Week-end Update

[devilgrrl]

I think I'm ready to qualify vertigo as the worst sensation ever. Everything feels like it's swaying or shaking under me. Even sitting up, it kind of feels like I'm being pushed off of something.

We skipped over to the mall after I got off of work so I could cash my cheque at the Evil Empire of America. We were going to go home, but caught a case of the lazies and decided to have dinner at Johnny Rocket's instead. Sometimes you just need greasy food.

Of course I was seduced by Lush, which lies right across from the from the food court. That's the curse of needing to cash my cheque at the mall. Since this is our usual haunt, we're starting to get to know most of the SAs, which is both good and bad, usually for my wallet.

They had Ghost. And I am weak. It smells so good. I also heard the details about the other Halloween products they're putting out, which sound interesting, but not so much my thing.

I did a quick spec out of Sephora because I keep hearing great things about Benefit's creme liner/shadow in Skinny Jeans. It's been in several magazines and I wanted to see if it lived up to the hype before I waste $20 on it. I will say that it did not disappoint. The colour went on really nicely and easily and also seemed very wearable, so I will most likely pick that up next week sometime.

The last stop out was by Old Navy to check the sales rack and batter my self esteem a little. God help me, but I've been looking at skinny jeans so long they've grown on me. I figured one look at my wide ass in them should sufficiently mollify the urge.

I tried them on and they didn't look bad. Steven didn't like them, but the two girls sitting in the fitting room approved. You know, because I need teenage approval. I probably am going to give into the trend, as I have many cute, long winter tops and likewise for flats. Also: I need more pants.

Now I'm just being slothful in my flannel pyjamas, watching TLC like I've been doing, oh, for the last month. Since there's not much else to do with Steven having the car, I'm probably just going to curl up in the shower with my lovely new Ghost in hopes I'll smell omg!awesome.

We don't have a Johnny Rockets here, and had it for the first time when we were in Cancun. It was nummy! We ended up going back again before we left.

I want to try Lush products, but there's no store anywhere near here, and I just can't buy something over the internet without smelling it first. *sigh* What is Ghost supposed to smell like?

I don't think I can go the skinny jeans route. I just don't have it in me. But I wish I did, because I like how they look with boots.

I can say that I can't do skinny jeans. When that general type of thing was big in the eighties it was just hell for me. Even when I weight less, I have big hips, and curves, and really bootcut jeans look great, anything else is scary.

Lush. They are suppose to open a store at the mall by my house. I thought about applying for part time work..because I was thinking about a parttime job anyway.

I've never actually used/seen the products though. A store at Mall of america carries the line, but I avoid MOA under all costs. The only specialized thing I get there is Bare Escentuals (when I wear makeup) and I can get most of that at Sephora or Ulta.

Although MOA does have this nifty peanut butter restaurant I want to try out...and now I've gone onto a tangent.

I miss my skinny jeans. Those things are AWESOME.

I usually don't even like the people in the fitting room commenting on my clothes because you knowwww they have to say nice things about it, so it always comes off as totally disingenuine/borderline sarcastic to me. I'll put on some ill-fitting top in an unflattering color and it's "OMIGOD SERSLEY. SERSLEY. THAT IS SEW. KEWT. SERSLEY. YOU SHOULD GET THAT LIKE. NOW." Yeah, you work here. Of course you want me to get that.

I'm skinny and skinny jeans just don't look good on me, IMO. I tried with a pair or two and inevitably they would either be way too baggy at the top and get the Mom Pants look, or they'd be really short and too skinny at the cuff and look like I got the wrong size :/
