I went to the Class Day ceremonies at Harvard today because I wanted to hear Amy Poehler speak (like every smart young lady in America, I am morally bound to support any event at which she is featured). The crowd was full of girls in bright, floral dresses, hair and skin and smiles gleaming. Poehler herself wore this gorgeous shade of saturated teal and a metallic blazer, bright as the blonde froth of her hair. There were huge Veritas flags strung up everywhere, and the trees in Harvard Yard were shedding the tiniest golden leaves, like tasteful, perfectly-timed confetti. A sucker for ceremony (even ones I am not a part of), I walked home feeling restless and nostalgic, optimistic but a little bereft.

Poehler told the students that if they could manage to add kindness and the ability to fix a tire to their existing smarts and bravery, they would just about be the perfect people (not just sweetness & light, she did flip off the kid who referred to her as the "blonde Tina Fey" at the start of his very funny speech). She was more earnest than any of the student speakers. She told them to put down their iPhones and look at people's faces. Her own face—not just that custard-colored hair—was radiant, but I believed her when she said she'd stayed up late writing her speech. I get the feeling that she is the sort of person who, even when exhausted, emits a kind of sunshine. She just seems so undeniably good. Though there is nothing goofy about Beyond Love (apart from its stupid-high price), it is also undeniably good.
My mom has said that if writing doesn't work out for me, I should try to become a scent adviser to the stars. (Is this a real job? Has anyone seen a "Scent Adviser to the Stars" offer intimate-seeming insight in US Weekly followed immediately by a disclaimer that they have never met, let alone sniffed, the celebrity in question?) If writing and manure-ranking both fail to keep me in perfumes, I'll start with Amy Poehler: Get your hands on some Beyond Love! No doubt you'll look adorable even with your nose buried deep in your own elbow crook.

How could writing possibly not work out for you: this post is pure perfection, as radiant as Amy Poehler, as undeniably good as that perfume I want to smell on you.
Can't we become scent advisors to the stars and be writers too? Let's go into biz together. I've been told I should do this too (well, not the stars exactly; just rich people) but am too unmotivated to start a company on my lonesome.
Let's do it! I think all we need is a spiffy website and some sponsors. Perhaps we should meet for some fizzy white wine and business-plan development.
And Britta, thank you, you are too kind. ♡
On the contrary, I think your amazing writing will give you exactly the edge you need over all the other scent advisors out there. I'll be your first client! I'm not a star and I have no money. But hey, it's a start, isn't it?
If fizzy wine is involved, how can we go wrong?
Yo, let's set up the website.

More fizzy wine required; we'll hit upon a winner.
