One can REALLY make a statement if one dares wear the perfume packaged in a bottle shaped like an exclamation point.
Sure, I'll admit it - I wore the shit out of "Exclamation" as a pre-teen. I liberally showered myself in it, like every other girl in the 7th grade, in the hopes that someone would notice the scent and make comment on my "exclamation".
Sadly, it mixed in with all the other troubling, desperate scents of adolesence.
Sweat, armpit, unwashed hair...and United Colors of Benetton, anything by Prince Matchebelli, and a handful of Avon parfums (if you will).
Love's Baby Soft, on the other hand, was too subtle to be regarded as contemporary or interesting.
Actually, I had a cousin who wore it that always sort of annoyed me - so, I decided a long time ago to hate it.
And I'll stand by that.
Granted, I don't remember what the fuck "Electric Youth" smelled like, but Debra Gibson (as she prefers to be called these days) was no Tiffany. And if there had been a Tiffany cologne I would have surely bought it, as I have a sneaking suspicion that Tiffany got WAY more play than Goody Goody Debbie.
AFTER ALL, "I THINK WE'RE ALONE NOW" WAS ABOUT THE INEVITABLE ACT OF "DOING IT".
