Heard of the perfume called Hypnôse? It smells horrible.

Most perfumes do. The only reason why anyone would buy them must be that most people have a weak sense of smell.

I only use L’Occitane’s green tea perfume. In fact, I’ve got a travel package with lotion and shower gel, too.

It’s so subtle that nobody can smell it, unless they’re really close. You know, so close that only certain people get to be.

If you can smell a stranger’s perfume or cologne or whatever, it’s disgusting. It’s an invasion of my privacy. What’s worse, the smell is usually extremely unpleasant. Even baby diapers smell better.

So why am I talking about perfumes? Well, this gal has kind of hypnotic eyes.

I modelled her on Samantha Morton, once again. She’s so beautiful and quirky. Sexy lips. Huge, hypnotic eyes.

I still couldn’t do any justice to her cuteness. Maybe someday I will succeed, if I try hard enough.

I like lips that have that curve at the ends. Like Avril’s. Or Samantha’s. It’s always the lips that I start with when I paint. Noses are so difficult that I only make a half-hearted attempt at them, and eyes take a lot of time to get right. But lips are so easy, and they contribute a lot to the likeness of a painting to its model.
