Being the adventures of a historic recreationist

in a word, it stinks. I just came home from our local mall with a screaming migraine. But before I could take anything for it, I had to vomit first. (Sorry, not a pretty picture) The cause - perfume. Not just a gentle wafting, but a pure physical assault. No fewer than six stores had a hazmat zone 25 feet outside their entrance. Coughing, wheezing, migraine-inducing stench-cloud. I know it wasn't just me; quite a few people were coughing or rubbing their eyes after they passed these shops. I even tried to walk down the center of the mall to avoid this, but to no avail. Worst offenders? 
*  Abercrombie 
*  Nordstrom 
*  Hot Topic 
*  Aeropastale 
*  American Eagle 
*  Hollister
*  various center-mall kiosks feature 'special beauty care' items 

One more perfume whench comes at with a bottle - "free sample?" - I'm gonna punch her in self-defense.
