(It's near Beacon's Closet, a wonderful vintage clothing store.)<br /><br />For some reason, I felt compelled to purchase one of the weirdest, most revolting "perfumes" ever. Like, you probably shouldn't wear it anywhere. It's called Old Fur Coat, and it really does smell like something you could buy at, well, Beacon's Closet!

I posted a link to a positive review of Brosius and made a passing jest based on my actual experience. You then defend what I didn't attack and make a gratuitous slur while doing so. The fact is I talked to him about his work for twenty minutes--much longer than I wanted to as his breath on that occasion was remarkably foul. Which is neither here nor there in terms of his amazing intellect or design abilities, but hey, you raised the question.
