But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

I don't go in there any more. The salespeople are either mean to me, or seem to consciously avoid me.

Maybe it's because they're French--where it's not so much "the customer is always right" but rather "why are you bothering me?"

I've never had a problem at Sephora, but I usually tell most sales people to leave me alone so I might not be the best judge of service.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The tights look just fine.

Unappealing was meant to cover expensive and hard to put on, regardless of appearance.

HA!

I just had to explain my "I don't much like people" stance to someone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My main problem with Sephora is that I can't get their employees to understand the principle of Clinique's Black Honey but less sheer and more shiny. I've been looking for that lip colour for months, and I've asked more than a few salespeople, and they keep handing me pink stuff. I'm even willing to settle for less shiny since I have an overgloss that's worthy of a porn star, but even then? Not much help. And I can't take the perfume well enough to look for it myself.

I did go in for some makeup tips once, and had a chick make up half my face. It looked really stupid.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah, I don't buy glasses every year, but it's still a financially sound decision -- if I won't need glasses again before I'm in my 50s. I assume I'd need to get glasses again around the time my parents went to bifocals, right?

Yeah, the LASIK doesn't correct that problem.

Pre-baby, every Sephora in town recognized me on sight.

It was scary, actually.

Only the downtown and U-Village Sephora people recognize me. Last weekend, when I walked into the U-Village MAC store, THREE of the staff greeted me with "Oh, Miss Cupcake! Where have you been?", and one of them made sure to show me the secret "look book" for the new line launching next week.

I still drove at the time, so I waited out traffic at Bell Square on a regular and expensive basis.

I think I'm gonna need a bigger word than unappealing.

They have prescription tights, and I wish my doctor had thought to do that. But not until he's had a look, I guess.

So, if you're applying for a job and your GPA is a 2.86, with multiple Ds on your transcript, why would you provide a transcript unless the potential employer asked for one?
