Wanna know? Really, really?

Ok, well here you go, the best way EVER to describe it:

Try to move your hair, as you would your arms, your fingers, your legs. See how it does absolutely nothing and is unresponsive? Well, that my friends, is what it’s like when a part of your body becomes paralyzed after a spinal injury.

It just stops listening. Like you and a best friend got in a fight and are now ignoring each other.

As you can guess, it’s immensely frustrating to have that ability siphoned away from you. Walking, moving, makes life SO much easier.

A cure can happen, folks, and is closer than you think! Believe and most importantly, donate!

Being the proud owner of implants myself (best investment ever!), this bra is more than intruiging:

Le Mystere No.9

“Le Mystère No. 9 is a bra with a patented system for supporting and complementing the way breasts look and feel after enhancement surgery. The first of its kind, No. 9 was made with the help of a board-certified plastic surgeon. But there’s nothing medical-looking about it. It’s as stylish as Le Mystère’s regular collection.”

Has anyone checked it out?

Meagh (an awesome chick who is a frequent poster on our boards) is right.

This new parfum from D&G is the shiz.

Entitled ‘The One,’ it’s described as “a warm, oriental floral with modern sensuality. Created for the ultimate diva, The One is at once tempting, modern and glamorous, embracing a touch of classicism…”

Btw, who knew “classicism” was a word? Did they just make that up to sound umm…classy?  

Anyways, got a free spritz of it during my crazy Nordstrom’s day yesterday. I’d buy a bottle, but the smallest bottle (1.6 oz) goes for $65. Fuck that shit. I’d rather buy a new cell phone or an expensive lobster dinner.

Hmmm yes….lobster….with lots and lots of hot butter. Goddamnit it. I’m hungry now. Anyone want to take me out?

Oceanaire sounds good to me!

Today was what I like to refer as “Crazy Makeover Day” over at Nordstrom’s at the Mall of America. Every counter in the store was giving free makeovers.

This of course is an obvious promotional tool, but I also noticed that the bosses of the makeup artist’s were assessing their work as they made-up the hordes of women looking for a free look. So maybe they use it as a “testing day” for their artists too (?).

A friend of mine, and yours truly, had 1:30pm appointments with the lovely Laura Mercier ladies. Laura Mercier is some uber-expensive, celebrity-loved makeup, founded by Miss Laura Mercier about 10 years ago. Her makeup is known (famously) for it’s amazing foundation.

As you can see from my whitified, yet evenly-toned skin to the left (with my newly purchased black-knit scarf from H&M), Laura Mercier’s foundation holds up to it’s notoriety.

So naturally, being the makeup whore that I am, I submitted, and smacked down $42 for their Silk Creme Foundation in “Rose Ivory.” Really, amazing luminous liquid foundation. Light and gently tinted. Could this be the end of my obsession with MAC’s Studio Fix Fluid Foundation? Only the future weight of my pocketbook will tell (Laura’s foundation is twice the cost).

PS. The free booze and tasty vittles we were promised at this event, were unfortunately AWOL.
