This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Charles of the Ritz "Paper White" pressed powder, Revlon "Blackberry" lipstick in the original formula, and Maybeline black liquid liner in the original formula.

Man, so much word on the Blackberry lipstick. WOE.

I would add some Niche Goth Items like Ultress Plum and Burgundy hair dyes (for Goths who can't pull of black, but don't want to go red). OH! That Bonne Belle white concealer stuff in a tube. What was it called? Man, that stuff was awesome.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This lady sells discontinued Revlon items...

I'm guessing this is the newer, less desirable version?

She has a tube of Blackberry. But there is no way to figure out if it's the original formula, or if it's the new, not at all burgundy formula. Dammit!

She does say she only has one tube, which suggests it's not that easy to find.

It's the newer packaging, which means it's the new version of the color. Drat!

The world of discontinued makeup is fascinating. Feverish treasure hunting!

A couple of years ago, Plei found a seller on eBay that was selling off a stockpile of the Charles of the Ritz "paper white" compacts. I think we each bought two.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I did, too. As well as some of the eyeliner.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I wore that lipstick all through college-- I am sad now, even though I imagine it would now make my teeth look really yellow.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Whoa, wacky synchronicity. Lucia di Lammermoore just opened in San Francisco yesterday.

Also, it's being broadcast for free tonight at the Giants ballpark. People are bringing blankets and snacks and bedding down on the playing field.

That kicks SERIOUS ass. I adore Lucia.
