Ooooh...sparkles.

Mascara is one of the few makeup items that I actually prefer to do on the cheap. It's one thing that the drugstore brands manage to do very well. CoverGirl LashBlast and its fantastically huge barrel brush has been one of my favorites since it debuted. When I saw this new release, the girly little teenager deep inside my soul squealed, busted out a few cartwheels then asked Dad for the keys to the car. Sparkly mascara! Like, OH magod. Word on the street is that it's more shimmer than sparkle. And, that the tints - Black Cabernet and Black Emerald sound the most interesting - are lovely. UPDATE: Sparkles? I don't see no stinking sparkles. Also, I don't see no stinking eyelashes. What the hell? I guess it has been a good 14 hours since I put the makeup on. But, where the hell did my eyelashes go?

Totally rad

I can't believe it's been almost three years since I gave up on this little corner of the Interwebs. I'm feeling inspired to give it another go. I'm also feeling inspired to come up with a better name. Seventies Luis Buñuel doesn't quite capture the vibe around here anymore. For now, I'll just move on to the important things. Like the shoes that have been stalking around the inside of my brain for at least three weeks now. I haven't found myself getting very excited over the truly, truly, truly outrageous 80's redux snaking all over the runways these days. But, these little yellow zippers make my heart go all Stop! Hammer time! Giuseppe Zanotti at Piperlime

So long...and thanks for all the fish!!

You may have noticed that I've thrown in the towel on this poor, neglected blog. I've been trying to deny it, but it's time to face reality. Thanks for reading, guys. Thanks to the nice commenters for commenting. The rest of you I had to delete - there are plenty of places on the web to hate the war. Maybe next summer when eBay goes dead again, I'll be back. :)
