Okay, just kidding. Sorry it’s been so long since I posted. I’m borrowing internet where ever I can find it, and using computers that aren’t my own as well. When I get my own computer back, I’ll be posting regularly again, but until then… not so much. Sorry.

Sweet Camera deals

Hi Tech Barbie | Monday, 10 November 2008

free 4mb card tcg. V242611491 I have been wanting to replace my digital cam for quite a while. You know the drill: more zoom, more mega pixels, more, more, more. I was particularly pleased then to see this deal at Amazon: you can get a free 4GB card and a hefty discount on certain cameras. Yes, I am eyeballing that 10MP Canon, and if I had a SugarKen to pay the bills, that thing would so be mine. Reckon I can find me one by November 22nd?

Vera Wang Bouquet

Glamorous Barbie | Thursday, 06 November 2008

P207306 hero Have you sniffed Vera Wang Bouquet? I found a sample in a magazine and I think I like it. The ad described it as “alluring, modern, romantic”, and I suppose I can agree with that, provided you think honeysuckle is alluring, roses are modern, and bergamot is romantic. It does warm up nicely on the skin. Personally, I do like the scent, but I would call it classic, not modern. And will someone please tell me why everyone thinks “modern” is a selling point? Do Coco Chanel’s designs ever go out of style? No, they do not. Classic is good, people. You can spend twice as much, because it will last ten times as long. D’uh.

The perfume is a little spendy, but then the good ones usually are. And when was the last time you actually ran out of a perfume? Yeah, see. A bottle lasts a lifetime, provided you store it properly.

Pink Superstore

title bar8 Wow. Just wow. A whole store full of pink goodness. From guitars to rubber duckies, it’s all here and it’s all pink. The Pink Superstore had to have been built with me in mind. That is all.

How did I find it, you ask? I Googled pink Alvarez guitar, that’s how. They don’t have the Alvarez I was looking for, but they do have several pink guitars! And a pink violin, too.

Via Spiga Kelly

Shoe Fetish Barbie | Tuesday, 04 November 2008

10942 861188 d You know, I’ve never been able to figure out how they do that iridescent color changing stuff, but these sure are interesting shoes, aren’t they? I’m not sure I like them, mind you, but they are interesting. These Via Spiga Kelly’s only have a three inche heel, though, and that knocks them right out of the running for this shortie. I want at least four full inches in a dress shoe, more if possible.

L’Oreal Skin Genesis Eye Serum

Middle Aged Barbie | Monday, 03 November 2008

200 1Boy, the eyes tell the tale, don’t they? Whatever your current condition, the eyes show it first: over-tired, dehydrated, under the weather, whatever, they put it out there for all the world to know. And that effect is only exacerbated by age. Or so I’ve heard. *cough* That’s why I now use eye cream, and why I always read the ads for new eye creams, like this one from L’Oreal. Cause at 20-21, I am all about “depuffed eyes” and “diminished dark circles”. Sounds like it might be worth the $20 asking price, if you ask me.
