Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Palette - I FOUND IT!

Last night I was tossing and turning thinking about how badly I wanted the new Alice in Wonderland inspired Urban Decay eyeshadow palette. I honestly believe I only wanted it even more so because the Urban Decay website said I couldn't have it! The colors are not new ones, but they have new Alice in Wonderland inspired names. I spent a good hour last night and a half hour this morning looking for a place to purchase this item. I found it on ebay from several sellers trying to capitalize TREMENDOUSLY from the very limited amount of palettes available. Praying on my hopes and dreams, they slowly killed my desire to have this palette, $130?!?! Are you insane?! Absolutely not. I have spent all morning constantly checking my blackberry, making sure I haven't received a new e-mail about it.

If you know anything about me, you'll know that especially when it comes to strange new people, I would almost ALWAYS prefer to communicate via text or e-mail (especially e-mail) rather than in person or on the phone. It's not that I'm anti-social, I just lack some human element that makes me want to have people familiarize themselves with my face and voice (if the possibility exists, I am after a waitress on the weekends - need those people skills and I got 'em). Anyway, this is the reason why I'd much rather turn to yahoo answers or google to find answers to any and all of my questions. However, being that information pertaining to this makeup palette was very limited, I decided to turn to the lovely team at the Lake Grove Sephora. I called them and asked whether or not they had the Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland palette. Their answer?

They most certainly do! They have the palette in stock. When I spoke with this employee she said, "We have it in stock in the back. We haven't put it out on the floor yet, but if you come in and ask for it we will sell it to you."

::Hallelujah plays in my mind::

Booyah!

So there you have it. And shame on all of those on ebay turning over 100% profit on those palettes by making innocent lovers of makeup (like myself) pay you ridiculous amounts of money.

So if you're like me and desperately seeking a place selling the new Alice in Wonderland Urban Decay palette, I suggest you call your local Sephora to find out if they have it in stock, which they PROBABLY DO!

Good luck!

South Park

Everytime I think South Park is amazingly stupid - and of course by that I mean only that it is wonderful - it goes on and proves me right.  Last night, Ms. Garrison had to teach the students the theory of evolution. 

Ms. Garrison: Now I, for one, think evolution is a bunch of bullcrap! But I've been told I have to teach it to you anyway.  It was thought up by Charles Darwin and it goes something like this...  In the beginning, we were all fish. Okay? Swimming around in the water.  And then one day a couple of of fish had a retard baby, and the retard baby was different, so it got to live.  So retard fish goes on to make more retard babies, and then one day, a retard baby fish crawled out of the ocean with its... mutant fish hands... and it had butt sex with a squirrel or something and made this (points to prehistoric mammal rodent).  Retard frog-squirrel, and then that had a retard baby which was a... monkey-fish-frog... And then this monkey-fish-frog had butt sex with that monkey, and that monkey had a mutant retard baby that screwed another monkey... and that made you!  So there you go! You're the retarded offspring of five monkeys having butt sex with a fish-squirrel! Congratulations!

I think I only had a deeper appreciation for it because of my BIO 344 class - Chordate zoology.  We traced the evolutionary history of all phyla and honestly, (although Ms. Garrison's explanation of evolution is reductive) Ms. Garrison had it right...

...Amazing
