George Takei has a cologne coming out Dec 15





Set Phasers to Stunning. George Takei's Eau My is a clean, refreshing fragrance for Men and Women. Subtle and charming, with top notes of mandarin zest, Italian bergamot and fresh ozone transitioning to night-blooming jasmine, white freesia petals and grated ginger. Sensual woods, crystalized amber, soft skin musk, and vetiver will delight you when dry.

If I had 40 bucks to just throw away I might spring for a bottle.

I'd kind of prefer Scotty's scent though I don't think McCoy's scent would be popular.

Tough Jew is a bracing, flying judo-kick of a fragrance suitable for soldiers, cowboys and starship captains. In-your-face unapologetically macho, with top notes of horse sweat, phaser lubricant and ham bone transitioning to an odor best described as old pulp magazines rotting in mildewed basements alongside discarded semen-stained handkerchiefs. Delicately-wafted hints of gun oil, girdle rubber and leather jockstrap will delight you when dry.

I follow him on fb and his post are always good.

He does Amazon reviews that are classic. Google George Takei Amoazon reviews.

One of my favorites is for PASSION NATURAL WATER BASED LUBRICANT - 55 GALLON;

Brad and I will be Grand Marshals at this year's San Diego Pride Parade, and we were looking for just the right touch to add a bit of pizazz to our appearance. So when we stumbled across the PASSION NATURAL WATER BASED LUBRICANT - 55 GALLON drum, we felt we'd struck gold: "Just enough volume to soak an entire parade of spectators, and yet fits easily in our float." Double win.

Now, how to spray the lube on the excited on-lookers? Why, by water pump gun, of course. To test out our delivery mechanism, we purchased a drum for our back yard and set up a slip and slide. I had Brad charge toward me down the slide, and I fired at will. It helped to imagine he was a Klingon Bird of Prey: Target that explosion and FIRE.

What I didn't expect was that Brad's forward momentum would cause him to crash into me, upending the entire drum along with us. Utter chaos. Our unfortunate cats, who had come out to judge our activities as cats will, were caught in the deluge. Looking like drowned rats, they howled and sped around the yard in hysterical circles, then tried for ten minutes to climb a tree.

Once again, the neighbors thought we'd set something on fire, so the LAFD arrived shortly afterwards. Try explaining any of this to a stranger, especially a hunky one in uniform. "Hose me down?" I offered. He kindly did, then retrieved our cats out of the tree with only minor scratches to the face. (They still aren't speaking to us, by the way.)

Bottom line, we decided against soaking the Pride Parade revelers lest it create an "incident" that could upstage us entirely. But we do have a great new weekend fun activity.

My favorite line..."Once again, the neighbors thought we'd set something on fire, so the LAFD arrived shortly afterwards."

Once Again????

He also has some interesting books and stories about being locked up in camps during WWII.

Wrong guess about the hot pink stilettos. Gladiator boot sandals go much better with pajama jeans for that stunning new look that's sure to turn heads. Add a tuxedo t-shirt and your holiday wardrobe will be complete.
