Every few months I travel to New York for work and I have a habit of stopping in to every bodega on the block. Why? Not because I am looking for that special porn mag with a cover of Lindsy Lohan, not because I need to buy yet another pack of fruit flavored trident gum and not even for the wonderful service I receive by the toothless man behind the counter with the unwanted glances at my lower regions, No, no, none of that. (although, if you know where I can get said porno mag, you need to hit a girl up) It is because of this wonderful product that Fabulouso can't even touch. It's the powdery scented cleaning product called Mistolin, in baby scent. Now in every other bodega you can find floral, lavender, gardenia, and apple. But NEVER EVER baby scent!!!
I became addicted to this stuff about five years ago when traveling to NYC on the spread the dread tour with Sonia Peterson (R.I.P.). For some reason this stuff seems to be only on the coasts of our wonderful country, so I know I can usually pick a bottle or two up in the lower east side of Manhatten. But in the last two or three years this stuff has become as scarce as a Obama/Biden sticker on a suburban trophy wife's SUV. Seriously, when you use this all purpose wonder in your home you will be wisked away to another time when running around without pants on and putting different body parts in your mouth was totally acceptable. I'm not joking, it was seriously the biggest and best purchase I have made in the big apple since, idono, since, maybe that Liquid Silk I get from Toys In Babeland. (Which I still have to snatch up every time. No pun intended.)
Well, last week I came upon a pleasant surprise, I was crouching down in hopes to catch a peek at the cleaning products in this special bodega on Ludlow St. , very close to Kropps and Bobbers (the salon I work out of when in town) and I got lucky people. I saw the familiar pinky purple tinted solution with the happy little ducky on the front. I actually giggled out loud and started clapping like a two year old!! (this stuff has magic powers I swear!) I grabbed their whole stock, only five, it must be a popular scent. There was at least twenty of every other scent, I couldn't have been happier!!! I didn't even think about the trouble this was going to cause when we got the luggage to the airport with the weight restrictions and bag limits. We came in at exactly 49.9 lbs, *phew* luckily I didn't have to give up any of my "babys". I don't know what I would have done if it had come to that. Maybe throw out those hot Japanese thigh high boots I bought in china town. Naw..... well maybe.
Why is this stuff so amazing? Let me count the ways.... at 99 cents a bottle, you can use it on your hardwood floors, you can use it on your counters, you can use it in your tub, and my all time favorite; you can even use it in your laundry! I am pretty fucking excited people. There is nothing better than walking into your baby fresh home after a long day of work surrounded by smelly adults. Now your home too can smell as fresh as a baby's bottom! Now what can we do about your co-workers. Hmm... Secret has come out with something haven't they??
Until next time. xo- M
