing cream would be superfluous.
