Screaming Babies in Mozart Wigs and Teddy Graham People

Since I love Queen Gabby Sidibe, I tuned into SNL last weekend. While Gabby was a bit lackluster (she is most hilarious as herself) there was one skit that I have watched about 5 times since then. Stefon by Bill Hader is amazing, fierce, flawless, etc. and Hader even breaks character making this even more incredible. Let me know what you think!

And the excitement builds

I am beyond excited for the upcoming MAC "To the Beach" collection. Now, I was looking forward to the Liberty of London collection but when I saw the actual swatches I was less than impressed, packaging is not enough to get me. But, Mac "To the Beach" looks AMAZING! They are bringing back lustre drops

which I missed out on in last summer's collections and HELLO! look at that highlight powder in the promotional picture. The lipsticks, glosses, blushes, and bronzers will definitely be a maybe for me, but yeah, the saving begins NOW! According to Temptalia this collection is going to launch 22 May, but we all know that these collections show up online a bit earlier than that. CANNOT WAIT!

Regrets #1

I regret cutting up this issue of W Magazine. The "Domestic Bliss" shoot with Brad and Angelina from July 2005 shot by Steven Klein, 50+ pictures that are all amazing. Sure I have these 3 pictures on my wall at home, but I wish I had a second copy.

Procrastination Sensation

The title speaks for itself.

I'm sitting at work halfway through page 3 of a 4 page paper that is due at 12:30 this afternoon. This madness needs to cease. The pros of being at work are that I cannot watch youtube videos or discover unseen SNL sketchs like I did last night in the comfort of my own room.

Legit, I am a disaster.

I will probably skip my 10:30 lecture because I know I can (we are watching Blade Runner...I can instant stream this on netflix) although I will not skip my bagel and energy drink. Oy to the vey I need to start my point about the Pentagon Papers so then I can talk about Nixon's invasion of Cambodia and how it negatively shaped public perceptions of government during the Vietnam War.

My reward for finishing this paper and avoiding my in lecture creeper who cannot be avoided because I must turn this in, is a manicure testing out my first bottle of Seche Vite top coat. I'm feeling like Illamsqua Collide on the nails...insane hot pink FTW.

No Money=Many Problems.

...well not really. My financial bind is preventing me from buying makeup and etc. in excess which is definitely good because I don't need it and Jacob hates eyeshadow. But seriously, I need my hair cut and colored like you wouldn't believe.

My lack of a hefty paycheck until Feb. 16th means I will miss out on immediate satisfaction from MAC's new Spring Colour Forecast Collection that comes out on the 11th. Thus far I know I want to get this eyeshadow quad.



some of the lipsticks and glosses look good, but since I can't see them in person they may have to wait until I see some YT reviews or until a MAC counter magically appears downtown.

What has me even more excited is the Give Me Liberty of London Collection coming out on March 11th, I can barely contain my excitement for this one.


AH! The packaging is so cute so I must get a safe looking lip product.

That is all.

P.s. I also really want this
