perfume riddle 3

Image
Welcome to another installment in my new feature here on Hortus Conclusus , in which a perfume bottle sings a little riddle, and it’s up to you, dear readers, to guess which bottle of perfume is riddling. Which of you will be the first to guess this one, I wonder: There once was a girl from the boonies whose antics were often quite loony. and then she made me so others could see taste as childish as the Goonies’ A perfume she made with vanilla and sugar—it was somewhat Godzilla. By that I mean hairy; I’m so sweet it’s scary, SO if I’m a dream, I’m a killah. For reverie is what I’m named after, but you may receive this with laughter, for I come in a bag with a confederate flag and sequins that look even dafter. The girl who named me is not named Candy Or Cindy or Jessie or Mandy but she became famous, then married an anus have you guessed my name? it’s : _______!
