The List

Here’s the recipe to complete addiction.

When I was in college, I spent my summers working at a variety of different kids camps in far away states. The most extreme of these paying Kum-Ba-Yah gigs kept me in the camp’s kitchen area, where I spent the majority of my time running trays of glasses through an oversized, supersteamyfingerburning Hobart machine.

Pinch me. Somehow I drifted into a dream of olfactory goodness and was asked to work with Leslie Blodgett of Bare Escentuals and Sephora on a contest that starts today and goes through October 23, 2009.
