Spreading like a mosaic across my desk are bars of soap.
Cremens Kevin,Self, March 2008
Why all this bountitude?
So here I am, barhoppingtesting out whatever Margaux- and Arden-selected bars landed on my desk.
As it turns out, I am not alone in my love of solid soap, especially around theVogueoffices.
(I mean, whohasntfallen for thosePortuguese Claus Porto soaps?)
The soap always leaves a ring around the tub, she confided.
I mean: No.)
he asked rhetoricallyand of course, hes right.
It wasnt just that I had tired of throwing out so many plastic soap containers.
At that moment, bar soap meant home.
A few starters: I still leave liquid by the washbasin in case any of my guests are bar-phobic.
It doesnt go anywhere elseespecially if youre not the only one using it.
Im also not a believer in the idea that the same bar can do face and body.
(Opinions may vary, of course, but I never use soap anywhere near my visage.)
And last but not least: Bar soap needs maintenance.
From my entire gorgeous mosaic, what were the favoriteswhat made it home from the office?
I always want soap to smell, well…soapy, if you know what I mean.
Then, the answer was the soap.
But before long, hopefully, it will be me.
