Think Before You Stink illustrates the materialism of the season and the very bad gift choices some people make either out of ignorance, apathy, or manipulation. As a very small child, buying Christmas gifts for parents and grandparents who seemed to have everything was a challenge. Maybe it was the overabundance of advertising or maybe I knew it was fashionable for the women in my life to stink like French whores, but my constant go-to purchase perhaps inspired by my father since he was paying for it, was cheap perfume. It came in a pretty box and I thought it appropriate at the time. I don't ever remember my mother or grandmother wearing the perfume let alone opening the box, so I'm sure it ended up in a closet. Now that I am chemically sensitive and perfumes or colognes are toxic and poisonous, I look back on my childhood and wonder who instilled in me the gift of bad gift giving?
