In a previous entry I mentioned that we were working on a small, mostly-soap Black Label release because I’ve got my production team up to their elbows with our “facial stuff.” So, the soaps are curing, should be available shortly, and I thought I’d share a preview of these bad boys.
For now, Sidewalk & Killer Treez:
Sidewalk is a rare experiement in ozone and earth. “Hot concrete drenched in sunshowers. Summer melons, limeades and fresh-cut grass.” “Fresh” is a slightly pedestrian concept for Villainess. I mean, it’s just not what we do. So I really enjoyed the reinvention process, and the chance to infuse “fresh” with warmth and sweetness and a wealth of summer smells from my childhood.
Killer Treez, on the other hand… “The bleeding sap of a thousand fallen conifers covered in maple syrup. “ This one sprang from a hypothetical soap we discussed on the forums. Instead of using maple syrup like we speculated, I loaded this with pine tar - a supersticky, astringent, old-skool cure all. Supposed to be fab for psoriasis and various skin conditions. Anyways, it smells like you slaughtered an x-mas tree in a cedar closet and then polished off a short stack covered in maple syrup. Needless to say, I’m pleased.
One (or two) more soaps to preview - gotta clean up pics and gather my thoughts.

2 : a deliberate antagonist or tease

4 : the fall-girl in a particularly difficult situationVillainess. Redefining "bad."
Syndication:
*dies* Killer Trees is… it’s the description of my perfect soap. I’ve already told my boyfriend that I NEED this for my birthday (which is 3 months away).
