Harry Slatkin Reincarnation

BornToShop — Sun, 20 Mar 2016 13:55:28 GMT

I couldn't believe my eyes when I was shopping on BBW's website and low & behold, this pineapple luminary has reappeared. Years ago, I owned the Slatkin one that was pink on the inside, however I eventually sold it on eBay for $90.00. BBW must be lacking creativity or they are hoping to resurrect the Slatkin mania again. I find it ironic that Harry is now spearheading Partylite and I cannot wait to see what he brings to them. Hopefully not a white pineapple luminary!

Set me straight here, if I'm confused, but isn't Partylite a super cheap, low budget candle company? The kind you find at the bottom of a bargain bin, kind of product?

Or am I thinking of some other company with a similar name from my distant past?

If it is as low budget as I am thinking, Harry has taken a step (or six) down, hasn't he?

@Mominohio, Partylite is a high-end candle/decor line; I have several pieces to vouch for that...! I am wondering how he will influence their fragrances. I am still not over him leaving BBW. I do not even come close to spending $$ at BBW compared to those good ole days when Slatkin was there. I keep checking out Partylite's website to see any hint of Slatkin infusing into Partylite.

Ok, thanks for setting me straight! I will check them out, and don't know what I am confusing them with.

The mind is the first to go!

I purchased this pinapple from BBW last year it has a green inside. I love it and get many compliments on it.

Good post. Yes, I have my pineapple with the pink inside, actually a pair of them which I cannot seem to let go of. Now I am going to start checking out Partylite's website. Luv me some Slatkin-----candles, that is.

@TexasBarbie, I truly pouted & boycotted BBW when he left that company years ago. I cannot begin to tell you the $$ I spent with pure enjoyment as his products were second to none. Now, I probably shop at BBW once a year, if even that. I assume we won't see immediate Slatkin with Partylite since it has only been a couple months or so. However, he will no doubt be forth coming & like you, I love me my Harry! Long live "the nose"!

Oh @BornToShop. I never got over that either. To be honest I very rarely go into that store anymore and I was always there. Please post when and if you see anything interesting on that Partylite site from Harry. I still have a couple of his candles tucked away somewhere but can't bear to light them.

@ANewHue, you know I'll be all over it! I think Slatkin realizes what side his bread is buttered on. If you & I are examples of the massive following he once had, no doubt he'll be back even bigger & better than before. Stay tuned...!

yes @BornToShop his candles were special. I loved the black amethyst scent he did for BBW. I have no reason to go in there anymors except maybe pick up a Wallflower or two. As you said, if we are an example they must have lost a lot of business.
