Note: chained and perfumed’s address has changed. It is now chainedandperfumed.com. You should have been redirected automatically but if not change your bookmarks or whatever.

Also, I’ve begun a chained and perfumed tumblr to give some new life to this site’s archive which has just been sitting around collecting dust. So you can follow that if you’re so inclined. Thanks and please enjoy.
