En gang en gang bodde en veldig søvnig jente kalt Karen. Tidlig en søndag morgen signaliserte hennes Tabby Alarm Clock at det var på tide å våkne opp, men som jeg nettopp nevnte, var hun en veldig søvnig jente.
“Nei …” Hun stønnet på Purr-Chirping Tabby Vekkerklokke. “Trenger mer søvn.”

Men tabby vekkerklokken var en kompromissløs enhet, en enkel maskin som opererte på saus og lurves, og reserveren av begge var farlig lave.
Tabby-vekkerklokken utløste sin lavstrømsvarsel. “Mrrrrrowww …”
Wha!? Karen åpnet et øye som lollet om svakt, og prøvde å finne kilden til den irriterende lyden. Det kom sakte i fokus på et objekt om en fot –

“Mrrrrowwww!”
Karen rykket våken med en start. Støyen var mye høyere denne gangen.
“Tabs!” Hun ringte på tabby vekkerklokke. “La meg sove.” Og hun ploppet ned på puten hennes.
…
Stillhet. Hun må ha utløst snooze, så hun drev tilbake til å sove …
Tabby-vekkerklokken behandlet disse dataene gjennom sin sentrale behandlingsenhet, som utgav et enkelt ord som svar: uakseptabelt. Den undersøkte situasjonen, analyserte det sengebaserte terrenget, og bestemte det neste mest logiske tiltaket: fysisk intervensjon.
Og så hoppet det.
Bringe full kraft av sin 18 pund lave hengende mage til å bære på menneskets hode, den tabby vekkerklokken landet med kraften til en … 18 pund tabby.
“MRMPH!” kom det muffled gråte som Karens hender fløy til ansiktet hennes. Hennes munn var fylt med noe. Hva? Det beveget seg! I live! Hva…?
Hun skjønte hva som hadde skjedd. “Tabs!”
Med sitt oppdrag oppnådd, hoppet tabby-alarmen ut av menneskets rekkevidde.
“Tabs,” Karen gruset, “Du må lære å bruke kanåpneren, fordi det ikke var kult.”
Kul. Tabby Vekkerklokken trodde det anerkjente det ordet. Kul. Ja, veldig kul.

Min siste øyeblikk Mac Halloween kostyme,
Og pass opp haien katt!
Skyte, jeg planla ikke engang å kle seg i det hele tatt i år, men faner insisterte på at jeg kaster noe på, fordi han ikke ville være den eneste katten på blokken uten en kledd assistent / trick-or-treating kompanjong.
Jeg kunne ikke bære tanken på å treffe kostymebutikken, siden jeg visste at det skulle bli gal opptatt, så jeg bøyde en Tim Gunn og prøvde å “få det til å fungere” med det jeg hadde rundt huset.
Så langt som siste øyeblikk Halloween Getups Go, var denne Mac Artist Costume super enkelt. I slipped on a black dress, fashioned a homemade tag out of a MAC logo I found online and stuck some brushes behind my ear. Jeg virkelig, virkelig ønsket å slynge et svart børstebelt rundt midjen min (som de som Mac-artister slites på telleren), men jeg gikk ganske ut av tiden. I wore a gold brush belt from the MAC wonder woman collection instead. Les mer…
GLAM has always BEEN COOL, but benefit TAKES IT A
STEP further WITH THEIR latest makeup kit FOR EYES, LIPS and CHEEKS
The power of packaging compels you! The power of packaging compels you!
And for me with Benefit’s new “I’m Glam… therefore I am” palette ($36), it almost does. I desperately wanted to bond with B’s new kit of mostly cool-toned colors for eyes, lips and cheeks. That way I’d feel good about giving it a permanent place on my dresser, a place where I could gaze lovingly at the adorable illustrated box.
The glam gal featured on the front reminds me of the girls my friends and I would doodle on our notebooks in school, complete with gown, tiara and opera-length gloves, and her step-by-step makeup lessons imprinted on the packaging describe how to use the palette to achieve two distinct looks, one called Daytime Dahling and the other, evening Goddess.

A SMASHBOX holiday 2011 face OF THE DAY
WITH THE CLICK YOU’RE IT PALETTE
Because Smashbox bestowed numbers upon the pans of powder eyeshadow and cream liner in their new limited edition Click You’re It kit, following the included tutorial card for the “Golden Smolder” look this afternoon was a little like painting by numbers.
But not exactly. It was like a weird class combining math and art…and I’ve always kinda struggled with one of those disciplines, LOL!
I got a little carried away with the olive green eyeshadow, No. 15 in the palette, so my version of the look turned out more green than gold. I like the outcome, but it definitely didn’t go exactly as I’d planned. Les mer…
YOU’RE DESTINED FOR fame (AND FALLOUT)
WITH THE SMASHBOX BE discovered holiday PALETTE
I doubt Hollywood’s even looking for a short, sassy Filipino chick without any acting experience to star opposite Ryan Gosling in an upcoming romantic comedy, but if, perchance, I’m ever stopped by a famous director at Petco and asked to play the wind beneath Ryan’s wings, you can bet I’m putting down those 20 cans of gravy, girl, because we’re going to Hollywood!
Logic places the chances of this happening somewhere below 0.000001%, but ya never know… maybe the new limited edition Smashbox Be discovered palette (about $60, from the new Snappy holidays 2011 collection) will improve my odds. Les mer…
THE TARTE LIP service limited EDITION
LIPSURGENCE COLLECTION and A SNICKERS-FUELED SUGAR HIGH
Believe it or not, this swatch session for the new Tarte Lip service Limited-Edition LipSurgence Collection ($29) actually began as something somewhat normal. but then I had two of these tiny Snickers bars (because it’s physically impossible to have just one).
And then it sort of went downhill from there. Les mer…
happy NOSES make for happy holidays WITH THE BENEFIT
CRESCENT ROW limited edition SET
Benefit’s at it again this year, adding fragrant fuel to the fire that is my current obsession with petite perfume bottles, by taking us down another holiday trip down Crescent Row. Their new $36 Crescent Row limited edition set bundles together four of the line’s 0.43-oz. (they’re small but cute) eau de toilettes.
Even though the four fragrances in this year’s set look and seem more to me like spring and summer scents than fragrances for winter and fall, I still like them all. fragrance is a very personal thing, of course, and opinions will vary, but these four last all day long on my skin and remain pleasant as the notes evolve.

miss PIGGY FOR MAC COLLECTION
SWATCHES and PICS
When I was four, my favorite thing on television was The Muppet Show. I remember sitting in front of our set and praying I wouldn’t have to get up to fix the bunny ears on top of the TV, because I didn’t want to miss a single second.
I especially loved the two old dudes in the balcony who made fun of everyone, the adorable Fozzy bear, the Swedish chef (“Bork! Bork! Bork!”) and of course, the diva of all divas, miss Piggy.
How could you not love a glamorous pig in high heels, pearls and opera-length gloves? Les mer…
TAKE OUT YOUR dancing shoes FOR THE TARTE
THE STARLET LIMITED-EDITION makeup VANITY
My neighbors probably don’t need another reason to think I’ve completely lost my mind, but that didn’t stop me from giving them another one today.
ANNONSE
Since they already know that I take my cat out for walks on a leash, snap pictures of myself in the front yard, drive to the grocery store wearing false eyelashes, and periodically leap like this in the street, I figured heck — I have nothing else to lose. might as well take pics of myself dancing in front of the windows while I blast Footloose and try on Tarte’s new The Starlet Limited-Edition makeup Vanity ($52).
