So, let's get this straight. Vixen points to Darkness Descending, for a cite about testimony about smell.
Turns out, there's nothing relevant in Darkness Descending to make Vixen's point - which probably explains why she did not simply quote it since - ah, er, there was nothing to quote.
Another Vixen wild goose chase.
And it turns out it was not court testimony to begin with. I mean, don't get me going what "smelled like sex" actually refers to, but there was a one-off alleged comment by Carmignani, which made it into Barbie Nadeau's sluttly little book. A book about the drug-fueled, sex-infested, three-some doing students of Perugia......
.... which Michael Winterbottom bought the rights to, and showed "Simone" in high-class hotels in Siena (doubling for Perugia) having sex with abandon with the other reporters - which the film says cost Simone her marriage - and doing cocaine with the best of them.
Other than all this malarkey, Vixen may be on to something.
